Error E3: AUTOMATIC OFF

Automatic off is a safety feature that stops insulin delivery and triggers an
error E3: AUTOMATIC OFF if no keys are pressed within a programmed time
period in RUN mode.

1. Press

f twice to turn off and to confirm the error.

2. Put your pump in RUN mode.

Error E4: OCCLUSION

Insulin (a maximum of 3.5 units of U100 insulin) was not delivered. This may
be due to:

• a blocked infusion set,
• a reused cartridge, or
• a dirty or damaged piston rod.

Note:

The display of this error depends on several factors including your current
hourly basal rate and boluses. For example, a blocked infusion set with
a basal rate of 2.0 U/h (U100 insulin and no additional boluses) would
trigger an error E4: OCCLUSION in approximately three hours or less,
depending on the type and severity of the blockage.

!

If an error E4: OCCLUSION occurs, immediately check your
blood glucose level, and check again in about 2 hours,
because insulin delivery has been interrupted. If your blood
glucose level is high, take appropriate actions according to
your doctor’s or healthcare team’s instructions.
