2. If you have gone through all of the troubleshooting on your pump screen
and your pump still cannot find the sensor signal, contact your local help line
or representative for assistance.
Calibrating your sensor
Calibration is the process of entering a BG meter reading to calculate sensor
glucose values. You must calibrate your sensor regularly to ensure you continue to
receive sensor glucose data. For details, see Guidelines for calibrating, on page 187.
Within two hours after you use your pump to start the sensor, your pump displays
a Calibrate now alert to let you know that a calibration is due. This BG meter
reading is the first calibration for your sensor. It takes up to 15 minutes after
calibration to see the first sensor glucose reading on your Home screen. You enter
your second calibration within six hours after your first calibration.
After you have entered your first two calibrations, you must calibrate your sensor
again within 12 hours. If you do not enter a BG meter reading within 12 hours,
your pump displays the Calibrate now alert and stops calculating sensor glucose
values until a calibration BG is successfully entered. The sensor must be calibrated
at a minimum of every 12 hours throughout the life of the sensor.
If you are using a compatible Bayer meter, you can set up your pump to calibrate
automatically with each valid BG meter reading. For more details, see Setting up
Auto Calibration, on page 185.
Note: Sensor calibration is successful only if your BG entry is in the range
of 2.2 to 22.2 mmol/L. Remember to calibrate three to four times
throughout the day for optimal results.
To calibrate your sensor:
1. Take a BG meter reading.
2. Go to the Calibrate Sensor screen.
Menu > Sensor Settings > Calibrate Sensor
3. Select BG and enter the value.
4. Select Calibrate.
