Welcome and Congratulations
You have begun a new way of life with your Animas 2020 insulin pump.
Your choice of pump therapy is a sign that you are committed to taking excellent care of
yourself. The 2020 pump has been specially designed to help you manage your diabetes,
using advanced technology and sophisticated safety systems.
Your pump is used for insulin therapy to help maintain your blood glucose targets as
recommended by your healthcare team. You program it to deliver two ways: a continuous,
24 hour “basal” rate and “bolus” insulin deliveries to accommodate for immediate doses to
cover foods eaten and high blood glucose. It is important to remember that successful
pump therapy is a partnership of advanced technology and responsible self-care.
Your pump is covered by a limited warranty for 4 years. Some circumstances that void the
warranty are:
•If the pump is taken apart by anyone other than an authorized Animas factory
technician
•Use of any battery other than those specified in Chapter 5 of this User Guide
Please take a moment to look at the back of your pump and write down the serial number.
My pump serial number is: ___________________
Serial Number (S/N)
2006-12

Blood Glucose is abbreviated throughout this User Guide with BG.

Page 9
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.
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
•An extra pump battery cap
•An extra pump cartridge cap (In the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, call 877-937-7867
to order an extra cartridge cap. All other customers contact your local Animas
distributor.)
•Glucagon Emergency Kit
•Emergency contact phone numbers
Be sure to inform a family member, co-worker and/or friend where this emergency kit is
kept.

Indications for Use
The Animas 2020 insulin infusion pump is intended to provide subcutaneous delivery of
insulin at programmable basal and bolus rates for the daily management of diabetes mellitus
in insulin dependent patients.
Contraindications
The pump is not indicated for anyone unable or unwilling to:
•Test BG levels at least 4 – 6 times per day or as recommended by healthcare team
•Demonstrate adequate carbohydrate counting skills
•Maintain good diabetes self-care skills
•See his/her healthcare team regularly
Adequate vision or hearing is required to recognize the pump alerts.
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.
Medical Procedures
Procedure Patient is Pumper Healthcare Professional/Technician is

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.
1

Page 13
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 1-
877-767-7373.
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
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.
1

Page 14
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.
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.
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.
1

Page 15
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.
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.
