Page 8
Chapter 1 Important Information
This User Guide contains information about how to use, program and maintain your new pump. It is important to read it carefully. Even if you are an experienced pumper, keep your User Guide handy for reference. Warnings, cautions and safety tips are found throughout this Guide, indicated by a  symbol.
Warnings
Do not attempt to connect to the pump before you have been trained on the 2020
or unless your Certified 2020 Pump Trainer is present.
Incorrect use of your pump, failure to follow the instructions in this User Guide or
improper/inadequate self-care and troubleshooting techniques can lead to death or serious injury. If you do not understand something or have questions, ask your healthcare team or call our 24/7 Pump Support Department at 1-877-767-7373. (Outside the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, contact your local Animas distributor.)
Your Animas pump is designed to deliver insulin reliably but because the pump
uses only rapid-acting insulin, you will not have long-acting insulin in your body. To avoid the risk of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) or very high blood glucose (BG), you must be prepared to give yourself an injection of insulin if delivery is interrupted for any reason.
1
Your Animas 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.
Emergency Kit
Keep an emergency kit with you at all times to make sure you always have necessary supplies. This kit should include but is not limited to:
• Quick-acting glucose tablets or gel
• Blood glucose monitoring supplies including meter, strips, lancing device, lancets,
meter batteries
• Blood or urine ketone testing supplies
• Rapid-acting insulin and syringe with directions from your healthcare team regarding
how much insulin to take in the event of interruption of pump therapy
• Extra infusion sets and IR 1200/2000 series cartridges
• Dressing and adhesive, if used
• An extra Energizer Lithium L91 AA battery

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.

Amusement Parks
Very powerful electromagnets are sometimes used on “free-fall” amusement park rides. Insulin pumps should be removed and not taken on these “free-fall” types of rides.
High gravity forces can be experienced when riding on some roller-coasters. It is
recommended that you disconnect (NOT suspend) the pump while on roller-coaster rides.
Aircraft without Cabin Pressurization
If flying in aircraft without cabin pressurization or flying in aircraft used for aerobatics or combat simulation (pressurized or not), it is recommended that you disconnect (NOT suspend) the pump.
Precautions
The Animas pump is a sealed device that should be opened ONLY by the manufacturer.
If the pump seal is broken by anyone other than an authorized Animas factory technician, the warranty is voided and the pump is no longer waterproof. If the back label on the pump is removed or damaged, the warranty is voided and the pump is no longer waterproof.
When using an insulin pump, if the pump is placed at a vertically higher position than
the infusion site, a very small amount of additional insulin infusion may occur. To minimize this condition and maintain pump delivery accuracy, the vertical distance between the pump and the infusion site should be no more than 12 inches (30 cm). If the pump is placed at a vertically lower position than the infusion site, this condition is eliminated.
Occasionally check the infusion site for proper placement and leaks. Improperly placed
infusion sites or leaks around the infusion site can result in under infusion.
Occasionally check the infusion set tubing for any damage, leaks or kinks while using
the pump. Damaged, leaking or kinked tubing may restrict or stop insulin delivery and result in under infusion.
Only use Animas 1200/2000 series (200 unit/2ml) cartridges and infusion sets with a
standard Luer™ connector. Efficacy of pump cannot be guaranteed if cartridges other than those manufactured by Animas Corporation are used or if cartridges are used more
than once.
Always dispose of used cartridges and infusion sets following the regulations in your
community. Insulin can be absorbed through the skin. Minimize any contact with insulin and wash hands thoroughly after handling any devices that contain insulin. Failure to follow these guidelines may pose health hazards.
Prior to replacing the battery cap, make sure the o-ring (yellow) fits securely and is not
damaged. See Chapter 5, Getting Your Pump Ready.
Prior to inserting a cartridge into the pump, check the o-rings on the cartridge to be
sure they are not damaged.
Occasionally check the vents to be sure they are clear of debris. See Chapter 13, Care and
Maintenance.
Page 12
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 1­877-767-7373.
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
1
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.
Page 13
1
DO NOT stop using the pump if you are ill. Even when you’re sick, your body still needs
insulin. See Chapter 16, Sick Day Guidelines.
When you begin using the Audio Bolus feature, always look at the screen as you program
so that you are completely comfortable with the feature before delivering a bolus via audio prompts only.
Animas Corporation recommends that you have someone around you (family, friends,
etc.) who understands diabetes and pump therapy, so in the event of an emergency, they can help you. Be sure they are familiar with any information given to you by your healthcare team.
Only your healthcare team can determine your insulin to carbohydrate ratios,
correction factors, blood glucose target ranges and duration of insulin on board.
Basal rates that are too high or too low can adversely affect blood glucose levels.
Work with your healthcare team to fine-tune basal rates.
The way your body uses insulin can be affected by many things. Contact your
healthcare team about lifestyle changes such as starting/stopping your exercise program or significant weight loss/gain. Your basal rates may need to be modified.
The Animas 2020 and accessories include small component pieces that could pose a
choking hazard to small children.
Before Bedtime
To ensure proper delivery, do not change your infusion set just before bedtime or if
you will not be able to test your blood glucose 1 to 2 hours after a new set is placed.
Always check that your cartridge has enough insulin to last through the night before
going to bed. Unless otherwise recommended by your healthcare team, do not use the vibrate feature during sleep. It is recommended that you set the volume to high
for all warnings and alarms before going to sleep.
Always remove all air bubbles from cartridge and tubing before beginning insulin
delivery. Air bubbles can compromise accuracy of delivery. Refer to the Instructions for Use included with your cartridge packaging.
Interference with the pump electronics by cell phones can occur if worn in close
proximity. It is recommended that you wear the pump and cell phone at least 6 inches
apart.
If you return your pump for service and a replacement pump is sent, do not use the replacement pump until all the settings specific to your treatment plan have been programmed.
Page 14
If you drop the 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 the pump may impact the battery contact and/or the waterproof feature of your pump. Call our 24/7 Pump Support Department at 877-767-7373 if you identify or suspect your pump has been damaged. They will help determine if your pump should be replaced. (Outside the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, contact your local Animas distributor.)
The pump is designed to operate in conditions where temperatures are between 40º and
104ºF (5 – 40C). If your pump is exposed to temperatures outside these parameters, extra care should be taken to protect it from extreme temperatures.
Animas insulin pumps and insulin pump cartridges are latex free.
To avoid risk of explosion, do not use the pump in the presence of explosive gases.
Your 2020 pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery life with an
Energizer Lithium L91 AA battery (1.5V). Rechargeable batteries and Carbon-Zinc batteries do not have the necessary characteristics to power the pump and should not be used. Some AA lithium batteries are available with other voltages such as 3.6V or 4.0V. Do not use these batteries. Use of anything other than a 1.5V battery could
permanently damage the pump and voids its warranty.
1
Do not use household cleaners, chemicals, solvents, bleach, scouring pads or sharp
instruments to clean the pump. Never put your pump in the dishwasher or use very hot water to clean it.
Never use a hair dryer, microwave oven or baking oven to dry your pump. Use a soft
towel.

