Introduction
You will program your Implantable Insulin Pump with your PPC. The PPC
transmits information by (RF telemetry) radio waves to your Pump. With your

compensate for meals. Boluses can be programmed by reading the

• Suspend the Pump
• Program an Automatic Off
• Adjust the tone frequency of the PPC and the audible alarms of the
