User guide

Follow these guidelines for best calibration results:
• Calibrate three to four times spread out throughout the day.
• Avoid calibrating when your glucose is changing rapidly, such as after eating or exercise.
• Enter your meter BG reading into the pump immediately after testing your BG. Do not wait to enter it
later.
• Always use clean dry fingers when you check your blood glucose.
• Only use your fingertips to obtain blood samples for calibration.
After the transmitter successfully transmits signals to the pump, you may choose to put an occlusive dressing
over the transmitter and the sensor.
Entering meter BG
Sensor calibration will be successful only if the BG entry is in the range of 2.2–22 mmol/L (40–400 mg/dL).
You should calibrate three to four times spread throughout the day for optimal results.
1 Use any of the following methods for your sensor calibrations, including the first calibration after the
initialization:
a. To enter a BG value automatically through the linked meter, test your BG with a fingerstick. The
value will be automatically sent from the meter to your pump. Make sure that your pump and the
meter are properly programmed for communication. See the Meter option section in the Using the
Bolus Wizard feature chapter for more information.
b. To enter a meter BG value manually, follow this path:
Main > Sensor > Calibrate
Enter the BG value, and then press ACT. Your sensor is now calibrated with the BG value you entered.
• If the Bolus Wizard feature is off, the SENSOR MENU screen appears.
• If the Bolus Wizard is on and the saved BG is below your BG Target range, the Cal Saved screen
appears. This screen indicates that your saved BG is below your BG Target set in the Bolus Wizard
feature, and the pump beeps three times. See Setting the BG Targets, on page 83 for more
information.
• If the Bolus Wizard is on, the saved BG is above your BG Target range, and the calculated
correction estimate is more than the preset scroll rate increment, the Cal Saved screen appears.
This screen indicates that your saved BG is above your BG Target set in the Bolus Wizard feature,
