Barometric pressure
Your pump is designed to work in normal barometric conditions
(from 550 to 1060 mbar).
Do not use your pump in hyperbaric chambers, or in hazardous
areas where, for example, flammable gases or vapors could be
present. This could cause an explosion.
Always stop and disconnect your pump from your body before
you enter hazardous areas. For more information, contact your
local pump support (see inside back cover).
Note
Rapid and extreme changes in air pressure or temperature
can influence insulin delivery, especially if there are air
bubbles in the cartridge or tubing.
Such changes could occur when you are, for example:
j in an airplane without pressure balance during takeo
j when practicing sports like hang-gliding
j leaving a heated room and going outside in cold
weather.
Wear your pump close to your body, remove any air
bubbles from the cartridge and tubing and measure your
blood glucose more frequently in such situations.
Where in doubt, take o the pump and change to
alternative therapy method.
