■ Maximum Basal Rate
What is the maximum basal rate?
The maximum basal rate is a safety feature that limits the basal
rate (U/hr) that the Pod can deliver. Once you enter it into the
PDM memory, the maximum applies to both regular basal pro-
grams and temporary basal rates.
You and your healthcare provider will enter an initial maximum
basal rate into your PDM during the setup process (see Chapter
2, Getting Started). You can change it later as you fine-tune your
System settings or when your needs change.
Change the maximum basal rate
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose Settings, then press Select.
2. Choose System setup, then press Select.
3. Choose Bolus/basal/calcs, then press Select.
4. Choose Max basal, then press Select.
5. Enter a new maximum basal rate, then press Enter.
