Maximum bolus limit
The Maximum bolus (Max bolus) is a safety feature that limits the amount of insulin that can be delivered
in a single bolus. The factory setting is 10.0 units. You can specify the limit from 0.0 to 25.0 units. It is
important to discuss this feature with your healthcare professional to determine your Max bolus amount.
To set the Maximum bolus limit, do these steps:
1 Go to the MAX BOLUS SETUP screen.
Main > Bolus > Bolus Setup > Max Bolus
2 Set your Max bolus limit and press ACT. To accept the set Max bolus limit, press ACT. To change this
limit, press ESC, and then set a lower Max bolus limit.
3 Your Max bolus is set. Exit the menus.
Example 1: Max bolus
Shelby takes very small doses of insulin for her meal boluses. As a safety limit, she and her healthcare
professional reset her pump with a Maximum bolus of 5.0 units.
Example 2: Max bolus
David is a growing teenager. He loves to eat big meals and requires very large doses of insulin for his
food. He reset his pump with a Maximum bolus of 20.0 units so he can take more insulin when he needs
to.
Scroll rate
The scroll rate feature allows you to program bolus insulin delivery in preset increments. These
increments are effective on all bolus screens, except for the SET EASY BOLUS screen. See the Easy bolus
setup section in the Optimizing pump therapy chapter for more information on how to set up the steps for
your Easy Bolus. The factory setting for the scroll rate feature is 0.10 units, and the available options are
0.025, 0.05, or 0.10 unit increments.
