The DANA Insulin Pump can deliver a bolus of insulin using different user input parameters
to calculate the bolus volume.
* Bolus calculation parameter
Step Bolus (Quick): This standard bolus option can be calculated by either.
CARBO.: Inputting grams of carbohydrate to be consumed. The
pump will estimate the dosage based on the CIR specific
to the time of the day the bolus is being delivered.
UNIT: Specifying the dosage directly in units of insulin. By selection
of dose in units of insulin below.
BG Bolus Calculator (Smart Bolus): This smart bolus option uses the bolus calculator to
calculate dosage based upon current BG level, grams of carbs to be consumed and uses
the pre-set CIR, CF and Ideal BG levels set within the pump for the specific time of day.
This Smart Bolus also factors in a bolus reduction for residual Active Insulin from previous
boluses. Refer (5.3 Bolus Calculators) for detailed information.

the cannula has been inserted. If discomfort is noticed it is likely the Infusion Set is not
secured properly to the body.
Notice
