INSULIN PUMP I BASAL PATTERNS
INSULIN PUMP I BASAL PATTERNS
BASAL PATTERNS SET UP - MULTIPLE BASAL RATES
SETTING MULTIPLE BASAL RATES
NOTE: The basal rates shown are for illustration purposes only
– your basal settings will be different.
The pump supplies basal insulin by
delivering small amounts of short-acting
insulin throughout each hour, every
hour of the day and night. This allows for
insulin to be increased and decreased to
adjust for your body’s needs.
Basal insulin amounts must be
programmed into your pump. This is
done by setting a basal pattern. A basal
pattern consists of one or more basal
rates being delivered over the course
of 24 hours.
It is likely when you start on pump therapy, that you will need more than one basal rate
throughout the day and night to meet your body’s insulin needs.
For example, a Basal Pattern may look like this:
00:00
06:00
12:00
18:00
24:00
00:00 – 03:00
03:00 – 08:00
0.700 U/hr
0.800 U/hr
08:00-15:00
0.650 U/hr
15:00-19:00
0.550 U/hr
19:00-24:00
0.600 U/hr
24 Hours
1.000
0.500
U/hr
In this example, the basal pattern includes 5 different basal rates over 24 hours.
5
You can see you are
automatically asked to enter the
end time of the second basal
rate. This basal rate will need to
end at 8:00 and will need to be
changed to 0.800 U/hr.
Press
to 0.700 U/hr and press
.

TEMPORARY (TEMP) BASAL RATE
This feature lets you immediately
increase or decrease your basal insulin
for the period of time (duration) that you
set. It is the easiest way to immediately
adapt your basal rate according to your
daily life and is often used for exercise
and sick days.
A Temp Basal can be set in either
Percent (delivers a percent of the
current basal rate) or by Rate (delivers
the amount that you enter).

NOTE: Before using the Bolus Wizard calculator, you need to program your individual
settings with the help of your health care professional.
Calculating how much bolus insulin to
give can be challenging. When using the
Bolus Wizard feature, all you will need
to do is enter your current BG reading
along with the amount of carbs you are
about to eat.
Once you do this, the Bolus Wizard
calculator uses the individual
settings provided by your health care
professional to estimate your bolus
amount. Because these settings
are specific to you, you can use it to
calculate the precise amount of bolus
insulin you need for your food and BG.
This can help you better control your
glucose levels.

SECTION 7: ALERTS AND ALARMS
ALERTS
An alert makes you aware of a situation that may need your attention. When an alert
occurs, you should check to see what your pump is telling you. Examples of alerts
include Low reservoir or Low battery.
ALARM
When an alarm occurs, something has been detected that is preventing insulin from
being delivered. You are not getting insulin. It is important that you address an alarm
right away. Examples of alarms are Insulin flow blocked and Replace battery now.
WHEN AN ALERT OR ALARM OCCURS:

The pump will display a notification
with a red icon and instructions on
what to do.
IMPORTANT: It is important that you are able to address an Insulin flow blocked alarm.
This alarm means that insulin is not able to get through the tubing or cannula. If this
alarm occurs, check your blood glucose and check to see if your infusion set has become
dislodged or if your tubing is kinked.
If you don’t detect an issue and are unable to change your reservoir and infusion set right
away, you might choose to select Resume Basal. If an Insulin flow blocked alarm occurs
again, follow the steps on the screen. Select Rewind and change your reservoir and
infusion set.
If you detect an issue or if your reservoir has run out of insulin, follow the steps on the
screen. Select Rewind to change your reservoir and infusion set.
You can call the Product helpline if you have questions about your pump,
alerts or alarms.
TO ADDRESS AND CLEAR THE ALERT OR ALARM:
1. Read the text on the screen to understand the alert or alarm and the steps that
should be taken
2. Press
.
3. Press
on the desired option.
Example of alarm:
Press
Alert: the audio/vibration pattern repeats every 5 minutes or every 15 minutes
(depending on the alert) until the alert is cleared.
Alarm: the audio/vibration pattern repeats every minute for 10 minutes if
the alarm is not cleared. After 10 minutes, the alarm begins to siren.
SECTION 9: INTRODUCTION TO CONTINUOUS
GLUCOSE MONITORING
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) gives you a more complete picture of your
glucose control:
Drawings throughout this document are only generic representations of the system components.

