Optimizing pump therapy 103

Selecting temp basal type

Your pump will remember the temp basal type setting. Once the type is set, you do not have to set
it again. To select a temp basal type, do these steps:
1Go to the BASAL MENU.
Main > Basal > Temp Basal Type
Select Temp Basal Type and press ACT.
2The SET TEMP BASAL AS screen will appear. Select Insulin Rate or Percent of
Basal and press ACT.
3The screen will return to the BASAL MENU. The temp basal type is now set. Exit
the menus.

NOTE -

Be aware. If your temp basal type is set to “Percent of Basal,”
changes to your basal rate are not allowed until after temp basal is
completed or cancelled.

Delivering a temp basal

NOTE - A temp basal cannot exceed your programmed max basal rate.
1Go to the BASAL MENU.
Main > Basal > Set/Edit Temp Basal
Select Set/Edit Temp Basal and press ACT.
2The SET DURATION screen will appear. The duration* will flash. Enter the
desired minutes or hours (30 minutes to 24-hours), then press ACT.

NOTE -

* Duration is the amount of time it will take for the pump to deliver
the temporary basal.
