Answers to Common Questions About Pivot™

Pivot™ Insulin Delivery System is intended for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. Your Pivot™ System consists of an Inserter, Pump, Cartridge, Patch, and the Pivot™ Diabetes App. The Pivot™ Diabetes App operates on your smartphone device and connects to the Pump via Bluetooth® connection to support basal rate programming and viewing activity information. The Pivot™ System can be filled with up to 3.0mL (300 units) of Humalog® U-100 rapid acting insulin and can be worn continuously for three days. Your Healthcare Provider will help you to manage your insulin dosing regimen and prescribe insulin. The Pivot™ System can be used by persons with diabetes to manage insulin therapy independently. The Pivot™ System is capable of delivering insulin at set and variable rates via a selectable basal rate between 0.5 – 4 units per hour (in 0.1-unit increments) and user-selected bolus doses of between 2 and 20 units (in 2-unit increments).

Pivot™ Insulin Delivery System is indicated for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin, for individuals 18 years of age and greater.

The Pivot™ Insulin Delivery System is compatible with Humalog® U-100 rapid acting insulin or its generic equivalent Lispro U-100.

Your Pivot Insulin Delivery System aims to simplify diabetes management. The Pivot System offers a user-selected Basal Rate Schedule for all-day insulin therapy, on demand Bolus dosing for correcting glucose levels, and Basal Suspend to temporarily stop insulin flow.

Your basal rate schedule and bolus increment are programmed via the Pivot™ Diabetes app using rates determined by you and your Healthcare Provider.

Your Pump has a single button to initiate priming, control insulin delivery, and check your Pivot System status. Your Pivot System uses lights and tones to make you aware of the Pivot System status, delivery mode, and Alarms.

You can check your Pivot System status during use with a quick press of the Control Button.

The Insulin Pump STARTER KIT contains: Pump (90-day use life), Inserter (2-year use life), Quick Start Guide, User Guide, Patient Medical Device card, 10 Cartridges and 10 patches in sealed trays, and 10 needles and syringes.

The supply kit contains the disposable components and accessories with a 3-day use life, this includes 5 cartridges, 5 Patches, and 5 syringes & needles.

The Pump has a single button to initiate priming, control insulin delivery, and check the Pivot™ System status. The Pivot™ System uses lights and tones to make users aware of the Pivot™ System status, delivery mode, and Alarms. The user can check the Pivot™ System status during use with a quick press of the Control Button.

The operating temperature for the pump is 41.0°F to 98.6°F (5°C to 37 °C). The Pump temperature equilibrates from 60.8°F to 98.6°F (16°C - 37°C) when worn on the body.

If the system is being used outside of the temperature limits the system will deliver an Low or High Temperature Alarm. Note: Low Temperature is a resumable alarm and insulin delivery can resume after.

The System should not be used outside of the altitude limits of -1,300ft to 10,000ft. (1060 hPa - 700 hPa). If the system is being used outside of the altitude limits, the system will deliver an Extreme Altitude Alarm.

If you need to stop using your Pump for an extended period, follow these storage guidelines to help ensure the system remains safe and functional.

Preparing for medical procedures such as MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, and/surgeries.

Participating in common daily activities, like swimming, bathing/showering, or contact sports.
‍

Yes. The Pivot system is MR (Magnetic Resonance) unsafe. The device presents a projectile hazard.

WARNING: The Pivot System cannot be used inside or in proximity to an MRI machine.

It is important to remove your Pivot System before using a sauna or jacuzzi, or while swimming, bathing, showering, or during contact sports. Your Pivot System is only protected against minor splashing (i.e., IP24 rating). Use of the Pivot System in these scenarios could lead to moderate hyperglycemia or Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).

Choosing where you place your infusion site is important. The infusion site should be at least two inches away from your navel or previous infusion site and must be four inches away from a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) sensor site.

The Patch must be launched into:

Fatty tissue on the abdomen

The upper thigh area

The back of the arm

CAUTIONS: Avoid areas with scarring, tattoos, moles, lipodystrophy, and areas that may get bumped or constricted such as the beltline or waistline. Placing your Pivot System incorrectly could lead to moderate hyperglycemia, or Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Always use a new infusion site that is at least 2 inches away from the previous infusion site. Using the same infusion site repeatedly may lead to infusion site infection, lipodystrophies, moderate hyperglycemia, or Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Contact your Healthcare Provider if you have symptoms of an infection at your infusion site.

1. Before setting up, wash your hands.

2. Choose the appropriate site location to attach your system.

3. Remove excess hair as required.

4. Clean the site with a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe.

5. Allow the site to dry.

CAUTION: Do not place the device on broken skin. Before use, ensure your infusion site is clean. Failure to clean the site appropriately may lead to an infusion site infection or a delay in insulin therapy.

Using your fingers, create a wide pinch around your selected site and gently squeeze your skin for at least 5 seconds. When you are ready to insert the Patch, let go of the pinch and place the Inserter against your skin. Press the Launch Button firmly until a "click" is heard. Remove the Inserter from your skin.

WARNING: Every time you change your Cartridge, you must use a different infusion site and replace the Patch. Not doing so can lead to infection, moderate or severe hyperglycemia, or
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).

Your Pivot System does not require cleaning or maintenance.

If you would like to clean the outside of your Pump, ensure the Cartridge is fully attached and use a moistened cloth with water and a mild detergent to clean, then gently dry. Never submerge your Pump in any liquid or expose it to heat in an attempt to dry your Pump.

