Programming an Extended Bolus

The Extended Bolus is available in the ADVANCED and CUSTOM user menus. The Extended Bolus function lets you program a bolus to be delivered over a period of time. This function is helpful during long meals, dinners, or receptions, or when you have meals that are digested slowly. The Extended Bolus may also be appropriate for people who have gastroparesis (delayed digestion).

The duration of bolus delivery can be programmed in 15-minute intervals up to 24 hours and begins immediately after confirmation.

Note:

You can add a Standard Bolus to an ongoing Extended Bolus. If you cancel the Standard Bolus, the Extended Bolus continues to run.

During the delivery of an Extended Bolus, the programming of another Extended Bolus or a MultiWave Bolus is blocked. If you want to program a different Extended Bolus, put the pump in STOP mode to cancel the current bolus and to program a new one.
