How-To Guide

Example: Safe Basal
Alex’s pump is in Auto Mode. Before lunch, he checks his BG, and enters the value
into his pump. Alex notices the BG he entered was much higher than his current
SG reading. Alex receives a BG required alert for Auto Mode. His pump displays a
gray shield, indicating that Auto Mode is now in Safe Basal delivery. He washes his
hands, repeats his fingerstick, and enters the new BG into the pump.
Alex checks his user guide and realizes that his pump entered Safe Basal because
the difference between his SG and BG entry was greater than 35%.
Block Mode when in SmartGuard Auto Mode
Block Mode lets a caregiver block the patient from changing settings or delivering
a bolus directly on the pump. In Block Mode, the following actions can be done
while the pump is in Auto Mode:
• Auto Basal delivery
• BG correction bolus if BG was sent from your Accu-Chek Guide Link meter
• Calibration if BG was sent from your Accu-Chek Guide Link meter
The following actions cannot be done in Block Mode:
• Bolus delivery or entry unless prompted by the Bolus Recommended screen
• Changes to Auto Mode settings
•Manual BG entry
