Inserting a battery and turning the pump on…

1) Using the supplied DANA battery key – open the battery compartment.2) Install a new DANA lithium battery.3) Place the battery cap back onto the pump and tighten firmly.

Once the battery is correctly inserted, the pump turns on automatically and performs “self-checks” to make sure all the systems are working properly.

  1. Open
  2. Battery Cap With O-ring

1. Use the battery key to open the battery cap by turning counter-clockwise.2. Insert the battery with terminals facing down.3. Tighten the battery cap, using the battery key, until it is firm and flush with the top of the pump.

When changing the battery – clean the inside thread of the pump and the O-ring

Loading an Insulin Reservoir

Preparation – things to get ready before starting

  • Analog Insulin (room temperature)
  • DANA Reservoir (3ml)
  • DANA Easy Setter / Auto Setter
  • Linking Screw
  • DANA Infusion Set and Alcohol Swab (if required)
  • DANA Insulin Pump
Procedure
  1. Remove the round cap at the bottom (back) end of the Insulin Reservoir and discard.
  2. Remove the thin white plastic cap from within the reservoir (place aside for using once full of insulin).
  3. Holding the reservoir plunger barrel firmly – attach the linking screw, ensure that it fits firmly and the teeth are aligned and engaged.
  4. Push the linking screw (and barrel of the reservoir) to the top – ready to fill with insulin. This process ensures that the double O-ring is moving freely and will not cause an occlusion within the pump.
  5. Remove the needle protective cap and insert into the 3ml vial of room temperature insulin.
  6. Using the needle protective cap – push the insulin plunger down so that the insulin is slowly pushed into the DANA 3ml reservoir. Draw the last bit out by pulling on the linking screw and barrel.
  7. Place the clear needle protective cover back onto the needle. Gently tap the reservoir with your finger in order to make the air bubbles rise to the top of the reservoir. And push the plunger up gently to remove the air bubbles from the reservoir.
  8. Twist and pull to remove the needle from the reservoir and use the small white plastic stopper put aside earlier to seal the top of the reservoir.
  9. Insert the reservoir into the Auto Setter. (the reservoir will protrude from the top of the Auto Setter)
  10. Press the button on the Auto Setter. The reservoir will wind down, continue pressing the button for a further 3 seconds. Then retrieve the adjusted reservoir from the DANA Auto Setter.
  11. Remove the reservoir from Auto Setter. (Be gentle and do not move the plunger or adjust the linking screw).
  12. Insert the reservoir into the pump and screw the reservoir cap down tightly.
  13. Input the volume of insulin by refill sub menu and then select the prime option from within the refill menu and attach the new Infusion set tube to the pump. Start the prime…
  14. Stop or suspend the prime when the tube is full of insulin and there are no air bubbles visible in the tube. Using the (-) key will pause the prime. (5cm of insulin tube = 1 unit insulin)
  15. If using a Teflon (plastic) cannula select the prime cannula menu, this fills the empty needle within the cannula after it has been inserted and after the tubing has been connected.

Priming of new infusion set tube is very important – it displaces air within the tube with insulin ready for infusion. If this is not properly completed it is likely that the pump will not deliver insulin as accurately as expected. Ensure that during PRIME insulin can be seen moving through the tube and that a puddle/droplet of insulin is displaced from the end of the infusion set tubing.

Flying with an Insulin Pump

  1. Refill the pump before flight.a. Ensure there is no air in reservoir.b. Only load enough insulin for 1 or 2 days (preferably only about 1ml).
  2. Upon aircraft take off – disconnect pump for ½ hour or until cruising altitude is reached.
  3. Prior to aircraft decent – disconnect pump and prime the tubing once landed before reconnecting.
  4. Always carry plenty of supplies and spare insulin.
  5. In the event of a mid-air emergency and if the oxygen masks fall – disconnect the pump. Reconnect after departed from the aircraft or when normal cabin pressure is achieved.
  6. Take a medical certificate advising use of an Insulin Pump.
  7. Ensure to test BG levels frequently – especially during long haul flights.
  8. On all flights carry non-liquid hypo treatment in accessible carryon luggage.
  9. Get comprehensive travel insurance and ensure that it covers diabetes and wearing an Insulin Pump and make sure it is named/listed on the policy.
  10. Change the pump time to destination time once at cruising altitude – Complete this for each separate flight with successive long haul flights.
  11. Take at least one spare glucose meter, batteries and test strips. Change the time on the glucose meter at the same time as pump.
  12. Before departure, enquire about how to get supplies from each destination travelling to. If necessary, ensure someone back at home knows exactly what supplies and medication is required and make arrangements so they can freight extra supplies if required.
DANA Pump Battery

Ok – so here is some battery advice that I trust helps all people with DANA insulin pumps. All batteries when manufactured are subjected to a long dirty process. This process often involves close contact with highly toxic and corrosive chemicals. For this reason specific tooling is often covered with wax and/or grease to prevent deterioration. IMO some of this ends up on the battery. Therefore wipe a new battery clean using an alcohol swab. Also within the DANA lithium batteries – they have a passivation film – which separates the chemicals within the battery. This prevents any loss of energy whilst in storage. This passivation film gets stronger the longer from manufacture. When first loading a new battery, the DANA pump startup procedure draws a high current across the battery, to purposefully break the passivation film. Unfortunately sometimes this just doesn’t complete the process perfectly, so the battery appears to be depleted in a short time. Within the IFU instructions suggest checking that a new battery displays 100% following the first bolus? If it does not remove and reinsert 2-3 times. This often achieves the purpose of breaking the passivation film and will ensure the batteries last as expected.
