Great to hear that things are going so well.
However, I feel that it is my duty to remind you that as a UK pumper you are connected to a potentially hazardous machine,and to remind you to ensure that you follow to the letter the following regulations as set out in Sections A to D subsections 42-103 of the UK Insulin Pump (licencing) Act.
1. Ensure that you complete your 12 page Health and Safety Assessment. This can be carried out online. Submission must be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of £100
2. If you are planning to travel on a public highway, you must obtain the appropriate tax disc for your pump (to minimize the carbon footprint, the fee varies with TDD - consult your V5 registration document for details). Note you should display the tax disc in a clearly visible place within 10 cm of your infusion site.
3. When operating your pump you must display the appropriate warning notice. This comprises a flashing amber sign bearing the words "DANGER - PUMP - KEEP CLEAR!!" Note also that you should sound the appropriate Klaxon warning when closer than 400 metres from a School Zone.
Remember, for the sake of the environment, please recycle your insulin and dispose of any used infusion sets responsibly. |