Chapter 4 Introduction to Your 2020 Pump
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, low level (basal) rate, 24 hours a day. You program delivery of a higher level dose (bolus) of insulin to cover food eaten or to correct high blood glucose (BG).
Animas pumps are 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.
Get to Know Your 2020
Main Programming Buttons
There are 3 buttons for main programming functions. The Up and Down buttons allow you to move through screen selections and to scroll up and down to enter values such as a bolus amount. The OK button allows you to select an item or activate a function.

Audio Bolus/ezBolus
This button allows you to program a bolus without looking at the 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. *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 11, Advanced Features, Setup Advanced 1 – Audio Bolus
Feature.
Battery Cap/Vent
This cap unscrews easily with a coin or the battery cap tool to replace and secure your battery. There is a yellow 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 the pump to maintain pressurization but prevent water from entering. Be careful not to over tighten the battery cap. See Chapter 5, Changing the Battery.
Primary Vent
This vent is part of the redundant vent safety system, which allows air inside the pump to maintain equalized pressure but prevents water from getting inside.
Under no circumstances should you introduce
any kind of sharp object into the vent openings to clean them. Doing so will compromise the pump’s waterproof capabilities. If at any time you suspect the vent openings are clogged, replace the battery cap or call Animas for questions about the Primary Vent.
Cartridge Compartment Cap
This cap secures your cartridge and infusion set in the pump.
Never tighten the cartridge cap when your infusion set is attached to your body.
Tightening the cartridge cap while your infusion set is attached to your body may result in unwanted insulin delivery.
IR Window for Download
The IR window is framed in blue. This is the infrared communication window used for downloading your pump data.
Sounds
Your 2020 allows you to customize the volume level or use the vibrate function to notify you of warnings and alarms and to confirm certain deliveries. With ezManager, you can also add tunes to play as your initial audible notification for some Alerts, Reminders, Warnings and Alarms. Refer to your ezManager User Guide included with the software.

Chapter 5 Getting Your Pump Ready
Before proceeding with this chapter, you should have completed your pump start
training and/or watched your training video.
To complete this section, you will need the following items:
• Animas 2020 Insulin Pump
• Energizer Lithium L91 AA battery (1.5V)
• Battery cap tool or coin
• Infusion set with standard Luer connector
• Animas IR 1200/2000 series (200/2ml unit) cartridge
• Alcohol wipe (to clean top of insulin vial)
• Vial of U100 insulin (rapid-acting or regular) at room temperature
• Skin prep such as IV Prep™ (to clean and prepare site for infusion set insertion)
Under no circumstances should you use an alcohol wipe or skin prep such as IV Prep
to clean the pump itself. See Chapter 13, Care and Maintenance.
Battery Insertion
Your 2020 pump is designed to achieve optimum performance and battery longevity with an Energizer Lithium L91 AA battery (1.5V).
It is possible to safely power your 2020 pump with a conventional AA Alkaline battery
(1.5V), but battery life is significantly reduced. Be sure you select the correct Battery Type on the Verify screen when you change the battery to ensure accuracy of battery life indicator.
If you must use an AA Alkaline battery, the following is recommended:
• Energizer E91 (labeled as Energizer MAX)
Rechargeable batteries and Carbon-Zinc batteries do not have the necessary
characteristics to power the pump and must not be used. Use of these batteries voids your pump warranty.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to power your 2020 pump with a high-energy
3.6V AA Lithium battery. Use of these batteries could permanently damage the pump and
voids its warranty.
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., Empty Cartridge 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.

