Welcome
Congratulations. You have chosen one of the most advanced diabetes management systems available
®
today. Your OneTouch
Symphony™Insulin Delivery and Blood Glucose Monitoring System will play an integral part in the blood glucose management and continuous insulin delivery regimen that you have established with your health care professional.
®
Your OneTouch OneTouch
Symphony™System combines the functionality of an Animas®Insulin Pump and a
®
Meter Remote through radio frequency (RF) communication. Both devices will work independently of one another, but using them together can provide you with options to help make insulin delivery more discreet and flexible.
®
Your Animas
Insulin Pump uses the latest advanced technology, providing continuous insulin delivery to help maintain your blood glucose targets as recommended by your health care professional. It delivers insulin in two ways: 1) continuous “basal” insulin delivery and 2) “bolus” insulin delivery to cover foods eaten and/or reduce a high blood glucose level.
®
Your OneTouch
Meter Remote combines the accuracy expected from OneTouch®products with features designed to make testing and tracking more convenient. These include a meter remote memory that serves as an electronic logbook for storing all your glucose test results along with other diabetes-related health records. Another new feature is a Food Database which can be easily accessed on your meter remote. The Food Database helps take the guesswork out of carb counting.

Before using your OneTouch®Symphony™System to deliver insulin, you must complete training with a
®
certified Animas
Insulin Pump trainer on the insulin pump and on the meter remote.
As part of your training, your health care professional will assist you in making the appropriate selections for your insulin pump and meter remote settings. Your insulin pump must be programmed for your own personal use. Your insulin pump settings impact the calculations for insulin delivery using either your meter remote or insulin pump. Be comfortable with using your insulin pump before you activate the RF feature on your insulin pump and meter remote. See the appropriate chapters in Section I, pages 1–104 for the steps on setting up and using your insulin pump.
Many people also find it helpful to practice the blood glucose test process with control solution before testing with blood for the first time. See Chapter 8 in Section II, pages 159–162.
For best results the use of your insulin pump, or your meter remote to access pump functions, is recommended for people with diabetes who are willing to:
Test their blood glucose levels four to six times per day or as recommended by their health care team.
Demonstrate adequate carbohydrate counting skills.
Maintain good diabetes self-care skills.
See their health care professional regularly.
Have adequate vision and hearing to recognize the pump alerts.

About radio frequency (RF) communication
Your meter remote and pump have built-in RF capability. RF is a type of wireless communication. Cell phones use RF technology, as do many other devices. RF is how your meter remote and pump communicate and share data.
The RF feature on your meter remote and pump will be deactivated when you first receive them. In order to begin using your meter remote and pump together as a system, RF must be activated on both devices and they must be paired (synchronized). Activating RF opens a line of communication on both devices and pairing ensures communication will take place only between one meter remote and one pump.
RF communication between your meter remote and pump will work up to a distance of about 10 feet and will transmit through clothing. Direct line of sight is not required for RF communication. As long as you have a good RF signal and are within range, you can use your meter remote to access pump functions.
When conditions or distance cause RF communication to be lost or interrupted, you will not be able to use your meter remote to access pump functions. This also means that data transfer between the two devices will stop temporarily. As soon as the problem is resolved, RF communication will resume. Any status records stored in your pump during the RF interruption will then be sent to your meter remote.
Your meter remote and pump are subject to and comply with U.S. Federal regulations, Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules regarding devices with RF capability. From these regulations, the two conditions of operation specific to your device are given in the following FCC required statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
II
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Draft. 410-106-00 Rev. A
Compliance with these guidelines means that under normal day-to-day circumstances your OneTouch Symphony™System should not affect the operation of other devices. Additionally, your OneTouch
®
Symphony™System should operate normally in the presence of other devices in a normal household environment. In the event there is interference from another device, it is recommended that you
increase distance between your system and that device, or turn off the interfering device. Alternatively, you may turn off RF communication between the meter remote and pump and perform insulin delivery functions directly from your pump (see Chapter 2 in Section III, pages 180-182).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer (Animas Corporation) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
There are environments where it is recommended that you not use the RF communication feature linking your meter remote and pump. When you are in radiology and MRI departments and around radiology equipment, it is recommended you first deactivate the RF communication feature on both your meter remote and your pump. Then you must remove both devices and leave them outside the
MRI room. Any metal needle infusion sets should also be removed and left outside the MRI room.
Likewise, during air travel your airline may have specific restrictions about using your System with RF communication activated. It is recommended that you deactivate the RF feature on your pump and meter remote during flights, or check with your airline’s RF restrictions when making your travel plans. To learn more about deactivating the RF feature on your pump and meter remote, see Chapter 2 in Section III, pages 175–184.
®
Your pump has additional environmental restrictions. See Chapter 1 in Section I, pages 3–8 for recommendations regarding the use of pumps in the presence of radiology equipment.
Using your meter remote and pump together as a system
Once you have established communication between your meter remote and pump, you can access certain pump functions directly from your meter remote. These include delivering a bolus, monitoring pump status, and confirming many pump alarms and warnings.
Your pump has its own set of display screens and buttons to provide stand-alone insulin delivery without the use of your meter remote. Some of the buttons work the same way as the buttons on your meter remote. One example is the button on your pump. Like the button on your meter remote, the button on your pump is used to confirm entries. Be sure you know how the buttons workon both your pump and meter remote before you begin using the devices together as a system.
When you use your meter remote to access pump functions, your meter remote display screens will closely resemble your pump display screens.

