Calibration
To calibrate, you must use a blood glucose reading from your BG meter and enter that value into your pump. The pump will ac
readings between 40 mg/dL and 400 mg/dL. Your CGM system requires BG meter readings in order to provide you with SG rea
not eliminate the need for BG meter testing and calibrations are essential for optimal performance from your CGM system.
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 yo
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 the system detects that a calibration is needed for optimal performance.
Approximately two hours after starting a new sensor or any other a calibration is necessary, you will receive a “Calibrate now”
If you cannot calibrate right way, for example, if you will be driving or in a meeting, you can set the Snooze to remind you to cal
that you set. You can change the time if you desire, and press Select.
You may also receive additional Calibrate now alerts to let you know that another calibration is required to improve performan
Calibrate now alert appears, the system stops calculating SG values until a calibration BG is successfully entered.
Calibrating the Sensor

There are several different ways that you can enter a BG reading to calibrate the sensor.
Using a linked meter:
1. Check the BG using a linked meter.
2. On your pump, select Yes to confirm the BG meter reading.

If you do not believe the BG meter reading to be accurate, do not confirm now. Select No, wash your hands, and re-test your B
3. Select Calibrate Sensor to calibrate using the BG value.