Changing the Battery
Each time you change the battery
• A full rewind and prime sequence is required. See this section, Priming the Pump and
Infusion Set
• The Insulin on Board calculation starts over at zero
• The Combo bolus returns to the factory set default duration and split
• Review your basal program settings
Low Battery Warning means battery life will end in minimum 1 hour.
1. Use a coin or the battery cap tool to unscrew the battery cap with a counter-clockwise motion.
2. Check your battery cap for damage such as cracks or missing threads, and be sure the colored (yellow) o-ring fits securely and is not torn or damaged.
3. Check the vent hole on the top of the battery cap to be sure it is clear of debris. This vent maintains pressurization while preventing water from entering the compartment. The
battery cap should be replaced twice each year or sooner if the o-ring or cap is damaged or the vent is clogged. See Chapter 13, Care and Maintenance.
4. Insert the Energizer Lithium L91 AA (1.5V) battery into the battery compartment with the positive (+) end going in first.
5. Replace the cap by turning clockwise until you cannot see the o-ring but do not over tighten.
6. Each time you change the battery, your 2020 will run a series of self-tests which will last a few seconds. The Animas logo will be displayed briefly. The pump will give a beep to alert you to verify (or change) the time/date, language and battery type.

Daylight Saving Time (certain states and countries only) “Spring Forward”
If you advance the hour on your pump clock after 11pm but before midnight, you must also manually forward the date by one day. If you change your pump clock after midnight, your pump date will have changed automatically to the appropriate date.
“Fall Back” It is recommended that you set your clock back before midnight on Saturday or after 1am on Sunday. This keeps your pump set to the correct date. Your pump will register an
additional hour in the Daily Totals History because the day has essentially been altered to consist of 25 hours. If you change the clock between midnight and 1am, you must also change the date. This will result in a duplicate date entry in your history. (This duplicate entry will contain up to one hour’s worth of insulin delivered.)
Sounds - Setting/Changing
Note that this menu only adjusts sounds. It does not activate the feature. For example, Audio Bolus Sound is adjusted in this menu, but to turn the Audio Bolus feature on, go to the Setup Advanced Menu. See Chapter 11, Advanced Features, Setup Advanced 1 – Audio Bolus Feature.
Your pump comes pre-loaded with a tune for most Alerts, Reminders and Alarms. This tune plays only for the initial audible notification. If you do not confirm the initial notification, the next sound will be the factory default. If not confirmed, Warnings and Alarms will automatically progress to high volume and vibrate within one hour. With ezManager, you can change or add tunes to play as your initial notification for some Alerts, Reminders, Warnings and Alarms. Refer to your ezManager User Guide included with the software.

The Cartridge
Filling the Cartridge
Refer to the Instructions for Use included with your cartridges.
Connecting the Tubing to the Cartridge
These steps must be followed in order. To complete this section, you will need the following:
• Filled Animas IR 1200/2000 series cartridge*
• Infusion set compatible with your 2020**
• Skin prep such as IV Prep™
*Efficacy of pump cannot be guaranteed if cartridges other than those manufactured by
Animas Corporation are used.
**Note: Only infusion sets marketed for use with insulin infusion pumps using insulin­compatible tubing and with a standard Luer lock can be used with Animas pumps. Efficacy of pump cannot be guaranteed if infusion sets other than those specified are used.
Do not connect infusion set to your body until after you have completed the Prime
process.
1. Clean the workspace where you will be connecting the infusion set to the cartridge. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Open sterile infusion set package carefully. If the package is damaged or opened, use another set and contact your supplier.
3. Unscrew the cartridge compartment cap from the pump, using a counter-clockwise motion.
4. Remove infusion set tubing cap from the Luer connector. (Not all infusion sets have these caps.)
5. After removing protective cap, thread the Luer connector of the infusion set through the top (smaller) opening of the cartridge compartment cap, being careful not to touch Luer connector with hands or work surface.

Page 30
6. Remove cap from the filled cartridge tip. To avoid insulin spillage and introduction of air in the cartridge, it should never be filled beyond the 2.0 mL mark. The plunger is properly positioned for maximum fill when the black o-ring nearest the plunger tip is centered on the 2.0 mL mark. Attach infusion set Luer connector to cartridge tip using clockwise motion until finger tight and then twist another quarter of a turn.
Be sure to twist the Luer connector an extra quarter of a turn to ensure a secure
connection.
7. Put cartridge/tubing assembly aside.
Check for leaks, cracks or damage each time you change your cartridge and infusion set. To
avoid leakage, be sure to tighten the Luer connection securely. You can check for moisture periodically by wrapping a tissue around the Luer connection between the cartridge and
infusion set.
When handling the cartridge, take care not to move the plunger from side to side in the
cartridge body. Maintaining straight alignment of the plunger keeps the o-rings properly seated, which minimizes the possibility of introducing air into the cartridge and will
prevent insulin spillage.
Changing the Cartridge
1. Disconnect infusion set from your body.
2. Unscrew the cartridge cap, leaving tubing connected to the cartridge.
3. With the tubing connected to the cartridge, pull cartridge straight out of the pump.
4. Disconnect tubing from cartridge and discard. Proceed with filling the new cartridge as outlined in this chapter.