Insulin Pump
Your pump is designed and calibrated to deliver U100 insulin. Use of any insulin with lesser
or greater concentration can result in serious injury or death.
Never prime tubing or tighten the cartridge cap while the infusion set is connected to your
body. Doing so while the infusion set is connected to your body can result in unintended delivery of insulin, which can result in serious injury or death.
Warnings and Precautions
Radiology Equipment
Your pump 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, your 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.

An insulin pump is a tool to allow you to better manage your diabetes by mimicking the way a healthy pancreas delivers insulin. When connected to a properly inserted infusion set, your pump delivers insulin at a continuous level (basal rate), 24 hours a day. You program delivery of an immediate dose (bolus) of insulin to cover food eaten or to correct high BG.
Your pump is engineered and manufactured to the highest standards of quality. Although it is a highly sophisticated medical device, it has been carefully designed to be easy to use.

Audio Bolus/ezBolus
This button allows you to program a bolus without looking at your pump, by using audible tones to confirm programming and delivery. If you choose not to activate the Audio Bolus feature, this button provides a shortcut to the Normal Bolus screen.
NOTE: When you first use the Audio Bolus feature, you should always look at the screen to confirm correct programming until you are comfortable with using audio feedback to program a bolus. See Chapter 10 in Section I, pages 49–58.
Battery Cap/Vent
This cap unscrews easily with a coin or the battery cap tool to replace and secure your battery. There is an o-ring around the cap, which prevents water from entering. The battery cap also is equipped with a built-in vent to allow air to enter your pump to maintain pressurization but prevent water from entering. Be careful not to over tighten the battery cap. See Chapter 4 in Section I, pages 15–26.
Primary Vent
This vent is part of the redundant vent safety system, which allows air inside your pump to maintain equalized pressure but prevents water from getting inside.

NOTE: Your pump uses battery power to notify you of 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,
I
battery life will be reduced and your pump may skip the Low Battery Warning and go directly to the Replace Battery Alarm, or battery life will end before a Replace Battery Alarm is displayed.
Changing the Battery

Selecting the Infusion Site and Inserting the Infusion Set
Your health care team will review appropriate site selections and techniques for insertion based on your body type. Refer to the Instructions For Use included with your infusion set for proper insertion guidelines.
WARNING: Do Not attempt to insert the infusion set into your body until you have been
trained by your health care team. Improper insertion of your infusion set can lead to death or serious injury.
Changing the Cartridge and Infusion Set
Cartridges and infusion sets require replacement and are not to be reused. Infusion sets should be replaced approximately every 2–3 days or as directed by your health care team. Refer to the insulin labeling and follow the direction of your health care team for frequency of replacing the cartridge.
CAUTION: Occasionally check the infusion set tubing for any damage, air bubbles, leaks or
kinking, which may restrict or stop insulin delivery and result in under infusion.

