Deliver Easy Bolus
Practice using the Easy Bolus feature while looking at the pump screen as you count the beeps. After you are
familiar with Easy Bolus, you can use the audible tones for bolus delivery without having to look at the screen.
NOTE - Easy bolus only works from the HOME screen.
1. From the HOME screen, press . The SET EASY BOLUS screen
will appear. The single “step” value will be flashing.
2. Press the number of times needed for your bolus amount.
Watch the amount change on the screen with each press. When
your total bolus amount appears on the screen, press ACT.
The pump will vibrate or sound a different tone for each press.
Listen/feel to count the steps without looking at the screen.
For example: You need to deliver a 1.0 unit bolus, and your step size is set to 0.1.
Each time you press , the units increase by the “step” amount.
To deliver 1.0 units, you need to press the button 10 times. (10 X 0.1 = 1.0)
The screen will show 1.0 units.
NOTE - Pressing or
ESC
will cancel the Easy bolus.