feature in a user evaluation study. Diabetologia. 2015, 58 (Suppl 1), p 416.
* See Appendix pages 66-67 for further details on how SmartGuard technology works.
** The transmitter must be within 1.8 meters of the insulin pump in order to communicate sensor readings.
The MiniMed 640G insulin pump will not communicate with MiniLink transmitters.
SECTION 8: SUSPEND DELIVERY
Remember your pump is delivering basal insulin throughout every hour of the day.
Although you should never stop this insulin delivery for more than an hour or so, there
will be times when you will want to manually suspend, or stop delivery, and disconnect
from your pump.

This is done using the Suspend Delivery
feature. Using Suspend Delivery stops all
insulin delivery.
The most common reasons to manually
suspend delivery might include bathing
and water activities. Infusion sets are
designed so you can easily disconnect
from your pump and leave it in a safe
place.
When the pump is manually
suspended, all insulin delivery stops. All
insulin delivery will remain stopped until
you resume delivery.
When the delivery is resumed, basal
insulin will begin to deliver again. The
pump will not deliver any of the basal
insulin you missed while the pump was
suspended.
If you manually suspend delivery while
a bolus is delivering, the bolus delivery
will stop. When you resume delivery,
the remainder of the bolus will not be
delivered.
To place the pump in Manual Suspend:
from the Menu, select Suspend
Delivery > Press
and select Yes.
Notice that the Home screen has
changed.
To resume Basal Insulin Delivery, select
Resume from the Home screen.
Using a sensor allows you to receive
up to 288 sensor glucose readings
every 24 hours, filling the gaps
between your BG tests.
Graphs and trend arrows show the
speed and direction your glucose levels
are moving.
CGM alerts notify you of high and low
glucose values.
MiniMed 640G insulin pump also
includes SmartGuard technology,
Medtronic’s exclusive closed loop
technology.
SmartGuard technology mimics some
functions of a healthy pancreas, to
provide you with advanced protection
from hypoglyceamia1. SmartGuard
technology can:
PREDICT when you are approaching
low glucose levels 30 minutes
in advance
Automatically STOP insulin delivery
before you go hypoglycemic
And automatically RESUME it when
your glucose levels recover*.
SECTION 11: TRENDS
Sensor glucose trends give insight into the direction and the speed that your
glucose is changing. The sensor graph and trend arrows are used to show your trend
information.

CGM I TRENDS
CGM I SENSOR GLUCOSE (SG) AND BLOOD GLUCOSE (BG)
IMPORTANT: When using CGM, focus less on each individual glucose number and more
on the direction and speed that your glucose is changing.
NOTE: You may be likely to notice your glucose trending up or down after eating, giving a
bolus, or when exercising.
IMPORTANT: Sensor glucose is not the same as blood glucose. Your SG and BG
readings will be close to one another, but will rarely match exactly.
Sensor glucose values should not be used to make diabetes treatment decisions.
Always confirm your glucose value with a BG meter first.
Your BG meter measures glucose
levels in your blood. The glucose
sensor measures glucose in the fluid
surrounding the cells of your tissue
called interstitial fluid.
Glucose travels between these two
areas (blood and interstitial fluid). Most
of the time, it travels to your blood
first, and then to your interstitial fluid.
Because of how glucose moves, your
BG meter readings (BG) and sensor
glucose readings (SG) will be close, but
will rarely match exactly. This difference
is normal and should be expected.
When glucose levels are rising or falling
quickly, you should expect to see an
even larger difference between your BG
meter readings and the sensor glucose
readings.
Examples of times when this larger
difference may occur include:
After meals or taking a bolus of insulin
During exercise
When arrows appear on your pump
screen as explained in the next
section
By looking at the sensor information
above, you can see that your current
glucose reading is 5.6 mmol/L. When
you look at the graph, you can see that
you are trending downward.
Furthermore, you see arrows above the
number. These arrows indicate the rate
that your glucose values are moving up
or down:
or - SG has been rising or falling
by about 1-2 mmol/L over the last 20
minutes
or
- SG has been rising or falling by
about 2-3 mmol/L over the last
20 minutes
or
- SG has been rising or falling
by about 3 mmol/L over the last
20 minutes
The Low Settings include alerts, as well as
the SmartGuard™ technology features.
You can choose to be alerted if your
sensor glucose:
is approaching your low limit
(Alert before low)
has reached your low limit
(Alert on low)
The SmartGuard technology features
can automatically suspend insulin if your
sensor glucose:
is approaching your low limit
(Suspend before low)
has reached your low limit
(Suspend on low)
This will keep you from getting additional
insulin that would continue to lower
your sensor glucose level.
Your low (Lo) limit can be set from 2.8 to 5.0 mmol/L. This is the value on which the
other low settings described below are based. You can set up to eight low limits for
different periods of the day or night.

