Before you begin
determine the timing as well as the amount and type of bolus you
need to deliver. Make sure you know your personal carbohydrate
insulin ratio and your correction bolus ratio.
➨
When your insulin pump is in STOP, it does not deliver any
insulin. Put your insulin pump into RUN to continue the insulin
delivery.
➨
After inserting a new battery, always ensure that the time
and date of your insulin pump are set correctly. Incorrect
programming of the time and date may cause incorrect insulin
delivery.
➨
If your insulin pump "times out" before you finish
programming a bolus, no bolus is delivered. Check the bolus
history screens on your insulin pump for the bolus amount
delivered with time and date and program a new bolus if necessary.
➨
If you do not set the correct battery type on your insulin pump,
the alert A2: BATTERY LOW may not occur in time to provide you
sufficient warning to replace your battery.
➨
If you flip the display orientation of your insulin pump by
180 °, the a and s keys will also reverse their functions. In
comparison to the display orientation, the upper key will be a
and the lower key will be s. This change applies for all a and
s functions including turning on the backlight. The d and f
keys will not change in their function, but will remain the same,
regardless of your screen orientation.
➨
If data transfer between your PC and your insulin pump is
disrupted in any way, the configuration may be incomplete and an
error E12: DATA INTERRUPTED occurs. The data transfer must be
completed successfully before you can put your insulin pump into
RUN.
