iXL™ Remote Controller Features
Set Alerts and Reminders
In addition to automatic safety alarms (see Chapter 9, Hazard
and Advisory Alarms), the iXL System offers a number of alerts
and reminders that you can set to help you manage your
diabetes. These features are optional. You can turn alerts and
reminders on or off at any time. They include:
BG (blood glucose) r
eminder: Reminds you to check your blood
glucose. Choose from Off, Audible, or Vibrate. The default setting
is Off. When the reminder is on, the remote reminds you each
time you enter a bolus dose, and you can then choose a time
interval.
Expiration:
Alerts you when a pump is nearing expiration
(72 hours). Choose an alert period from 3 to 18 hours before
expiration in 1-hour increments, or choose Off. The default
setting is Off. (This optional alert is in addition to two advisory
alarms, at 2 and 1 hours before expiration, and a hazard alarm
at actual expiration time, as described in Chapter 9, Hazard
and Advisory Alarms.)
Low r
eservoir: Alerts you when insulin in the pump reaches a
certain level, so you can plan ahead to change the pump.
Choose a level from 10 to 50 units, in 5-unit increments. The
default setting is 10 units.
Auto of
f: Alerts you if no buttons have been pressed within a
certain time period. This alert can be especially reassuring for
users who are prone to hypoglycemia unawareness. Choose a
time period from 1 to 24 hours, in 1-hour increments, or choose
Off. Choose from an audio-only or an audio-plus-vibration alert.
The default setting is Off.
Reminders:
Pump beeps when a program is in process (see
Chapter 3, Basal Rates, and Chapter 4, Bolus Doses, for details).
These include:
• Temporary basal in process
• Extended bolus in process
Choose On or Off. The default setting is On.

ts: Pump beeps in response to your instructions,

alerts include:
• Bolus delivery started
• Bolus delivery completed
• Extended bolus started
• Extended bolus completed
• Temporary basal rate started
