Maximum bolus limit
The maximum bolus (max bolus) is a safety feature that limits the amount of insulin that can be delivered in a single
bolus. The factory setting is 10.0 units. You can specify the limit from 0.0 to 25.0 units. It is important to discuss this
feature with your healthcare professional to determine your maximum bolus amount.
To set the maximum bolus limit, do these steps:
1. Go to the MAX BOLUS SETUP screen.
Main > Bolus > Max Bolus
2.
Set your maximum bolus limit
and press ACT.
3. Your maximum bolus
is set. Exit the menus.
