If you remove your pump

ou may have an occasion when you need or want to remove your pump. If you have to remove and store

your pump, it is recommended that you do the following:

• Store your pump with the battery in place

• Keep a record of your current basal rates and use the Save Settings feature (see the Saving the

settings section in the Utilities chapter).

• To preserve battery life, reset the basal rates to 0 (zero), turn off the RF options (meter, remote), and

set Auto-off to dashes or zeroes.

Remember, your body still needs insulin while your pump is removed.

It is important that you consult with your healthcare professional to determine an alternate method of

receiving your insulin. You can remove your pump for up to one hour without taking insulin. If you remove

your pump for more than one hour, you will have to use another way to take your insulin, such as

injections of fast-acting insulin, or reconnecting your pump to take boluses. Take the injection or bolus

approximately every four hours. Calculate the amount of insulin to take based on the total of your basal

insulin in four hours. Include the amount you need for meal and correction boluses. If you will have your

pump off for several days, you will need to return to a multiple injection regimen.
