Warnings and precautions

This section includes: 1.1 Warnings 1.2 Precautions

Caution: Rx-only! The device is restricted to sale by or on the order of a licensed health care practitioner. Prior to starting the pump be aware of the following warnings and precautions.

1.1 Warnings Warning: Avoid any contact of the pump with water. Water entering the pump may result in a malfunction which could cause severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose value) or complete pump shut-down. Should your pump come into contact with water, check whether: – Water has gotten inside the pump case, or whether water is visible in the display area. – The cartridge contents expected agree with the insulin remaining counter on the display. If you detect water in the pump casing or think the cartridge contents are inconsistent with what you expect, then put the pump in STOP immediately and take the following steps: – Remove the infusion set from your body. – Measure your blood glucose value and correct it, if necessary, per your doctor’s orders. – If you are unable to correct your blood glucose value, contact your health care provider immediately or get transportation to the nearest emergency room. – If you are able to correct your blood glucose value, inspect the system, i.e. the pump, the adapter and the infusion set.

H-TRONplus Reference Manual

– If you detect a problem, follow the instructions for returning your pump and continue therapy with your back-up insulin delivery device. – Call the toll-free number on the back of your pump for troubleshooting help or to make arrangements to return your H-TRONplus for inspection.

Warning: If an alarm ”occlusion” ERROR 04 appears, immediately check your blood glucose level, because delivery of insulin may have been interrupted. If blood glucose is high, treat according to your health care team’s instructions. An ERROR 04 may be caused by an empty cartridge, a reused cartridge, a blocked infusion set, a dirty or damaged piston rod or a low battery in compartment 2 (motor).

Always dry your pump with a dry cloth after accidential contact with water. – Change pump batteries only in a dry environment. – When changing a battery, check that the black ”O”-ring is correctly installed and seated properly. Warning: Incorrect programming of the pump will lead to an incorrect dose of insulin. Do not operate the H-TRONplus Insulin Pump without knowing your personal settings. The pump must be programmed with your personal settings prior to starting the therapy! If you are not experienced, make sure that your doctor or health care professional checks your personal settings. Frequent self-blood glucose monitoring will help you to find your personal settings more rapidly and to detect incorrect doses early. Successful pump therapy requires at least 4 measurements of blood glucose per day, or as directed by your health care team. Since only fast-acting insulin is used for pump therapy, there is no insulin reserve in the body. Without insulin, diabetic ketoacidosis can develop rapidly, leading to hospitalization. If insulin delivery is interrupted for any reason, be prepared to replace the missed insulin immediately. Make sure to check your blood glucose regularly to determine if the system is functioning properly.

8

H-TRONplus Reference Manual

Warning: A leakage in the system is not detectable by the insulin pump. Therefore, check the cartridge, the infusion set and its connections regularly. Should you detect any loss of insulin, replace the leaking component. Warning: Air bubbles in the cartridge and in the infusion set cause the infusion of air instead of insulin. Your body will not receive the required amount of insulin. An ”occlusion” ERROR 04 may be delayed. Remove these bubbles while filling the cartridge and priming the infusion set. Cold insulin may release dissolved air when warmed. Use only insulin at room or preferably body temperature when filling the cartridge and priming the infusion set. Check the system for air bubbles regularly and, if necessary, change system components according to the procedure described in the reference manual in section 4, ”prepare the cartridge and attach the infusion set,” or in section 5.4, ”change a cartridge and an infusion set.” Warning: Never carry out the functions ”program the basal rate,” ”change the cartridge” and ”prime the infusion set” with an infusion set inserted into an infusion site in your body. Otherwise you risk uncontrolled delivery of insulin into your body. With disconnectable infusion sets, be sure you have disconnected prior to programming, changing, or priming. Always follow the instruction for use of the infusion set you are using.

Warning: Check for chips and cracks if the pump is dropped. Do not use the pump if it is chipped or cracked.

