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.

Bolus Wizard feature specifications

There are three different formulas the Bolus Wizard feature uses to estimate a bolus, depending on your current blood glucose: food estimate correction estimate

1 If current blood glucose is greater than your High Target BG

= food carb ratio

+ current BG – High BG Target

– active insulin insulin sensitivity

2 If current blood glucose is less than your

Low Target BG

= food estimate food carb ratio

+ correction estimate current BG - Low BG Target insulin sensitivity

= food estimate food carb ratio

+ correction estimate

3 If current BG is between or = High or

Low Target BG

Notes:

➠

➠

➠

If a Dual Wave bolus is less than the estimate due to the max bolus limit or a user change, the square (sq) portion is reduced first.

Based on the Active Insulin Time setting you choose, the pump keeps track of how much insulin is still active in your body. This prevents “stacking” of insulin, and lowers the chances of hypoglycemia.

➠

➠

➠

Active insulin only reduces the correction portion of the estimate, not the food portion.

For a current blood glucose that is above the high target, if the active insulin is more than the correction estimate, the correction portion of the estimate is changed to zero (0).

For a current blood glucose that is below the low target, if the active insulin is more than the correction estimate, the active insulin is not considered.
