Example #1: Block
Nicholas is a very active toddler who wears a Paradigm pump. His parents don't want to worry that he will play
with the pump and accidentally change his programmed settings. They simply activated the Block feature, and
now, except for the Suspend and Self-Test, no other features are active when using the pump buttons. When
Nicholas needs a bolus, his parents and caregivers simply program it with the Remote Control.
Example #2: Block
Oscar is an elderly man with diabetes who needs assistance with all of his daily living activities. He needs his
caregiver or family member to help him with his pump as well. To be sure that Oscar does not change any pump
settings, his family programmed his Paradigm pump with the Block feature turned on. They use the Remote
Control to give him his boluses when he needs them.
