in insulin dependent patients.
Contraindications

Warnings and Precautions
Radiology Equipment
Your Animas 2020 has been designed to operate in the presence of common sources of
electrostatic and electromagnetic interference, including airport and store security systems.
However, like all portable electronic devices, the pump should not be exposed to very
strong electromagnetic fields, such as in MRI’s, RF welders or magnets used to lift
automobiles. Very strong magnetic fields, such as in an MRI, can re-magnetize the portion
of the motor that regulates insulin delivery. If you plan to undergo an MRI, remove your
pump beforehand and keep it outside the room during the procedure.
