Low Glucose - The pump will alarm if the sensor indicates that the user’s sensor glucose is at or below
this value. You have the option to turn this feature on or off.
Low reservoir warning - Programmable warning that notifies you with an alert when either a specified
number of units remain in the reservoir of your pump, or a specified amount of time remains before
the reservoir will be empty.
Manual bolus - Optional item available in the BOLUS MENU when the Bolus Wizard is active. One method
of programming a bolus without the Bolus Wizard.
Max basal insulin - The maximum amount of basal insulin that the pump will deliver at one time. (Set
by the user).
Max bolus - The maximum amount of bolus insulin that the pump will deliver at one time. (Set by the
user).
Mean Absolute Difference % (MAD%) - Represents the level of accuracy in calibration of the sensor to
BG meter readings. The lower this number, the greater the calibration accuracy. MAD% is calculated
by taking the difference between closely occurring pairs of sensor glucose and BG meter readings,
dividing by the BG meter reading and then averaging across all pairs.
Meter - a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. A small
drop of blood is placed on a disposable test strip, which the meter reads and uses to calculate the
blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dL or mmol/L.
Meter option - Feature that allows the pump to receive BG readings from a linked BG meter.
Normal bolus - An immediate delivery of a specified unit amount of insulin.
Pattern feature - Extended pump feature that allows you to program optional basals (Pattern A, Pattern
B) that support activities or glucose patterns that are not a part of your day-to-day routine, but are
usual in your lifestyle. Such activities could be a sport that you do once a week, a change in your sleep
pattern over the weekend, or hormonal changes during a menstrual cycle.
Pattern, standard - Your normal basal that supports your usual day-to-day activity. When the Patterns
feature is off, the pump uses your standard (basal) pattern.
RF - Radio frequency (RF).
Square Wave
®
bolus - Bolus delivered evenly over a specified time period (30 minutes to 8 hours).
Square Wave portion - (Sq) The second part of a Dual Wave bolus. The Square Wave portion delivers
evenly over a period of time after the NOW portion delivers.
Step - Measurement of insulin that you set and use for Easy Bolus delivery.
Suspend - Function on the pump that stops all insulin delivery. Any current bolus and/or prime deliveries
are canceled. The basal delivery is paused until restarted.
Temp - Temporary
Temp basal (tmp basal) - Temporary one-time basal insulin with a specified amount and duration. Used
to support insulin needs for special activities or conditions that are not part of the normal daily routine.
Transmtr ID - The serial number of the transmitter currently in use.
Upload - The process for transferring pump or meter data to the CareLink® Personal server.