12. From the ezPrime Menu, Fill Cannula is highlighted. Press the OK button. The Fill Cannula screen is displayed.
13. Use the Up/Down arrows to enter the amount of insulin needed to bolus to fill the cannula. Refer to the Instructions for Use included with your infusion set for details on how much insulin is required to fill the cannula.
Note: The maximum Fill Cannula amount is 1U at a time.
The Fill Cannula step is not required for the pump to operate.
For example, when you prime the pump after a battery change and you are not inserting a new infusion set, this step is not necessary. Filling the cannula when not necessary can result in unwanted delivery of insulin.
If the pump is suspended, the screen will alert you with the ezPrime Pump Suspended screen. You must resume delivery of your pump in order to complete the Priming function.
Selecting the Infusion Site and Inserting the Infusion Set
Your healthcare 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.
Do NOT attempt to insert the infusion set into your body until you have been trained by
your diabetes educator. 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 healthcare team. Refer to the insulin labeling and follow the direction of your healthcare team for frequency of replacing the cartridge.
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.

Chapter 7 Using Basal Program Features
You can program your 2020 to display either 1 or 4 basal program options. Basal insulin is delivered continuously to help keep your blood glucose in target between meals. Having more than one pre-set basal program makes it easy for you to switch based on your weekday needs versus weekend needs, or to accommodate for shift work and menstruation. If you are new to pumping, your healthcare 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 11, Advanced Features.
You can use your computer and ezManager software to upload basal program names as well as basal rates. Outside the US, check with your local Animas distributor for information on ezManager software and the IR Accessory Kit. For instructions on uploading basal program information, refer to the ezManager User Guide included with the software.
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.
Note: The Up/Down buttons will move the cursor through fields when not in Edit mode. When in Edit mode, the Up/Down buttons will change the value of the field. If the cursor is flashing, that means you can edit the entry. Use the OK button to start/stop Edit mode.

Setup Advanced 8 – Insulin on Board Setting
Even with rapid-acting insulin, your body takes some time to use your entire bolus. This feature allows you to program the rate at which your body uses your bolus. 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 healthcare team will give you a recommended duration to program into your 2020.
11
This feature is intended for use only with U100 rapid-acting insulin analogs such as
Novolog®, Humalog® or Apidra®. If you use an insulin other than Novolog, Humalog or Apidra®, do not use this feature. Use of any insulin with lesser or
greater concentration can result in serious injury or death.
This screen allows you to:
• Turn the IOB feature on or off
• Select the duration
1. Use the Up/Down arrows to scroll to the desired field.
2. Press OK to change to flashing cursor for Edit mode.
3. Use the Up/Down arrows to change to desired setting.
4. Press OK when setting is made.
To move to the next Setup Advanced screen, scroll to the bottom of the screen and highlight Next. Press OK.
To return to the Home screen, scroll to Home and press OK.
Note: The pump is constantly tracking insulin on board, so when you turn on the feature, the pump will immediately take into account the current amount remaining from previous bolus doses within the time frame you’ve selected during set up of the feature.

Points to remember about Animas’ IOB feature on the 2020
• A curvilinear algorithm is used, which more closely mimics the way drugs decay in
the body versus a straight line decay
• With BG below target, IOB amount is displayed and is subtracted from carb bolus
• With BG within target, IOB amount is displayed for reference but not subtracted
from bolus total
• With BG above target, IOB amount is displayed and is subtracted from BG bolus
Setup Advanced 9 – Sick Day Guidelines
During your pump training, your diabetes educator will discuss guidelines to use when you’re sick. This is a convenient way to store your basic sick day guidelines as recommended by your healthcare team. For more information on sick day guidelines, refer to Chapter 16, Sick Day Guidelines, and contact your healthcare team.
This screen allows you to:
• Set a BG limit as a reminder for testing when sick
• Set the frequency of checking for ketones when sick
• Set the frequency of checking your BG when sick
To move to the next Setup Advanced screen, scroll to the bottom of the screen and highlight Next. Press OK.

