iLet® Bionic Pancreas System User Guide

Product catalog summary
Overview: The iLet® Bionic Pancreas System User Guide provides detailed instructions for the operation, setup, and maintenance of the iLet Bionic Pancreas System, an insulin delivery system designed for individuals with type 1 diabetes aged 6 years and older. It includes the iLet ACE Pump, iLet Dosing Decision Software, and compatible continuous glucose monitors (iCGMs).
Specifications and Components: The system is intended for single-person use and requires a prescription. It is compatible with specific rapid-acting U-100 insulin analogs. Key components include the iLet Device, iLet Cartridge, iLet Connect, and iLet Charge.
Setup and Usage: Users must read the guide thoroughly and undergo training before use. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the system, entering user-specific data, and managing insulin delivery, emphasizing collaboration with healthcare providers.
Safety Information: The guide includes warnings about the risks of improper use, potential for incorrect insulin delivery, and the need to avoid certain medical procedures like MRI scans. It stresses the importance of monitoring blood glucose levels and responding to system alerts.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Instructions for maintaining the system, including cleaning and verifying functionality, are provided. The guide also covers troubleshooting common issues and emphasizes having an emergency kit available.
Clinical Performance and Trials: The guide references clinical trials, including the Bionic Pancreas Pivotal Trial, to support the system's efficacy and safety.
Technical Information: Detailed technical specifications for the iLet Device, CGM Sensor, and CGM Transmitter are included, along with information on dosing decision software and delivery accuracy.
Warranty and Legal Notices: The guide outlines the warranty terms for the iLet Device and its components and includes legal notices regarding patent protection.
Warnings and Precautions: The iLet System may need to be removed during certain medical procedures. It is safe to use during EKGs and colonoscopies. The device should not be opened or repaired by users. Only use manufacturer-specified accessories to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Temperature and Water Exposure: Avoid exposing the iLet Device to extreme temperatures and water to prevent insulin degradation and device damage.
Potential Risks: System failures could lead to severe health issues. Accidental touchscreen presses can cause unintended insulin delivery, so using the Limited Access feature is recommended.
CGM and Sensor Warnings: CGM sensors should not be used in unapproved sites. The iLet System should not be used with hydroxyurea or high vitamin C intake, as they can affect sensor readings.
Charging and Safety Instructions: Handle charging components with care to prevent damage or risk of fire. The iLet Device's battery is non-replaceable and should be charged daily.
Touchscreen Usage: The touchscreen can be navigated using taps, presses, and drags. It features a high contrast LCD with a backlight for dark environments.
Home Screen and Notifications: The home screen displays icons for menu access, insulin cartridge status, notifications, glucose status, meal announcements, and blood glucose checks.
Glucose Monitoring: Glucose trend arrows indicate the rate of glucose change, and the status displays current CGM glucose values.
Settings Menu: Settings allow adjustments to therapy, including CGM targets and body weight, which should be done with healthcare provider guidance.
Insulin Infusion Sets: Information on the last insulin infusion set change can be accessed by tapping the Infusion Sets option.
Algorithm Steps: This section provides details on the current Insulin On Board and the data used for insulin delivery calculations.
Automated Insulin Delivery: The iLet Device automatically regulates glucose levels after entering body weight. It adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on CGM readings.
Maintaining the iLet System: Proper maintenance is crucial to avoid hyperglycemia and DKA. Replace the insulin cartridge, iLet connect, and tubing every three days or when empty.
Replacing CGM Sensors: Replace sensors according to manufacturer instructions. Monitor glucose levels manually during sensor warmup periods.
CGM Accuracy, Calibration, and Replacement: CGMs measure glucose levels in interstitial fluid, which may differ from blood glucose levels. Calibration is attempted by entering a blood glucose value into the iLet.
Mobile Device Integration: The iLet Mobile App allows pairing with smartphones for updates and data uploads.
Managing Highs and Lows: The iLet system adjusts insulin delivery based on CGM data but requires user intervention for extreme glucose levels.
Meal Announcements: The iLet System requires meal announcements as "Breakfast," "Lunch," or "Dinner," with carb content estimates.
Exercise: Disconnecting from the iLet Device during exercise may require carbohydrate intake adjustments.
Pause Insulin: Insulin delivery can be paused when disconnected from the iLet infusion set to prevent waste.
Illnesses: Significant CGM fluctuations or inability to eat for more than a day should be reported to a healthcare provider.
Responding to Alerts: The iLet Device issues alerts for various conditions, with different priority levels requiring different responses.
Dexcom G6 Transmitter Alerts: Alerts include CGM Battery Low, Pair a New Transmitter, and Transmitter Not Found.