You can program your pump to display either 1 or 4 basal program options. Basal insulin is delivered continuously to help keep your BG in target between meals. Having more than one pre-set basal program makes it easy for you to switch based on your needs including weekends, weekdays, shiftwork, and menstruation. If you are new to pumping, your health care team may suggest you first become comfortable with one program before using multiple basal programs. The factory default displays one basal program and the temporary basal program. To display multiple basal options, see Chapter 10 in Section I, pages 49–58.

Setting a Basal Program
Each basal program can be set with up to 12 different basal rates (doses) in a 24-hour period. These 12 start times can be set to accommodate your changing basal needs throughout the day. For example, your body may need more insulin in the early morning to compensate for the “dawn phenomenon.” You can program time segments to begin at any hour or half hour.

Setup Advanced Screen 8 – Insulin on Board (IOB) Setting
This feature allows you to program the rate at which your body uses your bolus. Even with rapid-acting insulin, your body takes some time to use your entire bolus insulin. When this feature is activated and you give a bolus, your pump will tell you how much Insulin on Board (IOB) is currently remaining and will calculate a decreased bolus dose as an option. This helps to prevent “stacking” insulin and can help reduce your risk of hypoglycemia*. The duration of insulin action varies from person to person and can vary based on the infusion site you have selected and your activity level, among other factors. Your health care team will give you a recommended duration to program into your pump.

Points to remember about the IOB feature on your pump
A curvilinear algorithm is used, which more closely mimics the way drugs decay in the body versus a
straight line decay.

CAUTION: Using the features in this chapter requires an advanced understanding of insulin
pump therapy and should not be used without training and advice from your health care team.

If you do not wish to use the Audio Bolus feature, this button serves as a shortcut to the Normal Bolus screen. See ezBolus, page 61 in this chapter.
CAUTION: When you first use the Audio Bolus feature, you should always look at the screen
to confirm correct programming until you are comfortable with the feature.

If you cancel a bolus delivery after you’ve activated it, the screen at right will be displayed. See Chapter 13 in Section I, pages 75–84.
NOTE: If during a bolus delivery your low cartridge level is reached, your pump will not display the warning until after the bolus is completed. So you could possibly have less insulin available than your low cartridge setting.
Example: Your low cartridge warning is set to 10 (units). You have 20 units of insulin remaining and you deliver a 15 unit bolus. The Low cartridge warning appears after bolus is completed and you have only 5 units left – not 10 units. The Wake up screen will show the remaining insulin amount.
The maximum number of Audio Bolus button presses is 20. Therefore, if you’ve set the step size to
0.1U, the maximum audio bolus amount is 2U. If you’ve set the step size at 0.5U, the maximum audio bolus amount is 10U and if your step size is 1.0U, the maximum audio bolus amount is 20U. With a
5.0U step size, the maximum cannot be greater than 35U, which is the maximum amount for any type of bolus.

ezCarb
This feature allows you to manually enter the number of carbs eaten, and your pump will automatically calculate your bolus dose, based on the I:C ratio, ISF and BG Target range you have entered for the current time of day. Consult your health care team for your personal I:C ratios, ISFs and BG Target ranges. See Chapter 10 in Section I, pages 49–58.
If the IOB feature is activated, your pump will calculate a reduced amount for high BG correction boluses and for Carb Boluses if you entered a below-target BG value.
When you use your meter remote to deliver an ezCarb Bolus, you may also select the number of carbs eaten directly from a Food Database stored in your meter remote, see Chapter 4 in Section III, pages 187–202. The Food Database is available through an upload to your meter remote from ezManager Software.

Combo Bolus
The Combo Bolus feature is used to give both a Normal and Extended Bolus. This feature is useful for consumption of high fat meals such as pizza, if you will be “grazing” over a few hours or if you have gastroparesis. You can program part of your bolus amount to be delivered immediately and part of it to be delivered slowly over the course of up to 12 hours. Your health care team can help you determine the “split” of Normal to Extended insulin amounts, as well as the duration that is most appropriate for you.
1. From the BOLUS MENU, select “Combo Bolus”. If you used the ezCarb
Bolus option to calculate a bolus and chose to deliver it as a Combo Bolus, you will begin at the Combo Bolus screen in step 2.

