Warnings
Only use AAA alkaline batteries (LR03) with your YpsoPump®. Make sure the battery is not damaged. A damaged battery
could result in a short circuit. If a different type of battery (e.g. a lithium battery or an NiMH rechargeable battery) or a
damaged battery is inserted, there is no guarantee that the insulin pump will be put into operation or operate properly;
the advance warning time up to the “Battery empty” alarm cannot be maintained when a battery is discharged. This can
lead to failure of the preset insulin delivery, which can cause hyperglycemia (read warning in the box on page 5). Make sure
to always carry a replacement battery with you.
Always monitor the self-test attentively and carefully. If you are uncertain whether the self-test has been performed
correctly, repeat the self-test. If errors occur during the self-test (incomplete display, no vibration signal or audible signal),
you must not use the YpsoPump® as potential warnings and alarms on the insulin pump can no longer be displayed
and indicated properly. In such a case, contact Customer Service immediately. You nd the contact details on the back
of this Quick Start Guide.
Take special care when setting the time of day. If a wrong time of day is set, the timing of the basal rate prole could
be shifted. Only make changes to your settings after consulting your doctor or diabetes advisor. Incorrect programming
of the insulin pump can lead to incorrect dosages of insulin, which can cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
(read warning in the box on page 5).
The instructions for use in this Quick Start Guide are only valid for the following YpsoPump®article:
REF 700013408.
You nd the reference number of your YpsoPump® on your device and on the label of your Starter Kit.

5
If you suspect you may have hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, check your blood glucose more frequently for
the next few hours, as recommended by your doctor or diabetes advisor, and adapt the insulin delivery
settings to the changed conditions. If you are uncertain, contact your doctor or diabetes advisor immediately.
Check your blood glucose as often as your doctor or diabetes advisor recommends. If you do not check
your blood glucose regularly, blood glucose uctuations will not be detected and you will not be able to adapt
the insulin dosage of the pump (e.g. bolus amount).

3 Putting into operation
Inserting a battery
1/11: Insert a new AAA alkaline battery (LR03). Make sure
the negative pole of the battery is inserted rst. On the
back of the insulin pump you will see a picture showing
how to insert the battery.
2/11: Lock the battery compartment by turning the
groove of the battery compartment lid clockwise until it
is completely closed using the edge of a coin.
You must replace the battery compartment lid with a new one every three months. Otherwise the seal
between the battery compartment lid and the battery compartment may no longer be intact.

10
Self-test
4/11: In addition to the YpsoPump®
logo, the serial number of the insulin
pump and the software version are
displayed at the top left. Conrm the
start of the self-test by tapping . The
YpsoPump® now performs a self-test.
3/11: As soon as the battery has
been inserted, the welcome screen
appears and remains until the insulin
pump starts the self-test.
The self-test is used to check the
operability of the YpsoPump® and
to give the user visual, tactile
and audible feedback. A self-test is
performed when putting the insulin
pump into operation for the rst time,
after having started up the insulin
pump from storage status and after
the threaded rod has been returned.

11
5/11: Three test patterns appear on
the screen one after the other. The
3 × 3 test rectangles must be dis-
played in full with uniform brightness.
6/11: Then the YpsoPump® emits two
vibration signals (tactile signals).

12
7/11: The tactile signals are followed
by two audible signals.
8/11: The self-test is completed. You
can repeat the self-test by swiping
to the right. Conrm the successful
completion of the self-test by
tapping .
If the self-test is not conrmed within
5 minutes after having started up the
insulin pump from storage status or
after the threaded rod has been
returned, the insulin pump indicates
this with tactile and audible warnings.
If the screen is now switched on
using the function button, the start
self-test screen appears again
(Fig. 4/11). Complete the self-test
and conrm.

13
Setting the time of day
9/11: The screen for setting the time
of day appears. Set the current time
of day (hours, minutes) by selecting
the desired value. Conrm the values
set by tapping .

14
You can adjust the time of day and the date at any time in the settings
menu. If you select an impossible date (e.g. 2017-02-30), the conrma-
tion icon will be inactive (gray) and you cannot conrm the date.
10/11: After setting the time of day,
set the current date (year, month,
day). Conrm your setting by
tapping .
Setting the date
11/11: The status screen appears.
The insulin pump is in stop mode.