Batteries Caution: Always have extra batteries available and pay attention to the following:

Inspect the pump daily for cracks or chips. Check around battery compartments. Also check the h-, m- and S-buttons for cracks or damage. Be sure that the buttons rebound when pressed. Avoid chips and cracks by safely attaching your pump to your body or to your clothes. Be sure that you can safely protect the pump while engaging in any sports with rough body contact, like boxing, football, hockey or rugby. Otherwise, remove the pump.

– Do not store the batteries in the refrigerator or freezer. High humidity affects battery life. – Always keep batteries in the original package until ready to use. Prevent early discharge of the batteries by preventing contact between the batteries themselves and between the batteries and any other metal (coins, keys, etc.). – For operating the pump, the temperature of the batteries must be +41°F to +122°F (+5°C to +50°C). – Change pump batteries only in a dry environment. – When changing a battery, check that the black ”O”-ring is correctly installed and seated properly. – To tighten batteries use only the Disetronic battery tool until the top of the battery is level with the pump case. Over tightening may cause pump case damage.

Warning: Avoid electromagnetic fields of radar or antenna installations, of high-voltage lines, of power stations, of X-Ray sources, MRI, CAT scan or the like. Do not use the pump in these areas. If this situation is unavoidable you must take off the pump beforehand. Otherwise electromagnetic fields can lead to defective functions in the pump’s electronics and could result in ”ERROR 07, System Alarm”. Because of the variety of portable phones, their influence on the pump cannot be ruled out completely. It is advised to keep the pump at a distance of at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the phone while the phone is in use. Security systems for transit checks in airports as well as anti-theft monitoring devices installed in department stores, shops, etc. are harmless and do not affect the functioning of the insulin pump.

Sun and UV radiation and heat Caution: Do not place the pump in direct sunlight. Overheating of the insulin and the pump must be avoided. Caution: Temperatures over 122°F (50°C) may damage the insulin. Temperatures over 149°F (65°C) may also damage the electronics of the pump. Only use the H-TRONplus within its temperature limits.

1.2 Precautions Accessories and disposables Caution: Only use accessories and disposable materials that are designed expressly for use with the pump. Other accessories and disposable materials may not have been checked for compatibility with the H-TRONplus Insulin Pump and may, therefore, endanger your health if used. Always have extra accessories and disposable materials with you. This will allow you to exchange components when needed.

10 H-TRONplus Reference Manual

Warning: Always remove your H-TRONplus before you enter a sauna, hot tub or a Jacuzzi. Do not use the pump in water! Cold Caution: Use of your pump at temperatures under 41°F (5°C) may cause a malfunction of the batteries. Wear your pump under your clothes or directly on your body in cold weather.

H-TRONplus Reference Manual

11

Variation of the air pressure Caution: The pump adapter has two holes to allow the variation in air pressure within the cartridge compartment. Never plug the two holes. In this way a variation of the air pressure, for example in an airplane or when climbing on a mountain, does not affect the pump or the dosage of the insulin. Control the beeps (special function) Caution: The H-TRONplus allows users to silence warning beeps, confirmation beeps and beeps when buttons are pressed. The beeps caused by an alarm (ERROR-message) can not be silenced when the pump is in RUN. Check the display of the H-TRONplus Insulin Pump regularly, especially if for any reason you might be unable to hear the beeps (i.e. noise). This is the only way you will be aware of any changes in the pump in a timely manner. Changing to another pump Caution: Prior to use, always check the settings of a replacement, a spare, or a new pump, in order to avoid a wrong dosage. Cleaning Caution: Do not clean with water! Do not use any solvents or strong detergents for cleaning. Only use a soft dry cloth. Cosmetics, soaps, lotions, deodorants Caution: Avoid any contact of the infusion set and especially of the connecting parts of the pump with antiseptics, antibiotic creams, soaps, perfumes, deodorants, body lotions or any other cosmetics. They may cause damage to these parts. Insurance Your new insulin pump is an expensive medical device. We strongly encourage you to add your pump to your homeowner’s insurance policy to protect you in case of accidential damage or loss. Ask your insurance agent for details. Please keep these safety instructions in mind. For additional questions please contact your health care team and/or Disetronic.