Chapter 12 Using Advanced Features
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 healthcare team. In order to achieve optimal results, some of these features should only be used once you have tested and fine-tuned your basal rates and your healthcare team has determined your individual targets and ratios.
Note: Before using these features, you must turn them on in the Setup Advanced Menu. See Chapter 11.
Audio Bolus and ezBolus
The Audio Bolus feature of the 2020 allows you to bolus without looking at the screen display. This is convenient if you wear your pump under your clothing. When first using the audio bolus feature, also check the display screen until you are comfortable with the programming steps. If you do not wish to use the Audio Bolus feature, this button serves as a shortcut to the Normal Bolus screen. See next section, ezBolus.
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.
1. Turn on Audio Bolus in the Setup Advanced menu and select your preferred step size.
See Chapter 11, Advanced Features.
2. The Audio Bolus button is a soft rubber button on the end of the pump. Press it once. The pump will beep (or vibrate) to indicate you’ve accessed Audio Bolus mode as well as
indicate the step size you’ve set up.
The number of beeps (or vibrate pulses) reminds you of the step size you’ve set.
• 1 indicates 0.1 U step size
• 2 indicates 0.5 U step size
• 3 indicates 1.0 U step size
• 4 indicates 5.0 U step size
3. Press the audio bolus button once for each step size you’ve programmed to reach the desired total amount. For example, if you are using 1.0 U step size and you wish to bolus 4 units, press the button 4 times. You will hear a beep tone for each button press. If you are using 0.5 U step size and you wish to bolus 4 units, press the button 8 times.
4. Within 5 seconds, the pump will respond with a number of confirmation beeps equal to the number of times you pressed the audio bolus button.
Note: Do NOT press any of the function buttons at this time unless you wish to cancel delivery.
Page 63
12
5. Within 5 seconds, the pump will beep twice to “ask” you to confirm that you wish to activate delivery and the Confirm screen is displayed.
6. Within 5 seconds, press the button again to activate delivery. The pump will beep twice to confirm your delivery command. The Delivering Bolus screen is displayed and your pump will beep once to signal the start of delivery and once to signal end of delivery (if you turned on Normal Bolus Sounds in Setup).
If you wish to cancel the Audio Bolus, press any button. The bolus will be canceled (as
in the case of a Normal bolus).
If you cancel a bolus delivery after you’ve activated it, the screen at right will be displayed.
If during a bolus delivery, your low cartridge level is reached,
the 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 0.1 U, the maximum audio bolus amount is 2 U. If you’ve set the step size at
0.5 U, the maximum audio bolus amount is 10 U and if your step size is 1.0 U, the
maximum audio bolus amount is 20 U. With a 5.0 U step size, the maximum cannot be greater than 35 U, which is the maximum amount for any type of bolus.
Page 64
ezBolus
If you do not have your Audio Bolus feature turned on, the button on the end of the pump will function as a short cut to the Normal Bolus screen.
1. Press the button on the end once. The Normal Bolus screen is displayed. Program a Normal Bolus as usual.

ezBG
This feature allows you to enter your BG reading and your 2020 will calculate a correction bolus based on the Insulin Sensitivity Factor and BG Target Range for the current time of day. If the Insulin on Board (IOB) feature is activated, your 2020 will calculate a reduced dose for high BG correction boluses that you can review.
1. From the Bolus Menu, select ezBG. Press the OK button.
2. The Actual field will be highlighted and flashing to indicate Edit mode. Use the Up/Down arrows to enter your actual BG reading. Press the OK button to confirm the entry and exit Edit mode.
3. Check to be sure the Target BG amount and Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) are correct. Your healthcare team will give you these values. If you need to edit these fields, scroll up to highlight the field and press OK to activate Edit mode. Use Up/Down arrows to change target. Press OK to confirm and to exit Edit mode.
4. Show Result is highlighted. Press OK.
Page 72
5. The ezBG Total screen is displayed with a suggested bolus amount. The bolus amount field is highlighted and flashing to indicate you can enter the total amount as shown or adjust as needed. Enter your bolus amount. Press OK to deliver.
Note: If Insulin on Board (IOB) feature is activated, your 2020 will calculate a reduced BG
Bolus amount for your review.
Note: If you enter a BG amount below 70 mg/dL or above 250 mg/dL, your pump will alert you that you’ve entered an out of range BG. To Confirm the Alert, press OK. Treat the out of range BG as recommended by your healthcare team.

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 healthcare 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.
2. Use the Up/Down arrows to enter the TOTAL bolus amount. Press OK. Go is highlighted. The factory default setting for Duration is 30 minutes, and the ratio is 0% Normal and 100% Extended. If these settings are appropriate, press OK to deliver.
3. To change either the Duration or Ratio, scroll up to the desired field and press OK to activate Edit mode.
4. Use the Up/Down arrows to change settings. As you change the Ratio by percentage, the amount in units is automatically changed. You cannot change the ratio by units, only by
percentage.
5. When settings are correct, press OK to confirm and exit Edit Mode.
Note: Your 2020 is “smart”; it will remember your last duration and the ratio (as percentages) you programmed. So if you use the same duration and ratio for certain types of meals, you need only change the total bolus amount the next time you use this feature. However, the last programmed Combo Bolus settings will be cleared each time you change the battery.
Page 74
6. Scroll to Go and press OK to activate. The Home screen shows Combo Bolus active.
To cancel an active Combo Bolus from the Bolus Menu, select Combo. Details of the active Combo Bolus will be displayed.
Scroll to Cancel and press OK to cancel the Combo Bolus.
Note: If you Suspend the pump, any active Combo Bolus will also be canceled and the screen display will alert you. Combo Bolus is also canceled when you change the battery and/or prime.
Reminders
This feature allows you to set personal reminders. You can set two bolus reminders for times of day and one reminder to check BG at a certain time after a bolus. Confirm the Reminder by pressing OK. Once you’ve confirmed the Reminder, you will not be alerted again.

