3.8 RUN and STOP modes
During normal use, your insulin pump is in RUN and insulin is delivered
(basal rate) at the rate you have programmed. The RUN screen is consid-
ered the “home” screen and will be displayed whenever the pump is in
RUN. After any programming or review of information, the insulin pump
will return to the RUN screen. On this screen, you will see the current
time, the current basal rate profile and the current hourly basal rate in
units per hour. In addition, possible reminder information (e.g. cartridge
low) and, information on special functions (e.g. a running Extended bolus
or KeyLock locked or unlocked) may appear on the RUN screen.
See the sections 7.3 “Start insulin delivery”, 7.7.3 “Alarm signals” and
16.4 “Symbols” for further information on the definition of these symbols.
Some functions must be programmed with your insulin pump in STOP,
during which insulin will not be delivered. Your insulin pump must be in
STOP to change the cartridge. Always disconnect your pump from the
infusion site and place the pump in STOP when you prime the infusion set
and/or transfer data.
The time and date, the STOP symbol, possible reminder information (e.g.
battery low) and special functions (e.g. KeyLock locked or unlocked)
appear on the STOP screen. See the section 7.4 “Stop insulin delivery” for
further information.