4 Switching on and unlocking the screen
2/6: The YpsoPump® has a screen
lock. It is visualized by a padlock icon
at the top right of the screen, next to
the battery charge indicator.
If the YpsoPump®is not operated on the status screen, the screen switches off after 20 seconds and the
screen lock is activated. If the YpsoPump® is not operated in the main menu or in a submenu, the screen
switches off after two minutes and the screen lock is activated. Any changes that have not been saved, are
lost.
1/6: The status screen of the
YpsoPump® is switched on and off
by pressing the function button
(short button press).
3/6: Swipe to the left to unlock the
status screen and the main menu.
Three icons appear numbered 1, 2
and 3 (unlock screen).

16
4/6: Tap the currently active number
successively to unlock the status
screen. If the three numbers on the
unlock screen are not entered in the
correct sequence within 10 seconds,
you return to the locked status
screen. Swipe to the right to return to
the locked status screen.
6/6: Swipe to the right to access
the unlocked status screen (no
padlock icon).
5/6: When the YpsoPump® has been
unlocked successfully, you are in
the main menu. Swipe to the left to
access all available menu items.
Make sure you switch off the screen before storing the YpsoPump®in your trouser pocket or in a carrying
system in order to avoid unintentional operation of the pump.

5 Basal rate
Programming basal rate prole A
The basal rate is a basic amount of
insulin that is administered continuously
in order to keep the blood glucose
level within the target range. You have
the option of programming two
different basal rate proles (A and B).
If only one basal rate prole is needed,
prole B has to be programmed in the
same way as basal rate prole A.
1/8: Open the main menu and tap the
“Basal rates” icon.
2/8: Tap the “Basal rate prole A”
icon.
The following values are displayed on the screen of your YpsoPump
®
and mentioned in this Quick Start Guide
using the following abbreviations:
U = insulin units
h = hours
d = day

18
3/8: The screen to set the basal rate
for the rst hour appears, starting at
midnight (00 – 01 h). When putting into
operation for the rst time (when
programming a basal rate prole for the
rst time), an hourly value, which is
set and conrmed, is applied to the
next hour as a starting value.
4/8: Select the value specied for you
by your doctor, between 0.00 U/h and
40.0 U/h, and conrm by tapping .
After each conrmation of an hourly
value, you automatically move to the
next hour. The minimum programmable
basal rate greater than 0.00 U/h is
0.05 U/h. The basal rate values
between 0.05 U/h and 1.00 U/h can
be set in increments of 0.01 U/h. The
basal rate values between 1.00 U/h
and 2.00 U/h can be set in increments
of 0.02 U/h. The basal rate values
between 2.00 U/h and 15.0 U/h can
be set in increments of 0.1 U/h. The
basal rate values between 15.0 U/h
and 40.0 U/h can be set in increments
of 0.5 U/h.
5/8: By swiping to the right you can
step back one hour at any time and
adjust your previous entry.

19
7/8: When all values have been en-
tered, the YpsoPump® shows you the
basal rate daily dose on a chart and
as a value. The basal rate values can
be changed by swiping to the right
until you reach the segment you want
to correct. Conrm by tapping .
The YpsoPump® vibrates briey. The
values are saved and one event
per basal rate value is written to the
therapy data.
6/8: Repeat step 4/8 for each indivi d-
ual hour segment until you have
entered all 24 basal rate values.
8/8: The status screen appears.
The YpsoPump® is in stop mode.
The difference between run
mode and stop mode is explained
on page 30.

20
The daily total dose of the programmed basal rate prole is displayed
in the basal rate submenu on the corresponding basal rate icon.
Always program both basal rate profiles (A and B) in accordance with the recommendations from your doctor or
diabetes advisor. If only one basal rate profile is needed, the second one has to be programmed in the same
way as the first one. By doing so, the basal rate will continue without any interruption should you unintentionally
switch the basal rate profile. Without programming a profile, your basal rate value is set to 0 and your insulin
pump will not deliver any basal insulin.
