Well I did it. The side touch bolus broke off after I ate a choc. egg on easter i guess that was a sign not to eat anything else with sugar.

| |  Touch Bolus - Cozmo
My touch bolus button broke off about a year ago. They sent the replacement button shortly thereafter, but I never put it on. I have only used the touch bolus maybe twice in my two plus years of pumping. I like the combination boluses, and you can't do that with the touch button.

| | | The touch-bolus button should be replaced if it falls off: If you look inside the opening that the button sits in, you'll notice a rubberized plastic membrane--This is what keeps your pump waterproof, and without the touch-bolus button covering the membrane, you run a greater risk of puncturing the membrane and then ruining the pump. |

The only issues I've ever experienced with it were tiny stress fractures by the battery housing & on the back of the pump, which didn't affect performance or delivery. I only had it replaced once, but have had similar issues with this pump (some slight stress fractures)....guess I'm somewhat tough on my equipment?  lol

The support person was very nice & apologetic, and sent a replacement on a Friday afternoon, which arrived Saturday morning. I'm having similar issues with this one, but I've had it for a loong time now (since about May of 04 or whenever the other one had its issue) and have bumped it, dropped it & banged into things, etc., without trouble (till now).

| | | The adhesive has worn off mine three times within the last year and I don't even USE the touch bolus button. Customer service has always been real nice about replacing it though.
Mine gets taken in/out a lot of the casing, and bumped, moved, et cetera though.