Delivery Speed - Bolus
On rare occasions, usually with very large boluses, users may experience a slight stinging sensation with rapid bolus delivery. If this is a concern, you can set the bolus delivery speed to slow to accommodate your needs. If you use the slow setting, your pump will pause approximately 4 seconds in between delivery of each unit of insulin programmed.

Multiple Basal Programs
This feature allows 4 different Basal programs to show on your “Basal Menu” screen. Users find this feature beneficial if their activity level is different during the week than on weekends. Switching work shifts at work is another reason to use multiple basal programs. Some use a different basal program during

Animas
NOTE: If a program other than 1-Weekday is active, you cannot change this setting to display 1 basal program. The Alert screen shown here will pop up to remind you.
IOB
Even with rapid-acting insulin, your body takes some time to use the entire bolus amount. If you have activated this feature, your pump will track the bolus insulin remaining in your system - IOB - and calculate a suggested lower BG correction bolus dose. The lower dose is only recommended if you use the ezBG feature or if you add a BG bolus to an ezCarb bolus. For this feature to give optimal results, you should always use either ezBG or the Add BG feature during ezCarb programming when entering a BG correction bolus.
CAUTION: Your health care team will give you recommendations specific to your plan of

The Vents
Your pump features a redundant Vent Safety System. Vents serve two purposes. First, they allow air to enter and exit your pump so that pressure is equalized under a variety of environmental circumstances, such as changes in altitude. Second, the vents are backed by a special membrane, which keeps water from entering your pump.
Battery Cap with O-ring and Vent
Your battery cap contains an o-ring and vent. There is a tiny hole backed by a membrane, which allows air to pass through but prevents water from entering. The o-ring helps to keep your pump waterproof. It is recommended that you change the battery cap/vent once a year. If you work in a dusty environment such as a construction site, mill, cement factory, etc., or if you are a frequent swimmer, you should change your battery cap every 6 months. You can call Animas

to order an extra battery cap.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you introduce any kind of sharp object into the

Cleaning
CAUTION: Do Not use household or industrial cleaners, chemicals, solvents, bleach,
scouring pads or sharp instruments to clean your pump. Never put your pump in the dishwasher or use very hot water to clean it. Use only a very mild detergent (for example a drop of liquid soap in a glass of water) and a lint-free cloth.
Never put your pump in a microwave oven or baking oven to dry it. Use a soft towel.
Never clean the battery or insulin cartridge compartments.
General Wear and Tear
If you drop your pump or it has been hit against something hard, inspect it to be sure it is still working properly. Check that the display screen is working and clear, that the cartridge cap, battery cap and infusion set are properly in place. Check for leaks around the cartridge by wrapping a piece of tissue around the connection area. Cracks, chips or damage to your pump may impact the battery contact and/or the waterproof feature of your pump. Call our Customer Service representatives at 1-999-999-9999 if you identify or suspect your pump is damaged. They will help determine if your pump should be replaced.

Alerts, Warnings and Alarms
Your pump has a progressive warnings and alarms safety system. This means if you do not confirm the warning or alarm, it will progress to the sweep alarm with vibrate within one hour. At the high volume stage, if you do not confirm the warning or alarm, the sweep alarm will begin and will not stop until appropriate action is taken.
NOTE: Your pump uses battery power to notify you of 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 battery life will end before a Replace Battery Alarm is displayed.
Alerts are automatically displayed to remind you of a function that you’ve set or a condition that exists. Warnings are triggered for a variety of reasons. They require you to confirm the warning by pressing and/or taking action to address the warning. Alarms are triggered by several conditions. All require you to address the alarm by taking appropriate action in order to clear the alarm condition.

