X-rays, MRIs and CT scans

If you are going to have an X-ray, CT scan, MRI or other type of exposure to radiation, take off your

pump, sensor, transmitter, meter and remote control before entering a room containing any of these

equipment.

The Paradigm pump is designed to withstand common electromagnetic interference, including airport

security systems. Be sure to carry the Emergency Card provided, when you are traveling. This card

provides airport information.

Precautions

Although the pump has multiple safety alarms, it cannot notify you if the set is leaking or the insulin has

lost its potency. It is essential, therefore, that you test your blood glucose levels at least four times per

day. If your blood glucose is out of range, check the pump and the infusion set to ensure that the

necessary amount of insulin is being delivered.

Avoid extreme temperatures

1 Avoid exposure of your pump and remote control to temperatures above 108°F (42°C) or below 34°F

(1°C).

2 Insulin solutions freeze near 32°F (0°C) and degrade at high temperatures. If you are outside in cold

weather, wear your pump close to your body and cover it with warm clothing. If you are in a warm

environment, take measures to keep your pump and insulin cool.

3 Do not steam, sterilize or autoclave your pump or remote control.

Infusion sets and sites

Avoid using an infusion set insertion site that will be irritated by clothing and accessories, or by rigorous

stretching and exercise.

Sensor

Prior to exercising, make sure the sensor is firmly attached.

Adverse reactions

Operation of the sensor feature requires the insertion of a glucose sensor into the skin. Bleeding, swelling,

bruising, or infection at the sensor insertion site are possible risks of sensor use. The sensor should be

removed if redness, pain, tenderness or swelling develop at the insertion site. The optional occlusive

dressing should be removed if irritation or a reaction to this develops. Contact your doctor and our 24

Hour HelpLine in the event of any adverse reaction.
