iXL™ Remote Controller Features
The Status Screen
The top of the iXL Remote Controller Status screen (Figure 6-1)
displays the “communicating” icon, an icon showing how full
the battery is, and the current date and time. The center of the
screen provides information on current insulin delivery (or
suspension). The bottom of the screen shows an insulin gauge
and the soft key for the Main menu.
Insulin Gauge and Display
One of the important icons on the Status screen is the insulin
gauge in the lower lefthand corner. It indicates how much insulin
is left in the pump’s reservoir. As the reservoir empties, the icon
changes to indicate the amount of insulin remaining.
Next to the insulin gauge, the remote displays the number of units
remaining in the pump. As long as more than 50 units remain,
the gauge displays “50+ U.” Once the reservoir volume drops to
50 units, the gauge counts down unit by unit. When the volume
falls below 5 units, the display changes to “Low Reservoir.”
Regularly checking the insulin gauge enables you to plan
pump changes easily. For example, if you know you will
need approximately 20 units during your work day and
the insulin gauge shows only 17 units remaining, you can
either take a new pump with you or change it before you
leave for the day.
