Program a basal rate
1. From the Time/Date screen, press SEL until the
“BASAL RATE” screen is displayed. Preset
delivery pattern “A”, a basal rate of 0.2 U/H, and
the word “NOW” is flashing. Press ACT.
2. A “1” now appears to the right of the “A”
indicating that this programming will effect the
1
st
basal change within the “A” pattern, (there
are 3 patterns available [A, B, C] and 48 basal
changes possible within each pattern). The
flashing 0.2 U/H indicates the value can be
changed. Use the  and  buttons to change the
value and then press ACT.
NOTE: 00:00 indicates a start time of MIDNIGHT in 24hr.
display mode. In 12hr. display mode, the screen indicates
the start time as 12:00am.
3. The screen now displays “SET TIME”, and a
time of 00:30 or 12:30 am (24 or 12 hour
respectively) and a “2.”
If one basal is all that will be used, press ACT
two times. If more than one basal rate is to be
programmed, enter a start time and amount of the new basal rate for that time
period, then press ACT and enter the new basal rate. The user can enter a
new basal rate at 30 minute intervals, up to 48 basal rates.
4. Place the PPC near the Pump and complete the
communication process.
5. The PPC will briefly display the calculated total
basal dose for 24 hours, based on the values and
times entered in the Basal Rate programming
screen. In this example, the total basal dose is
4.8 U/day.
