Meter value
The blood glucose measurement received from Paradigm Link meter. Appears in the ENTER BG screen during bolus
programming. Appears on the screen when the pump is idle at the HOME screen.
Normal bolus
Range 0.1 – 25.0 units of insulin (limited by maximum bolus setting).
Occlusion detection
When occlusion is detected, the “no delivery alarm” will occur. The occlusion alarm is triggered by an
average of 2.77 units of “missed” insulin. This table shows occlusion detection for 3 different situations
when using U100 insulin.
Percent temp basal
Default value: 100% of basal programming
Power supply
The pump is powered by a standard 1.5 V AAA alkaline battery (Energizer brand recommended).
Prime function
