Resume pump delivery
When the pump is suspended, it defaults to the HOME screen with a solid circle.
Do these steps to resume your pump and basal delivery:
1. From any screen, press ACT until the RESUME screen appears. Press ACT
again.
2. Your pump will beep once, then the HOME screen will appear (with no circle).
NOTE - A bolus or fixed prime that was stopped by suspend will
not
restart
when you resume your pump. You must reprogram and activate it to finish
delivery.

1Josh has been on a Medtronic MiniMed pump for several months. He is very active in soccer and
basketball. He and his healthcare professional have determined that he does not need his basal
insulin during his games, and that he is able to take the pump off for these short amounts of time.
Josh uses the “Suspend” feature on his pump to stop the basal insulin during the time that he is
disconnected from his pump. He will “Resume” delivery when he reconnects the pump.
2Helen is ready to eat her lunch. She has just programmed her pump to deliver a meal bolus when
the phone rings. Helen wants to talk on the phone and not eat her lunch right away. She knows
that if she lets the bolus continue and she does not eat her lunch soon, she may be at risk for low
blood glucose. Helen “Suspends” delivery of her pump to stop the bolus, but then “Resumes”
delivery to restart her basal insulin. When she is off the phone and ready to eat, she checks her
STATUS screen to see how much insulin she received from the partially delivered bolus before she
suspended her pump. She will reprogram a new bolus for the remainder.
