Product Info

WARNING: Always confirm your sensor glucose readings with your
BG meter and treat according to the recommendations of your
healthcare professional. The Suspend on low feature uses the sensor
glucose value, not your blood glucose value, to automatically
suspend your pump. Your pump may automatically suspend when
your sensor glucose is at or below the low limit, while your blood
glucose is above that limit. Assuming that your sensor glucose
value is accurate may result in the delivery of too little or too much
insulin, which can cause hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
Responding to a Suspend on low event
When you clear the Suspend on low alarm, the SmartGuard suspend icon
flashes and "Suspended on low" appears on your Home screen.
When a Suspend on low event occurs, the pump alerts you.
When a Suspend on low event occurs, insulin delivery will remain suspended for at
least 30 minutes. Insulin delivery will be suspended for a maximum of two hours.
You can manually resume insulin delivery at any time. For details, see Manually
resuming basal delivery during a SmartGuard suspend event, on page 198. After the
minimum 30-minute suspend time, basal insulin delivery will automatically resume
if the following conditions are met:
• Your SG is at least 20 mg/dL above your low limit.
• Your SG is estimated to be more than 40 mg/dL above your low limit within
30 minutes.
If you do not respond to the Suspend on low alarm, your pump resumes insulin
delivery after two hours and continues to display an emergency message.
When Suspend on low is unavailable
After a Suspend on low event occurs, there is a period of time when the suspend
functionality is unavailable. This time will vary depending on whether or not you
respond to the Suspend on low event. You can manually suspend insulin delivery
at any time. For details, see Stopping and resuming your insulin delivery, on page 78.
