1 Introduction
1.1 Before you begin
Check with your healthcare provider regarding your individual training needs.
Do NOT attempt to use the A7 TouchCare® System before you have been
properly trained.
As part of your training, your healthcare provider will work with you to
establish diabetes management guidelines and settings that best fit your
needs. Your healthcare provider can provide you with the initial settings of
your insulin Pump and CGM system. After adequate training and practice, you
will find it easy to enter and change the system’s settings.
The A7 TouchCare® Pump is designed to use U-100 insulin. The following
insulin analogs have been tested and found to be safe for use with the A7
TouchCare® Pump:
Humalog®, NovoLog®, and Apidra®.
Before using different insulin with this Pump, check the insulin label to make
sure it can be used with your Pump. Use of any insulin with lesser or greater
concentration can result in serious injury or death. Your Pump is not intended
to deliver any other substance.
The A7 TouchCare® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System
incorporates a Glucose Sensor and a Transmitter. The Glucose Sensor
measures the glucose level of interstitial fluid. The Transmitter wirelessly
transmits your real-time Sensor glucose information to your Personal Diabetes
Manager (PDM).

Not all devices or accessories are available in all countries where the A7
TouchCare® System is approved. To order supplies, contact your local
representatives.
1.2 Indications
The A7 TouchCare® System is indicated for use in people (ages 2 and older)
with diabetes. The system is intended for single patient use and should be
used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
The Patch Pump is indicated for the continuous subcutaneous delivery of
insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in
persons requiring insulin.
The CGM System is indicated for continuous monitoring of interstitial fluid
glucose levels, and detecting possible low and high glucose episodes.
Interpretation of the CGM System results should be based on the glucose
trends and several sequential readings.
1.3 Contraindications
The A7 TouchCare® System is not recommended for people who are unwilling
or unable to:
Maintain contact with their healthcare provider.
Test their blood glucose levels as recommended by their healthcare
provider.
Maintain sufficient diabetes self-care skills.
Recognize and respond to alerts and alarms. (Sufficient vision and/or
hearing are required.)

1.4 User Safety
1.4.1 Warnings and Precautions
General
Make sure that you have read and are familiar with the User Guide before
using the A7 TouchCare® System. Failure to follow the instructions may result
in pain or injury and may also affect the system’s performance. If you do not
understand something or have questions, ask your healthcare provider, call
customer support, or contact your local Medtrum distributor.
The A7 TouchCare® System has many different settings and features. It is best
to talk with your healthcare provider to determine which settings and features
are right for you. Some features require great knowledge of insulin pumping
and advanced self-care skills. Do NOT use the A7 TouchCare® System until you
have specific information for your treatment plan and have had specific
training on each feature from your healthcare provider or local Medtrum
distributor.
No modification of this system is allowed.
Do NOT use the A7 TouchCare® System if you have delicate skin or if you are
allergic to acrylic adhesives.
Do NOT use anything other than the accessories specified in this User Guide,
which could permanently damage your system and voids its warranty.
Do NOT allow young children to hold the Reservoir Patch, Pump Base,
Transmitter or Sensor without adult supervision. The Reservoir Patch, Pump
Base, Transmitter and Sensor contain small parts and could pose a choking
hazard.

Do NOT operate your A7 TouchCare® System in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or explosive gases.
The A7 TouchCare® System includes active medical devices. When you dispose
of any device in the A7 TouchCare® System, follow the local waste disposal
regulations.
We recommend that you have someone around you (family, friends, etc.) who
understands diabetes and the A7 TouchCare® System, so that in case of an
emergency, they can help you. Make sure they are familiar with any
information given by your healthcare provider.
Patch Pump
In case the A7 TouchCare® System is unable to properly deliver insulin you
must be prepared to give yourself an injection of insulin. Knowing how to do
this will help to avoid the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or very high blood
glucose (BG).
Contact your healthcare provider about lifestyle changes such as
starting/stopping your exercise program or significant weight loss/gain
because this can affect the way that your body uses insulin.
Do NOT stop using your Pump if you are ill unless instructed to do so by your
healthcare provider. Even when you are ill, your body still needs insulin.
If failure or damage of your Pump Base is found during usage, please contact
customer support or your local Medtrum distributor for replacement.
CGM System
Do NOT ignore symptoms of high or low glucose. If you believe your Sensor
glucose readings are inconsistent with how you feel, manually measure your
blood glucose with a blood glucose meter. If the problem continues, discard
the old Sensor and insert a new one.