SECTION 12: PERSONALISED ALERTS
Your CGM alert and suspend settings
are most beneficial if they are
personalised for your needs. Your
healthcare professional will work with
you to determine your initial settings
and help with adjustments that need to
be made, as you learn more from the
information that CGM provides.
The graph below shows an example
of the different settings that can be

Automatic Basal Resume
In addition to suspending insulin delivery,
the pump can also automatically
resume delivery of basal insulin. If insulin
has been suspended by either Suspend
before low or Suspend on low, insulin
delivery will automatically be resumed:
if SG values are above the low limit and
are trending upward. If you have the
Resume basal alert on, you will be
alerted when this occurs.
after a maximum suspend time of 2
hours. You will always be alerted (even
if the Resume basal alert is off) when
this occurs. It is important that you
check your BG and ensure your
glucose is at a safe level.
Manual Basal Resume
You can choose to resume basal insulin
delivery yourself at any time. You simply
need to select Suspended before/on

INSERTING YOUR SENSOR
The instructions below only refer to the One-press Serter. If you have a different
serter model, please refer to your serter User Guide for instructions on how to
insert the sensor.
CGM I INSERTING AND STARTING THE SENSOR
CGM I INSERTING AND STARTING THE SENSOR
NOTE: The sensor remains
inside the serter after removing
the pedestal. The arrow on
both sides of serter indicate
location of the sensor needle.
IMPORTANT: All Enlite tapes and adhesives stick best when you apply pressure for several seconds after putting
them on your skin. Doing so helps the Enlite sensor stay securely placed and fully inserted.
Properly applying the overtape is key to ensuring your success with the Enlite sensor. Due to the sensor’s small
size and flexible nature, the overtape helps to secure it from body motion or physical activity that can cause it to
be pulled out.

IMPORTANT: Applying an additional
piece of tape over the transmitter once
it is connected to the sensor as shown
here helps to ensure the transmitter
and sensor stay secure and connected
during wear. The Enlite overtape or any
other medical tape can be used.
STARTING THE SENSOR
Once you have inserted the sensor and connected the transmitter, the pump
and transmitter will begin to communicate. Make sure your pump is on the Home
screen so that the message below (in step 1) will be displayed when the sensor is
ready to be started. This typically takes less than a minute, but may take up to
10 minutes.
CONNECTING YOUR TRANSMITTER TO YOUR SENSOR
Before connecting the transmitter, make sure the Sensor feature is On.
See page 38 if you need help with these steps.
With one hand, hold
sensor in place. With
other hand, connect
transmitter
to sensor.
You may hear a faint
“click” when the two
components are
connected. Check for
green light to flash on
transmitter.
It is very helpful to remember the order
of these three steps when changing
your sensor:
1 Insert the sensor.
2 Tape the sensor in place.
3 Connect the transmitter.