If the parameters set in your pump do not meet your needs, changes can be made by Disetronic. Consult your doctor or health care team about your personal programming. If in doubt, please contact Disetronic to discuss how to proceed.

2.5 Accessories and disposables Caution: Use only specified accessories and disposables, because only these items are tested for correct delivery of insulin when used with the pump. The reuse of any materials designed for single use may increase the risk of an infection, of a malfunction and of a wrong dosage. Use the cartridge and the infusion set only once! Regularly replace these items according to the instructions provided with the accessories. Caution: Most of the accessories and disposable materials are specially designed for the use with the H-TRONplus pump. Always have extra accessories, disposable materials and extra batteries available in order to prevent involuntary interruption of pump therapy.

Motor (2)

Electronic (3)

Batteries (Special PowerPacks) The H-TRONplus requires two 3-volt silver oxide batteries to power the electronics and the motor. The compartments for the batteries are marked as follows: – compartment for the motor battery: 2 (for ERROR 02) – compartment for the electronic battery: 3 (for ERROR 03) (farthest from the cartridge chamber)

Always have extra batteries available and pay attention to the following: – Do not store the batteries in the refrigerator or freezer. High humidity affects battery life. – Prevent early discharge of the batteries by preventing contact between the batteries themselves and between the batteries and any other metal (coins, keys, etc.). Always keep batteries in the original package until ready to use. – For operating the pump, the temperature of the batteries must be +41°F to +122°F (+5°C to +50°C).

18 H-TRONplus Reference Manual

– To tighten batteries use only the Disetronic battery tool until the top of the battery is level with the pump case. Over tightening may cause pump case damage. – Use only Disetronic batteries. Otherwise, the settings and alarms may be incorrect and/or the pump could be damaged. The working life of the batteries (2 and 3) is affected by usage of the pump, rates, temperature, etc. Batteries should last at least 4 weeks. Caution: For preventing water from entering the pump case: – Change pump batteries only in a dry environment. – When changing a battery, check that the black ”O”-ring is correctly installed and seated properly.

(3) (2)

Battery tool Use only the battery tool to insert, tighten or remove the batteries. Use the hole in the top to put the tool on your key chain.

Piston rod The piston rod moves the plunger of the cartridge forward. Due to wear it has to be replaced every year. Always make sure that the cog wheel spins freely on the piston rod. The nylon end cap should spin and the metal rod should be clean.

Cartridge The sterile-packed cartridge set contains all items required to fill the cartridge with insulin. The cartridge is a sterile product intended for single use only. Sterility is guaranteed for unopened packaging up to the indicated expiration date. Do not use if package is damaged. Do not reuse single use materials. Reuse of single use materials might lead to a malfunction of the pump and to the administration of an incorrect amount of insulin and/or an infection.

H-TRONplus Reference Manual

19

Pump Adapter The pump adapter makes a reliable connection between the pump, cartridge, and the infusion set. At the same time, it seals the cartridge compartment with ”O”-rings. Inspect the ”O”-rings before putting the pump adapter on the pump. They should not show signs of wear. The two small openings on the adapter allow air pressure to equalize. The holes should not be plugged or the air pressure can not equalize. The pump adapter has to be changed every 6 months. Infusion set The infusion set connects the pump, the cartridge and the body, and is therefore a crucial part of insulin pump therapy. The insulin is delivered from the cartridge in the pump through the infusion set into the subcutaneous tissue. The cannula is usually placed in the abdomen or the hip. All infusion sets are sterile and intended for single use only. Disetronic offers a wide range of infusion sets. The infusion set is a sterile-packed product intended for single use only. Do not use if package is damaged. Do not reuse single use materials. All Disetronic infusion sets are PVC free. They are made of polyethylene only or polyethylene covered with polyurethane, thus they are well tolerated by the skin and neutral to insulin. The diameter of the infusion set tubing has been reduced in order to achieve faster and more economical priming. Common length of the tubing 60 cm / 24“ 80 cm / 31“ 110 cm / 43“

