Selftest
Selftest is a safety utility that allows you to check if your pump is operating properly. This self-diagnostic
feature can be used for maintenance or to check your pump if it operates unusually. During selftest, your pump
will automatically run internal tests, including a check for proper operation of the beep and vibrate modes. The
selftest is additional to the routine tests that run independently while the pump operates.
Contact the Medtronic MiniMed 24-hour Product Help Line if any of the tests do not occur as described here.
NOTE - If the pump detects a condition such as low battery, the selftest will not finish. A message will
appear to show the condition that caused the test to stop.
