Bolus Delivery: In order to assess bolus delivery accuracy, 12 Pods were tested by
delivering a minimum, intermediate, and maximum bolus amount (0.05, 5.00,
and 30.0 Units). Water was used as a substitute for insulin. e water was pumped
into a container on a scale and the weight of the liquid delivered was used to assess
pumping accuracy.
e following table summarizes the typical bolus performance observed for the
requested minimum, intermediate, and maximum size bolus for all pumps tested.
For each individual target bolus size, the number of boluses observed is shown
along with the average (mean), minimum, and maximum units delivered as
measured by a scale.