If the pump user is not able to independently operate the H-TRONplus pump, e.g. due to a disability or other special conditions, make sure that the assisting person strictly follows the instructions contained in this manual. Caution: Always pay attention to the operating status of the H-TRONplus (STOP or RUN). Operations can only be performed if the HTRONplus is in the correct operating status. In this reference manual, you will find the necessary operating status indicated on the headline in bold type. Always make sure that you are in the required operating status and change the status if required according to the instructions in the chapter 5.1 ”start and stop pump delivery.”

3.1 Insert and change batteries Caution: In order to prevent water from entering the pump case: – Change pump batteries only in a dry environment. – When changing a battery, check that the black ”O”-ring is correctly installed and seated properly.

The compartments for the batteries are marked as follows: – compartment for the motor battery: 2 (for ERROR 02). – compartment for the electronic battery: 3 (for ERROR 03) (farthest from the cartridge chamber). Always have extra batteries available and pay attention to the following: – Do not store the batteries in the refrigerator or freezer. High humidity affects battery life. – Prevent early discharge of the batteries by preventing contact between the batteries themselves and between the batteries and any other metal (coins, keys, etc.). Always keep batteries in the original package until ready to use. – For operating the pump, the temperature of the batteries must be +41°F to +122°F (+5°C to +50°C). – To tighten batteries use only the Disetronic battery tool until the top of the battery is level with the pump case. Over tightening may cause pump case damage. – Use only Disetronic batteries. Otherwise, the settings and alarms may be incorrect and/or the pump could be damaged. – Take the used batteries to a battery recycling location or if no such location exists, return the batteries to Disetronic. Please do not dispose of them in the household trash.

Caution: Removing both batteries simultaneously will cause the data memory to be erased (including current settings, such as, temporary basal rate changes or programmed bolus), the loss of the remaining cartridge volume, the history of alarms, ERROR 10 and ERROR 01, and the time setting. Only the basal rate programming is not lost. Reinsert the batteries according to section 3.1.1 ”insert the batteries” after having removed them simultaneously. You need to reprogram/verify all pump settings and start with a new cartridge. If not, your insulin remaining counter will not match the actual contents of your cartridge. If the cartridge in the pump actually has less than 315.0 units, the ”cartridge low warning” alarm (ERROR 10) will not alert you when the cartridge is low on insulin. When the cartridge is empty, the pump will alarm ERROR 04 (occlusion).

Caution: Change the battery only in a dry environment and do not remove both batteries simultaneously. Check that the black ”O”-ring is correctly installed and seated properly. See section 3.1 ”insert and change batteries” for further precautions. It is usually not necessary to change both batteries at the same time. When the pump alarms ERROR 02, change the battery in compartment 2 (motor). When the pump alarms ERROR 03, change the battery in compartment 3 (electronic). To change a battery: 1. ➜ Press S and hold for three seconds to silence the ERROR alarm if present. 2. ➜ Press h and m and hold for a least three seconds to change to STOP, unless the pump is already in STOP. 3. ➜ Remove the battery from the pump using the battery tool, and replace it with a new battery. 4. Be sure the battery is tight. Tight means the top of the battery is level with the pump case. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening may cause pump case damage. 5. ➜ Check the clock, and review basal rate programming. (See section 3.5). 6. ➜ Change to RUN

3.2 Insert/remove both batteries 3.2.1 Insert both batteries Inserting the batteries will power the pump and start the time to technical inspection counter. This counter is set for 24 months.