If you would like to clean the outside of your Inserter, use a moistened cloth with water and mild detergent to clean, then gently dry. Never submerge your Inserter in any liquid or expose it to heat in an attempt to dry your Inserter.

If this is your first time setting up your Pivot System, you must program your Basal Rate Schedule using the Pivot™ Diabetes App.

Set your Basal Rate Schedule in the Pivot Diabetes App by choosing the SINGLE RATE OPTION or a TWO-RATE OPTION.

The SINGLE RATE option will deliver insulin 24 hours per day at your chosen basal rate.

The TWO-RATE option will require two basal insulin delivery rates. You will choose the start time for both Day and Night. The time can be adjusted in 15-minute increments.

The Day rate will end when the Night rate is set to begin. For example, if you set your Nighttime rate to begin at 8:00 PM, your Daytime rate will automatically end at 8:00 PM, and the Nighttime rate will then begin.

Select “Confirm Treatment Settings” and provide user authentication such as Face ID or passcode.

(*) A flashing green light on your Pump indicates the request was received.

(*) Quickly press and release the Control Button to confirm your Basal Schedule.

(*) A flashing white light and three tones indicates that your schedule is set.

WARNING: It is not possible to change the configuration of the Pivot System while it is dispensing insulin. All changes to your Basal Rate Schedule must be done while your Pivot System is in Basal Suspend mode or is starting up after changing the Cartridge. This prevents the risk of accidental Basal Rate Schedule changes that could lead to moderate or severe hypoglycemia, moderate or severe hyperglycemia, or Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).

Set your bolus increment level in 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 unit increments. Each press of the Control Button on the Pump while setting up a bolus will deliver this amount of insulin.

Select “Next”. Then select "Confirm Treatment Settings" and provide user authentication such as Face ID or passcode. A flashing green light on your Pump indicates the request was received. Quickly press and release the Control Button to confirm your Treatment Settings. A flashing white light and three tones means that your schedule is set.

Basal Delivery Mode is the default mode of your System and delivers a continuous flow of basal insulin.
This mode automatically begins when your System has completed setup and priming.

Basal Delivery can be set at a rate of your choosing, between 0.5 - 4.0 units per hour, in 0.1 unit per hour increments. A single basal rate or two basal rates can be programmed in a 24-hour period.

While using your Pivot System, you can check the Pivot System status anytime with a quick press of the Control Button. A solid GREEN light and 3 consistent tones indicate Basal Delivery is active.

You will also see Basal Delivery status at the top of your Pivot™ Diabetes appDashboard. To view your current settings, scroll down to the Treatment Settings section.

Bolus Delivery Mode is used to deliver a specific quantity of bolus insulin during mealtimes or to correct high blood glucose levels.

Decide the number of insulin units you would like to deliver. Each press of the Control Button on the Pump equals the number of units you programmed in the app as the bolus increment.

Know your dose and find your presses in the table. Max dose is 20 units or 10 presses. Use the table to find the number of presses for your increment. Hold the control button until you see a blue light and hear a beep, then release. Once the blue light appears, quick press the button until you reach your dose. Each press adds one increment and gives one blue flash and beep to help you count.
‍

All values in units (U). The table ends at maximum presses or units for that increment.

Example:

(*) 1 press = 2 units

(*) 5 presses = 10 units

(*) 10 presses = 20 units (Maximum bolus is 20 units)

While using your Pivot System, you can check the Pivot System status anytime with a quick press of the Control Button.

A BLUE light on the Pump and 3 ascending tones indicates that you are currently in Bolus Delivery Mode.

You can verify bolus delivery on your Pivot™ Diabetes app in the status bar that says “Bolus Delivery Active” on your dashboard. You will also see “Bolus Delivery Started” when you scroll down to the Pump Activity section.

Check that you are currently in Bolus Delivery Mode by making a quick press on the Control Button. Look for a blue light on the Pump and listen for three ascending tones to indicate that you are currently in Bolus Delivery Mode.

Press and hold the Control Button until you see a green light and hear a single tone, then immediately release the button.

A solid green light and three tones indicate that the System has returned to Basal Delivery Mode.

Basal Suspend Mode is an additional mode available to temporarily pause the delivery of basal insulin.

You may pause your Basal insulin delivery for up to 2 hours. You can do so by entering Basal Suspend Mode.

Press and hold the Control Button until you see a WHITE light and hear a single tone , then immediately release the button.

You will observe a blue light and tone before it turns to white.

When you see a solid white light and hear three descending tones, that means your Pivot System has suspended insulin delivery.

Insulin delivery will automatically resume after the 2 hour suspend has ended.

CAUTION: Delivery remains suspended for 2 hours.

NOTE: Basal delivery may not be suspended while the Pump is in Bolus Delivery Mode. The user must first CANCEL the bolus, then they may suspend basal delivery.

To verify suspend, open the Pivot™ Diabetes App Dashboard and check for “InsulinDelivery Suspended” at the top and the recent Pump Activity log.

You can resume insulin delivery at any time by repeating the long press, or delivery willautomatically resume after 2 hours.

Press and hold the Control Button until you see a white light and hear a single tone, thenimmediately release the button.

When you see a solid green light and hear three consistent tones, that means your PivotSystem has resumed Basal Delivery.
