[QUOTE="Allongsound, post: 758300, member: 158635"] Hi, yes we did a self test pretty soon after the incident. It worked, but we still were not confident that it was operating properly... I think after the first incident where the pump seemed to function ok, but then (luckily before his bed time) it just died. He is fine, thank goodness! He absolutely hates the injections, so I think it would take a lot to put him off of the pump :) Medtronic did send a replacement out today, although I must say the U.S. call centre were less than helpful for the most part. I only stumbled across the page through researching waterproof pumps/pouches, as swimming is a regular activity. We also go to spend time with family in Bermuda fairly often, which involves a fair bit of time on boats. We do have a waterproof bag for when we take the pump off, which allows us to safely transport it from boat to beach, but it doesn't allow for the tube... [/QUOTE]
