Low Reservoir reminder
The Low Reservoir reminder alerts you when the insulin level in your reservoir is
low. This feature allows you to program your pump to generate a reminder before
your reservoir is empty. You can select one of the following types of Low Reservoir
reminders:
• Units – alerts you when your reservoir has a specified number of units
remaining, and then alerts you again when half of remaining units are used.
• Time – alerts you when there is a specified amount of time remaining before
your reservoir is empty and then again one hour before insulin runs out,
depending on your programmed basal insulin delivery.
Note: The amount of time or units remaining in your reservoir can be
found on the Quick Status screen. For more information on accessing the
Status Screens, see Viewing the Status screens, on page 32.
If you use Time for your Low Reservoir reminder, be aware that the reminder time
is based only on your basal insulin delivery rate. If you give a bolus, the time
remaining will decrease more quickly.
For example, if your reservoir has 10 hours remaining when you go to bed at
night, and you sleep for eight hours without giving any bolus insulin, you will still
have two hours of basal insulin remaining when you wake up. In contrast, suppose
your reservoir has 10 hours remaining when you leave the house for work in the
morning. If you give boluses to cover your mid-morning snack and your lunch, the
number of hours remaining decreases accordingly, and your insulin will run out
before you end your eight-hour work day.
WARNING: When the pump detects a low reservoir condition
during a bolus or fill cannula delivery, the Low reservoir alert
displays. When delivery has finished, check the amount left in the
reservoir to make sure your pump does not run out of insulin, as
this could lead to an under delivery of insulin.
