Occasionally check that your pump personal settings are correct.
Occasionally check to make sure the pump emits audible tones that are easily detectable.
For example, the audible tones should be heard every time you replace the battery.
If using the upload or download feature*, keep the communication window free of
obstructions and refer to the Instructions for Use included with the IR (infra-red)
Accessory Kit.
*Contact your local Animas distributor for information on ezManager Software and IR
Accessory Kit. To find out if your pump model is compatible with your ezManager software,
go to the pump download feature on ezManager and check the drop down box for your
pump model number. If your model number is not an option, call Customer Support at 1-
877-767-7373.
Note: Your pump uses battery power to notify you of reminders, alerts, warnings and
alarms. If you do not confirm the notification, your pump will continue to use battery
power as the notifications repeat and progress. This will result in reduced battery life and
the Replace Battery Alarm screen appearing sooner than expected.
Additionally, certain warnings (e.g., Low Cartridge Warning, Occlusion Alarm) take
precedence over less critical ones (e.g., Low Battery Warning). This means if you do not
confirm the more critical warning, battery life will be reduced and your pump may skip the
Low Battery Warning and go directly to the Replace Battery Alarm, or the battery life will
end before a Replace Battery Alarm is displayed.
Safety Information
The Animas 2020 is designed only for Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII).
It is not intended for use with any other delivery substance.
This User Guide gives instruction on how to program and operate the pump. Animas
Corporation does not make any recommendations on specific programming related to
your diabetes care program. Consult your healthcare team for instructions specific to
your treatment plan.
Consult your healthcare team before using the pump to determine which
programming features are appropriate for you. Some features require a greater
knowledge of insulin pumping and advanced self-care skills. Additionally, some
advanced programming features require that testing and fine-tuning of basic
settings be completed in order to achieve the best possible results. Your
healthcare team will give you specific training on programming and using your
pump.
Use of Extended Bolus, Combo Bolus, ezCarb (carb calculator), Insulin on Board
and ezBG (blood glucose correction calculator) all require input from your
healthcare team. Do not attempt to use these features until you have specific
information for your treatment plan and have had specific training on each
programming feature.
