User guide

Follow these guidelines for best calibration results:
• Calibrate three to four times spread out throughout the day.
• Avoid calibrating when your glucose is changing rapidly, such as after eating or exercise.
• Enter your meter BG reading into the pump immediately after testing your BG. Do not wait to enter it
later.
• Always use clean dry fingers when you check your blood glucose.
• Only use your fingertips to obtain blood samples for calibration.
After the transmitter successfully transmits signals to the pump, you may choose to put an occlusive dressing
over the transmitter and the sensor.
Entering meter BG for calibration
Sensor calibration is necessary for optimal glucose sensor performance. Only BG entries in the range of 2.2–
22.2 mmol/L (40–400 mg/dL) are accepted for sensor calibration.
Use any of the following methods for your sensor calibrations, including the first calibration after the
initialization. You can enter BG values manually or through your linked meter.
To enter BG values manually:
1 You can enter a meter BG value manually in the Bolus Wizard.
a. Press the
button on your pump, or use the MAIN MENU to go to the ENTER BG screen:
Main > Bolus > Use Bolus Wizard
b. Use the up and down arrow buttons on your pump to enter your meter BG. Press ACT.
c. Select Yes to calibrate, or No to cancel, when the following screen displays: BG to update Sensor?
2 You can enter a meter BG value manually through the Sensor menu.
a. Follow this path:
Main > Sensor > Calibrate
b. Enter the BG value, and then press ACT. Your sensor is now calibrated with the BG value you
entered.
• If the Bolus Wizard feature is off, the SENSOR MENU screen appears.
• If the Bolus Wizard is on and the saved BG is below your BG Target range, the Cal Saved screen
appears. This screen indicates that your saved BG is below your BG Target set in the Bolus Wizard
feature, and the pump beeps three times. See Setting the BG Targets, on page 85 for more
information.