Bolus Reminders
1. From the Bolus Menu, select Reminders. Press OK.
2. Reminder 1 field will be highlighted with a flashing cursor to indicate Edit mode. Use the Up/Down arrows to turn on or off. Press OK to confirm and exit Edit mode.
3. The Time field for this reminder will be highlighted. Press OK to activate Edit mode. Use the Up/Down arrows to enter the time you wish a reminder to sound (or vibrate, if that is the setting you selected in the Setup Sound Menu). Press OK to confirm your setting and exit Edit mode.
4. Repeat for the Reminder 2.
Page 75

BG Check Reminder
1. From the Reminders Menu, select BG Check. Press OK to activate Edit mode to turn this reminder on or off. Press OK to confirm and exit Edit mode.
2. Scroll down to highlight the After Bolus field. Press OK to select the field and activate Edit mode. Use the Up/Down arrows to enter how long after a Normal Bolus you wish the pump to sound (or vibrate) to remind you to check your BG. You can select 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours after you give a bolus.
When this feature is turned on, the pump will display the BG reminder screen immediately following a Normal Bolus. You can change the Reminder time or opt not to be reminded by entering 0. For example, if you have given a bolus in the evening you may not wish the Reminder to sound while you are sleeping. If the Reminder is not acknowledged, battery life will be reduced and the Replace Battery Alarm will appear sooner than expected.
3. When finished setting reminders, scroll to Main Menu to display the Main Menu.
When you enter a time, the pump will sound a reminder after any Normal Bolus is
programmed, including the Normal portion of a Combo Bolus. If you program an Extended Bolus only, the reminder will not sound.
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 menstruation.
Page 76
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.
Insulin on Board
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 - Insulin on Board (IOB) - and calculate a suggested lower 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 correction bolus.
Your healthcare team will give you recommendations specific to
your plan of treatment.
In the examples shown here, IOB amount is subtracted from the Bolus Total screen and the ezBG Total screen.
When you replace the battery, the IOB amount is cleared.
Note: The pump constantly tracks insulin on board. If you’ve given a bolus before turning on the feature, the pump will show the remaining amount from that bolus as IOB immediately.
Sick Day Guidelines
To review your basic sick day guidelines, refer to this screen. For more information on sick day guidelines, refer to Chapter 16, Sick Day Guidelines, and contact your healthcare team.
1. From the Setup Menu, select Advanced.
2. Scroll to Setup Advanced screen 9.

Chapter 13 Care and Maintenance
The Vents
Your 2020 features a redundant Vent Safety System. Vents serve two purposes. First, they allow air to pass through the 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 the pump.
Battery Cap with O-ring and Vent
Your battery cap contains a yellow 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 twice 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 3 months. You can call Animas to order an extra.
Under no circumstances should you introduce any kind of sharp object into the vent
openings to clean them. Doing so could compromise the pump’s waterproof capabilities. If at any time you suspect the vent opening is clogged, replace the
battery cap.
Cleaning
Do not use household or industrial cleaners, chemicals, solvents, bleach, scouring pads or
sharp instruments to clean the 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.
General Wear and Tear
If you drop the 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 the pump may impact the battery contact and/or the waterproof feature of your pump. Call our 24/7 Pump Support Department at 877-767-7373 if you identify or suspect your pump is damaged. They will help determine if your pump should be replaced. (Outside the US & Canada, contact your local Animas distributor.)

Chapter 14 Safety System and Alarms
Alerts, Warnings and Alarms
Your Animas 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 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., Empty Cartridge 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.
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 OK 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.