The Sensor may create special needs regarding your medical conditions or
medications. Please discuss these conditions and medications with your
healthcare provider before using the Sensor.
If failure or damage of your Transmitter is found during usage, please contact
customer support or your local Medtrum distributor for replacement.
If you suspect your Sensor is broken during usage, do NOT attempt to remove
it yourself. Contact your healthcare provider for assistance in removing the
Sensor.
Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM)
Check your PDM occasionally to make sure that it emits audible beeps that are
easily detectable and that the vibrate feature is working properly.
If you return your PDM for service, a replacement PDM will be sent. Do NOT
use the replacement PDM until it has been programmed to fit your specific
needs.
If you drop your PDM or if it has been hit against something hard, inspect it to
be sure it is still
Check whether the display screen and the touch screen are working properly,
whether the PDM can be charged normally. Call customer support or your local
Medtrum distributor if you identify or suspect your PDM has been damaged.
Your PDM is designed to be charged by matching charger. Use of anything
other than a charger that does not match could permanently damage your
PDM and voids its warranty.
Operating Temperature Range
Your A7 TouchCare® System is designed to operate between 5°C (41°F) and
40°C (104°F). Do NOT expose the system to temperatures outside that range.
Do NOT expose the system to direct sunlight for a long period of time.

Cleaning
Do NOT use household cleaners, chemicals, solvents, bleach, scouring pads or
sharp instruments to clean your PDM, Pump Base, or Transmitter. Never put
your PDM, Pump Base or Transmitter in the dishwasher or use very hot water
to clean it.
Do NOT use a hair dryer, microwave oven, or conventional oven to dry your
PDM, Pump Base, or Transmitter. Use a soft towel.
Do NOT clean any part of the system while it is in use.
X-rays, MRIs and CT Scans
The A7 TouchCare® System may be affected by strong radiation or magnetic
fields. If you are going to have an X-ray, MRI, CT scan or other type of exposure
to radiation, remove your Patch Pump and Glucose Sensing System, and put
them outside the treatment area with your PDM. Change the Reservoir Patch
and Sensor after the test or procedure is completed.
The A7 TouchCare® System is designed to tolerate common electromagnetic
and electrostatic fields, including airport security systems and mobile phones.
1.4.2 Consumables
Reservoir Patch—The Pump Base (MD-JN-012) is only used with the
200-unit Medtrum Reservoir Patch (MD-JN-011). Change your Reservoir
Patch every 2-3 days or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Glucose Sensor—The Transmitter (MD-TY-012) is used with the Medtrum
Glucose Sensor (MD-JY-006/JY-016). Change your JY-006 Glucose Sensor
every seven days or change your JY-016 Glucose Sensor every fourteen days.
Warning: For your protection the Pump Base and Transmitter have undergone

extensive testing to confirm appropriate operation when used with
consumables manufactured or distributed by Medtrum. We recommend using
Medtrum Reservoir Patches and Glucose Sensors as we cannot guarantee
appropriate operation if the system is used with consumables offered by
third-parties and therefore we are not responsible for any injury or
malfunctioning of the system that may occur in association with such use.
1.4.3 Radio Frequency (RF) Communication
Note: The A7 TouchCare® System can generate, use, and radiate radio
frequency energy, and may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. There are no guarantees that interference will not occur in a
installation. If the A7 TouchCare® System does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, you are encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
• Move or relocate the A7 TouchCare® System.
• Increase the distance between the A7 TouchCare® System and the other
device that is emitting/receiving interference.
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency
band used by the A7 TouchCare® System may prevent communication
between the PDM and your Patch Pump or Transmitter. This interference,
however, does not cause any incorrect data to be sent and does not cause any
harm to your device.
RF communication between your Patch Pump and PDM works up to a distance
of 4 meters (13 feet). RF communication between your Transmitter and PDM
works up to a distance of 10 meters (33 feet).
