Setting the Max basal rate
Maximum (max) basal rate is a safety limit for the amount of basal insulin that is able to be delivered per hour.
Your pump is sent from the factory with the max basal set to two (2.0) units per hour. It is important to determine
your max basal rates with your healthcare professional. This safety feature will not allow you to program any basal
rates, including patterns and temporary basal rates, that are greater than the max basal rate.
If you are setting your max basal rate after your basal rates have been set, you cannot set a max basal that is less
than any of the programmed basal rates.
To set your max basal rate, do these steps:
1

Go to the MAX BASAL RATE screen. The maximum basal rate will be flashing.
Main > Basal > Max Basal Rate
