8.2 Displayed warnings The YpsoPump has a safety system that constantly monitors all functions. If there is a deviation from the defined ® operating status, the insulin pump triggers a warning or an alarm, depending on the situation. You will find a description of the alarms on page 160.
Cartridge level low The “Cartridge level low” warning is triggered if the programmed basal rate (including the temporary basal rate function) for the next 12 hours, together with the remaining amount of any bolus in progress, is greater than or equal to the remaining contents of the cartridge.
Battery charge level low If the “Battery charge level low” warning appears, the YpsoPump can still be operated for at least two days. Confirm by ® tapping and insert a new AAA alkaline battery (LR03) as soon as possible. Follow the procedure on page 140.
Threaded rod return not completed The “Threaded rod return not completed” warning appears if it has not yet been possible to perform the threaded rod return function properly. The warning can occur on account of dirt (sand, dried insulin, etc.) in the cartridge compartment or generally if the drive has a mechanical fault.
Priming not completed The “Priming not completed” warning appears if: the drive is fully extended (cartridge empty) without a plunger having been detected. the priming procedure is canceled by the user during plunger detection. the priming procedure is canceled by an alarm. the force on the plunger holder decreases during the priming procedure, for example because the cartridge has been removed or a wrong cartridge has been inserted.
Bolus canceled The “Bolus canceled” warning appears if a bolus is canceled prematurely. Premature cancelation happens if there is an alarm or if the insulin pump is put into stop mode. Confirm by tapping If your bolus in progress is canceled prematurely, you can obtain the actual duration and the insulin amount delivered by referring to the therapy data or to the last bolus screen.
Temporary basal rate function completed or canceled The “Temporary basal rate function completed or canceled” warning appears if the temporary basal rate function has been completed or if it is canceled prematurely. Premature cancelation happens if there is an alarm or if the insulin pump is put into stop mode. Confirm by tapping If your temporary basal rate function is canceled prematurely, you can obtain the actual duration and the percentage setting by referring to the therapy data.

8.3 Alarms The YpsoPump has a safety system that constantly monitors all functions. If there is a deviation from the defined ® operating status, the insulin pump triggers an alarm, depending on the situation. You will find a description of the warnings on page 151.
Page 161
Alarms given are primarily tactile and audible and there are 4 escalation levels. The levels escalate at intervals of 5 minutes. If an alarm is confirmed but not dealt with, it is given again by audible and tactile means after 30 minutes. An electronic error is the exception.
No battery The “No battery” alarm appears if you remove the alkaline battery from the battery compartment for more than 5 minutes when the insulin pump is in run mode. Confirm by tapping and insert a new AAA alkaline battery (LR03). Follow the procedure on page 140.
Battery empty The “Battery empty” alarm appears if the battery no longer has sufficient power and has to be changed. Confirm by tapping and insert a new AAA alkaline battery (LR03). Follow the procedure on page 140.
Battery not suitable The “Battery not suitable” alarm appears if you insert a battery whose voltage is too high. Confirm by tapping Remove the unsuitable battery from the battery compartment and insert a new AAA alkaline battery (LR03). Follow the procedure on page 140.
Charge internal rechargeable battery The “Charge internal rechargeable battery” alarm appears if the internal rechargeable battery of the YpsoPump is depleted ® on account of a high load. All the insulin deliveries in progress are canceled: boluses, temporary basal rate and basal rate.
Occlusion The “Occlusion” alarm appears if the infusion path is blocked (e.g. adapter, infusion set, cannula). Confirm by tapping and disconnect the infusion set from your body. Then perform the following actions:...
Page 167
Change the infusion set in accordance with the procedure on page 94. Prime the tubing with the priming volume specified for the tubing according to the instructions for use of your YpsoPump Orbit infusion set. ® ® If priming of the new infusion set can be completed without an occlusion alarm, therapy can be continued.
No insulin The “No insulin” alarm appears if after a threaded rod return no priming procedure is performed within 5 minutes or if the priming procedure failed. The “No insulin” alarm only appears if the insulin pump is in run mode. Confirm by tapping .
Cartridge empty The “Cartridge empty” alarm appears if the cartridge contains 0.0 U insulin. Confirm by tapping Change the cartridge in accordance with the procedure on page 95.
