When to calibrate
The following table describes when to calibrate your sensor.
Calibrate Description
After warm-up is
complete.
Do your first sensor calibration.
Your pump displays a Calibrate now alert within two hours
after starting a new sensor. Your first sensor glucose reading
appears about 5 to 15 minutes after you calibrate.
Six hours after your
first calibration.
Do your second sensor calibration.
Six hours after you calibrate for the first time, a Calibrate now
alert appears, and your pump stops calculating your SG values.
It takes about 5 to 15 minutes after you calibrate to receive SG
values again.
Within 12 hours after
your second
calibration and at
least every 12 hours
thereafter.
After you do your second calibration, you need to calibrate at
least every 12 hours.
If you do not calibrate for more than 12 hours, a Calibrate now
alert appears. It takes about 5 to 15 minutes after you calibrate
to receive SG values again.
Guidelines for calibrating
Follow these guidelines for best sensor calibration results:
• Calibrate three to four times spread out throughout the day to improve
accuracy. For details, see When to calibrate, on page 186.