SECTION 16: CALIBRATING
Your continuous glucose monitoring
system requires blood glucose meter
readings in order to provide you with
sensor glucose readings. These BG
meter readings are entered into the
pump and are for sensor calibrations.
Calibration is essential for optimal CGM
performance. CGM does not eliminate
the need for BG meter tests.
To calibrate, you must test your blood
glucose on your meter and then enter
that value into your pump. The pump will
accept BG meter readings between 2.2
mmol/L and 22.2 mmol/L.
After inserting a new sensor, a
calibration is needed:
Within 2 hours after you connect the
transmitter to your sensor and start
the Warm up period. Your pump will
notify you with a Calibrate now alert
when it is ready for its first calibration.
Again within 6 hours (first day of
inserting sensor only)
Again every 12 hours (when a
calibration is necessary you will receive
a Calibrate now alert).

REMEMBER: Calibrations are necessary in order to continue to receive sensor glucose
readings, alerts and alarms.
IMPORTANT: After the first day, the minimum number of calibrations required is one every
12 hours. However, calibrating 3-4 times a day is optimal and these can be done when it is
convenient for you. To help you remember to calibrate, think “before is best” - typically the
best times to calibrate are before meals, before taking insulin, and before bedtime. Also
check for arrows - calibrating when there are 2 or 3 arrows may decrease sensor accuracy
until the next calibration.
CALIBRATING THE SENSOR
There are 5 different ways that you can enter a BG reading to calibrate the sensor.
CALIBRATING THROUGH HOME SCREEN GRAPH
CALIBRATING BY USING THE Contour™ Next LINK 2.4 METER
When you use the compatible Ascensia meter, you will see the meter value
automatically displayed on the home screen, as shown here.
CALIBRATING THROUGH THE BOLUS WIZARD
Select Calibrate Sensor or if
you plan to give a bolus using
Bolus Wizard, select Bolus.
In the Bolus Wizard:
Select Deliver Bolus.
If you have selected Bolus,
select Yes to Calibrate Sensor?
after bolus is delivered.
Select Yes to calibrate sensor.
Select
to the sensor graph,
press
and hold.
Press
or
to enter BG value,
press
and select Calibrate.
CGM I CALIBRATING
CGM I CALIBRATING
The 2 other ways to calibrate your sensor are through:
Sensor Settings: from the Menu, go to Sensor Settings >
Calibrate Sensor, select BG and press
or
to enter
BG value > press
and select Calibrate.
Event Markers: from the Menu, go to Event Markers >
BG > Enter BG > press
> select Save >
select Yes to calibrate sensor.
Once you have entered a calibration BG, the Home screen
will show you that the system is calibrating.
You will start seeing sensor glucose readings again in 5-15
minutes.
You can use the Calibration Reminder to give you notice before the next calibration
is necessary.
The Calibration Reminder defaults On with a reminder time of 1:00 hour and you can
change it by going to the Reminders menu option.
OTHER WAYS TO CALIBRATE
IMPORTANT: If you notice a large difference between your BG meter reading and sensor
glucose readings, wash your hands and do another BG fingerstick test to help ensure a more
accurate reading. Check the sensor site to ensure the sensor overtape is still holding the
sensor in place. If there is still a large difference in glucose readings, another calibration may
be needed to bring the readings closer together again.

CHARGING AND STORING THE GUARDIAN 2 LINK TRANSMITTER
Charge the transmitter before each use. When
the transmitter is charging, a green light will flash
on the charger. This green light will turn off when
the transmitter is completely charged. You will
need to charge the transmitter after each sensor
use. A fully charged transmitter can be used
for a maximum of six days without recharging.
It can take up to an hour to fully recharge.
When you remove the transmitter from the charger,
a green light should flash on the transmitter.
This indicates that it has enough battery power
to be connected to the sensor. If you do not see
the green flashing light on the transmitter place
it back on the charger until it is fully charged.
Store the transmitter, charger, and test plug in a
clean, dry location at room temperature. Although
not required, you may store the transmitter on
the charger. If the transmitter is not in use, you
must charge it at least once every 60 days.
If you connect transmitter to charger and you see no
lights on the charger:
replace the battery in the charger.
While charging your transmitter you see a flashing red
light on the charger: replace the battery in the charger.
While charging your transmitter you see a mix of short
and long flashing red lights on the charger: replace the
battery in the charger and fully charge the transmitter.
Refer to your Guardian 2 Link transmitter and
charger User Guides for more information.