Chapter 15 Troubleshooting Guidelines
It’s a good idea to set up a troubleshooting procedure to use anytime you suspect something might be wrong. Work with your healthcare team to establish guidelines in the event of a problem.
Hypoglycemia
Low blood sugar 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 the pump yourself. Get help.
Treat Hypoglycemia immediately!
Rule of 15
Consume 15 grams of quick-acting carbohydrate
Wait 15 minutes
Recheck BG
If BG is < 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), repeat above
Troubleshooting hypoglycemia:
Possible Cause of Low BG Suggested Solution INSULIN PUMP
Basal rate programmed incorrectly
Clock time incorrect Reset clock to current time, being careful to check AM & PM.
Pump exposed to MRI
FOOD INTAKE
Bolus too large Check bolus amounts and times. Bolus only enough to lower your BG to normal level.
Low carbohydrate intake for bolus Measure carbohydrates accurately. See dietitian for carb counting review.
Improper timing of bolus Match timing of bolus with intake of food. Check BG prior to meal bolus and adjust accordingly.
Alcohol consumption 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 healthcare team.
Check times and rates, remember to review basal programs when making any changes.
Disconnect from pump. Call Pump Support 1-877-767-7373. (Outside the US, Canada & Puerto Rico, contact your local Animas distributor.)
Do not be aggressive with 2-3 hour after meal BG correction boluses unless you are ill.
May need recalculation of Insulin to Carbohydrate ratio (I:C); consult with healthcare team.
Page 87
15
Possible Cause of Low BG Suggested Solution ACTIVITY
Did not Suspend pump or activate Temp Basal Low carbohydrate intake prior to exercise
Unplanned activity (shopping) If BG is <100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L), eat snack prior to exercise. Frequent BG testing before, during and after any activity.
Long or intensive exercise
SMBG (Self-monitoring of BG)
Infrequent BG testing
Check BG at 3 am weekly after rates have been set. History of unconsciousness or
severe hypoglycemia History of hypoglycemic unawareness Insulin-sensitive May need to adjust sensitivity factor. Consult healthcare team.
May need to adjust BG target range. Consult healthcare team.
If you experience frequent or severe episodes of hypoglycemia, contact your healthcare team. It may be necessary to adjust your basal rates, or review your target glucose goals, along with your daily regimen of food and exercise. If you have a low blood glucose level (hypoglycemia), follow the routine established for you by your healthcare team.
• It is important to monitor your blood glucose frequently, including periodic checks
at 3:00 AM.
• Investigate the cause of hypoglycemia.
Hyperglycemia
Because the insulin 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 blood glucose levels.
Consult healthcare team for guidelines for use of Temp Basal rate during exercise. If not decreasing insulin prior to exercise, must eat foods containing carbohydrate prior to exercise.
Effects of exercise can be present for hours after activity has stopped. May need to decrease basal rate 1 - 2 hours prior to activity. Consult with healthcare team for specific guidelines.
Check BG minimum of 4 times a day; more often if BG goals are not met.
May need to adjust BG target range. Consult healthcare team.
May need to adjust BG target range. Consult healthcare team.
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) can occur within two to four hours after insulin delivery stops, and DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) can develop within four to ten hours.
Page 88
15
Several things can cause a high BG reading. The most common problems and causes of high blood glucose are listed in the following table, as are some suggested solutions.
Possible Cause of High BG Suggested Solution INFUSION SET
Redness, irritation, inflammation, swelling, discharge or discomfort
Bump or nodule at infusion site Change infusion set and rotate sites. Avoid this area for site selection. Scar tissue Avoid this area for site selection. Catheter inserted in area of friction Kink in tubing/catheter Change infusion set tubing and site.
INFUSION SET
Infusion set not primed (air in tubing)
INSULIN
Cloudy, clumpy, expired or insulin exposed to extreme temperatures Use new insulin vial.
Using Regular insulin
FOOD INTAKE
Bolus insufficient or omitted Review carbohydrate counting and I:C ratio settings. High protein or fat intake Consult dietitian; may need to count protein and fat. Long meal (holiday), continuous snacking, slowly absorbed food (high fiber), delayed digestion (gastroparesis) Improper bolus timing Consult healthcare team.
ACTIVITY
Less activity Use Temp Basal increase. Consult healthcare team. Overuse of Temp Basal reduction Record amount of time for changes. Frequent BG testing to document changes. BG > 250 with ketones before
exercise
Change infusion set tubing and site. Contact healthcare team.
Avoid waistline and friction areas.
Disconnect tubing from body. Prime tubing completely.
Remove infusion set and cartridge and discard.
Consult healthcare team. May need to use alternate insulin as prescribed by your physician.
Consult healthcare team. May need to use extended bolus or combination bolus option.
BG will increase with exercise when ketones are present.
Do not exercise when ketones are present. Consult healthcare team for exercise guidelines.
Infusion set should be changed every 2 to 3 days or as recommended by your
healthcare team.
Always use clean technique!
Notify healthcare team with signs or symptoms of infection!
Page 89
15
SMBG (Self-monitoring of BG)
Insufficient BG testing Check more often when BG is elevated. Rebound high BG after low BG (Somogyi Effect) Elevated fasting BG May need to adjust basal rate. Consult healthcare team. Insulin sensitivity factor not correct or not used
OTHER
Medications (steroids, terbutaline, other hormone treatments)
Infection, illness, virus Refer to Sick Day Management Guidelines.
Check 3 am BG. May need to adjust basal rate during night. Consult healthcare team.
Consult healthcare team for possible recalculation of sensitivity factor.
Inform physician of all medication changes or additions.
Pre-menstrual cycle
Pregnancy
Weight changes
Consult your healthcare team before making any changes in your basal rates, bolus
Consult healthcare team. May need to use Temp Basal or set additional Basal Program.
Insulin requirements may increase in later trimesters. Consult healthcare team. May need recalculation of basal or bolus doses. Consult healthcare team.
ratios or correction factor.
When in doubt, change it out!
1. Follow guidelines provided by your healthcare team.
2. Change infusion set.
3. Check for ketones.
4. Take rapid-acting insulin by injection.
Problems with Infusion Sets and Sites
A number of problems can occur with infusion sets and sites, the most common of which are listed in the following table, along with some suggested solutions.
Infusion Sets and Sites Suggested Solution
Always fill your pump cartridge with room temperature insulin. Check Luer lock connection and tubing; change infusion set if
Air bubbles in tubing
Kinked tubing Straighten tubing if needed; replace infusion set if needed.
Dislodged needle or cannula
Blood in tubing (insulin looks pink or red)
needed. If using a disconnect set, remove the set from your infusion site and prime the bubbles out. Check that cartridge plunger is straight and the cartridge is not filled with more than
2.0 mL of insulin.
Change infusion set and site. Consider using different tape, dressing or infusion set. A cannula cannot be pushed back into skin successfully. Change infusion set and site. Check needle/cannula angle at new infusion site.
Page 90
Infusion Sets and Sites Suggested Solution
Check Luer lock connection by wrapping a tissue around it to
Insulin leak
Redness, tenderness, lumps, itching, warmth, discharge Cartridge Reused
check for moisture; tighten or change cartridge and infusion set if needed. Check that cartridge is not filled with more than 2.0 mL of insulin. Change infusion set and site; use clean technique. Treat old site for infection if necessary. Consult healthcare team.
Do not reuse cartridge. Cartridge is for single use only.
15
DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) Hyperglycemia can lead to DKA. If your BG is above 250 mg/dL (13.5 mmol/L), check blood or urine ketones per your healthcare team. Remember, the first signs of DKA are often nausea and vomiting. Also remember that because you no longer have long-acting insulin in your system, DKA can develop quickly if you ignore and/or fail to troubleshoot potential problems.