It’s a good idea to set up a troubleshooting procedure to use anytime you suspect something might be wrong. Work with your health care team to establish guidelines* in the event of a problem.
Hypoglycemia
14
WARNING: Low blood glucose is a risk for anyone using insulin therapy. You may experience
one or more of the following symptoms:
• Shakiness; rapid heart rate; nervousness; perspiration; cold, clammy skin; weakness; blurred or double vision; sudden hunger; tingling in your hands, lips, or tongue; headache and confusion.
• If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia, you should immediately eat a quick-acting carbohydrate (glucose tablets, juice, or hard candy).
• If your BG is abnormally low, Do Not attempt to program your pump yourself. Get help.
• Treat hypoglycemia immediately
Rule of 15
1. Consume 15 grams of quick-acting carbohydrate
2. Wait 15 minutes
3. Recheck BG
4. If BG is < 70 mg/dL, repeat above

Clock time incorrect
Pump exposed to MRI
* Walsh JA & Roberts R, Pumping Insulin. 2006. San Diego: Torrey Pine Press.
Check times and rates, remember to review basal programs when making any changes.
Reset clock to current time, being careful to check AM & PM.

Troubleshooting hypoglycemia:
FOOD INTAKE
OSSIBLE CAUSE OF LOW BG SUGGESTED SOLUTION
P
Bolus too large
I
Low carbohydrate intake for bolus
Improper timing of bolus
Insulin Pump
®
Alcohol consumption
Animas
Check bolus amounts and times. Bolus only enough to lower your BG to normal level.
Measure carbohydrates accurately. See dietitian for carb counting review. May need recalculation of I:C ratio; consult with health care team.
Match timing of bolus with intake of food. Check BG prior to meal bolus and adjust accordingly.
May cause hypoglycemia. Eat food when drinking alcohol. Be cautious with bedtime bolus. Always check BG before going to bed. Check BG at 3 am. Consult health care team.
ACTIVITY
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF LOW BG SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Did not Suspend pump or activate Temp Basal
Low carbohydrate intake prior to exercise
Unplanned activity (shopping)
Long or intensive exercise
Consult health care team for guidelines for use of Temp Basal rate during exercise.
If not decreasing insulin prior to exercise, may need to eat foods containing carbohydrate prior to exercise.
If BG is <100 mg/dL, eat snack prior to exercise. Frequent BG testing before, during and after any activity.
Effects of exercise can be present for hours after activity has stopped. Consult with health care team for specific guidelines.

HAPTER 14 - T R O U B L ESHOOTING GUIDELINES
C
Preventing hypoglycemia:
Check BG a minimum of four times a day, and more frequently with exercise.
Keep accurate track of carbohydrates in the foods you eat.
Consult your health care professional if you are experiencing frequent hypoglycemia.
If you experience frequent or severe episodes of hypoglycemia, contact your health care team. It may be necessary to adjust your basal rates, bolus doses, or review your BG Target goals, along with your daily regimen of food and exercise. If you have a low BG level (hypoglycemia), follow the routine established for you by your health care team.
It is important to monitor your BG frequently, including periodic checks at 3:00 AM.
Investigate the cause of hypoglycemia.
Hyperglycemia
I
Animas
®
Insulin Pump
Because your pump uses only rapid-acting insulin, you will not have a reserve of long-acting insulin in your body. This means that any interruption in the delivery of insulin by your pump can quickly result in a sharp rise of your BG levels.
Hyperglycemia (high BG) can occur within two to four hours after insulin delivery stops, and DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) can develop within four to ten hours.
Several things can cause a high BG reading. The most common problems and causes of high BG are listed in the following table, as are some suggested solutions.

Avoid this area for site selection.
Avoid waistline and friction areas.
Change infusion set tubing and site.
Disconnect tubing from body. Prime tubing completely.
INSULIN
Remove infusion set and cartridge and discard. Use new insulin vial.
FOOD INTAKE
POSSIBLE CAUSE OF HIGH BG SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Bolus insufficient or omitted
High protein or fat intake
Long meal (holiday), continuous snacking, slowly absorbed food (high fiber), delayed digestion (gastroparesis)
Improper bolus timing
Review carbohydrate counting and I:C ratio settings.
Consult dietitian; may need to count protein and fat.
Consult health care team. May need to use extended bolus or combination bolus option.
Consult health care team.
