Programming Your Pump
18
Your PPC has been specifically pre-programmed for use with your Pump.
Do not use another PPC to program your Pump. You must keep your PPC
with you at all times because it is the only way to program your Pump.
Remember, you must measure your blood sugar at least four times each
day, according to the method recommended by your doctor. You must
then use the results of your blood sugar tests to determine the appropriate
dose of insulin to be delivered by your Pump.
PPC screen icons
Your PPC has an easy-to-read dot matrix liquid crystal display (LCD).
The main PPC screen displays the time (12hr. or 24hr. format), month,
day, and a variety of icons. The type and purpose of these icons are as fol-
lows:
Icon Description
The bell icon is displayed when the PPC receives a RF telemetry message
from the Pump. The icon may indicate the Pump or PPC has detected a fail-
ure, or the Pump is in a “SUSPEND” mode or “STOPPED.”
The reservoir icon is composed of 4 segments that indicate how full the
Pump reservoir is, based on the history of the Pump delivery.
The PPC shows a “spinning” icon while insulin delivery is in progress.
When the Pump delivers a bolus amount, the pattern will show three deliv-
ery segments. When the Pump delivers a basal rate, the pattern will show
one delivery segment. When the Pump is not delivering, all four segments
will be displayed.