Chapter 16 Sick Day Guidelines
During periods of short-term illness, it may be more difficult to maintain good control of your diabetes. Examples of minor illness are: dental surgery, colds, nausea/vomiting, sore throat, mild infections, diarrhea, fever. However, you should call your healthcare team if:
• Illness persists without improvement for 24-48 hours.
• Temperature rises above 100° Fahrenheit or 38° Celsius.
• Vomiting or diarrhea continues longer than 4 hours.
• There are moderate to large amounts of ketones in urine.
• BG levels continue to run less than 60 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L) or above 250 mg/dL
(13.5 mmol/L) {above 130 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) during pregnancy} after taking extra bolus doses as prearranged by your healthcare team.
• You show signs of ketoacidosis, dehydration or other serious problems such as:
increased drowsiness, abdominal or chest pain, difficulty breathing, fruity odor to the breath, dry cracked lips, mouth or tongue.
• Any uncertainty as to what to do to take care of yourself.
Never omit your insulin! If you are ill and cannot eat, your need for insulin continues and may also increase.
• Continue your usual basal dose of insulin along with bolus insulin to cover food
eaten or to correct high blood glucose as prearranged with your healthcare team.
• You may need to temporarily increase or decrease your basal rate by using the Temp
Basal feature as prearranged with your healthcare team.
Medication
Always let your healthcare team know ALL medications you are taking.
Blood and Urine Testing
• Check your BG before your usual mealtime and every 2-4 hours if indicated.
Test your blood or urine for ketones at least 4 times a day, or according to
instructions from your healthcare team.
Fluids and Diet
Always follow your healthcare team’s sick day guidelines. Fluid intake is essential with
any illness. You may need to drink 8 ounces of calorie-free liquid every 60 minutes. Examples of calorie-free items are: water, tea without sugar, instant broth, sugar-free drinks OR eat ice chips, sugar-free Popsicles®, sugar-free gelatin, etc. If vomiting, start fluids 1 to 2 hours after vomiting and sip slowly. Increase the frequency of BG testing to every 2 to 4 hours as long as BG is elevated. If BG is over 250, check for ketones every 4 hours until negative results are obtained.

Chapter 17 Lifestyle Issues
Exercise and Sports
There are many options for wearing your pump during exercise and sports activities. During “low-contact” sport activities, such as walking, biking or aerobics, the pump can be clipped to the waistband, or for added security, placed in a “sport case.” During “contact” sports such as baseball, basketball or hockey, the pump can be disconnected for up to one hour. Always follow your healthcare team’s individual guidelines when disconnecting your pump because you may need to compensate for missed basal insulin. Before and after you disconnect for any length of time, remember to check your blood glucose levels.
Swimming
Your 2020 is tested for immersion in water to a depth of 12 feet for 24 hours under normal swimming conditions. You should not wear your pump while scuba diving or when using high diving boards.
Your pump should not be taken into hot tubs, as the extreme temperature can adversely affect insulin quality.
If your pump has been dropped, examine it carefully for cracks or signs of damage. If the back label of the pump is not securely affixed or if you suspect your pump may have been damaged or otherwise had its waterproof integrity compromised, do not use in water. Call our 24/7 Pump Support Department at 1-877-767-7373. (Outside the US & Canada, call your local Animas distributor.)
Traveling
With an insulin pump, traveling becomes less complicated and more enjoyable. However, traveling still requires preparation. Remember to order your pump supplies in advance and pack the following items:
• A letter from your physician that explains the necessity of carrying insulin supplies
and wearing an insulin pump
• A prescription for insulin, both rapid-acting for your pump and the type
recommended by your healthcare team in case you need to take insulin by injection (Remember, the pump is designed and calibrated to use U100 concentration insulin only. Use of any insulin with lesser or greater concentration can result in serious injury or death.)
• Emergency supplies listed in Chapter 1
• Accessible snacks
• Bottled water to prevent dehydration while flying. (Remember to check your blood
glucose frequently to distinguish between high blood sugar dehydration and normal flight dehydration.)
• The name of a referral physician at your final destination in case of an emergency

Traveling, continued:
• Pack your insulin carefully so that it is not exposed to extreme temperatures or
temperature changes
• Pack your pump supplies in carry-on luggage when traveling by air or train. Do not
pack your supplies in checked luggage. Contact the Federal Aviation Administration (or your country equivalent) or your local airport security office before traveling by air to obtain prescription/medical supply carry-on regulations
• Adjust your pump’s clock when crossing time zones
• Insulin pumps will rarely set off airport metal detectors, so there is no need to
remove your pump when passing through airport security. However, as airport security technology becomes more sophisticated, it is possible that an insulin pump will set off the detector.
For more information on traveling with insulin pumps, visit the American Diabetes Association (ADA) website (www.diabetes.org) or call your local airport for security guidelines that may apply.
Intimacy
The Animas pump need not interfere with intimacy. You can disconnect most infusion sets. Always follow your healthcare team’s guidelines when disconnecting from your pump. You may need to compensate for missed basal insulin. Also, before and after you disconnect for any length of time, remember to check your blood glucose levels.
