User guide

The blue bars represent device data. The orange bar represents the reporting period that you
selected. Overlap in the device data and reporting period means you have data for some or all of
the displayed reporting period.
The data calendar area initially displays the most current three months. To see other months, click
the arrow buttons
on either end of the months.
Selecting source data to include
1 If the patient uses a BG meter that links to their pump, click to choose one of the following
options for reporting meter BG data:
- In the pump: Advantages of this selection include that you only have to read data from the
patient’s pump, BG readings are time stamped by the pump, and the readings are tied
directly to any Bolus Wizard calculations used. A disadvantage is that if there are
communication difficulties between the pump and the linked meter, BG readings during
that time may not get reported. Also, for MiniMed Paradigm pumps prior to the 522/722,
any BG readings from Bolus Wizard calculations that are not acted on do not get reported.
- In the link meter(s): The advantage of this selection is that all readings stored in the linked
meter are reported. The disadvantage is that to correlate meter and pump data, you must
have made sure that the pump and meter clocks were synchronized with one another. You
must also read data from the pump and the linked meter separately.
2 To add device data to reports, select the check box next to the relevant device.
You cannot add devices that were excluded due to your selection in step 1. To change this,
select the other linked meter option.
3 To exclude device data from reports, clear the check box next to the relevant device.
You cannot clear check marks related to the option you selected in step 1. To change these,
select the other linked meter option.
Checking for device data
1 Look at the data calendar in the Reports workspace to see if the orange bar representing the
reporting period overlaps with the blue bars representing device data.
2 If the bars overlap for the entire reporting period, you have data for your report(s). You can click
NEXT and go to Verifying report settings on page 42.
