Chapter 12 Using Advanced Features
Using the features in this chapter requires an advanced understanding of insulin pump
therapy and should not be used without training and advice from your healthcare team.
In order to achieve optimal results, some of these features should only be used once you
have tested and fine-tuned your basal rates and your healthcare team has determined
your individual targets and ratios.
Note: Before using these features, you must turn them on in the Setup Advanced Menu.
See Chapter 11.
Audio Bolus and ezBolus™
The Audio Bolus feature of the Animas® 2020 allows you to bolus without looking at the
screen display. This is convenient if you wear your pump under your clothing. When first
using the audio bolus feature, also check the display screen until you are comfortable with
the programming steps. If you do not wish to use the Audio Bolus feature, this button serves
as a shortcut to the Normal Bolus screen. See next section, ezBolus™.
When you first use the Audio Bolus feature, you should always look at the screen to
confirm correct programming until you are comfortable with the feature.
Turn on Audio Bolus in the Setup Advanced menu and select your preferred step size.
