PPC safety features
Programming sequence
In order to send a command to your Pump, your PPC must be properly posi-
tioned nearby and a series of programming steps must be followed.
Maximum dosage limits
Your doctor will program maximum dose limits into your PPC. The pro-
grammed maximum basal rate and bolus amount will protect you from an
insulin overdose, in the event of a programming mistake.
Alarms and messages
Your PPC prompts you with many easy-to-read messages on the screen. Also,
the PPC emits beeps to notify you of certain conditions, such as battery status,
programming errors, and a low or empty pump reservoir. These messages and
alarms are discussed further in Chapter 5, entitled, “Alarms and Messages.”
