Infusion site
The place where the infusion set cannula or needle is inserted into your
subcutaneous tissue to deliver insulin.
Insulin
A hormone that helps cells turn glucose into energy. Insulin is produced in the
beta cells of the pancreas (also called islets of Langerhans).
Insulin, rapid-acting (insulin analog)
A type of insulin created using recombinant DNA technology. The onset time
of insulin analog is 5 to 15 minutes.
IPX8 according to IEC 60529
Protection against the effects of temporary immersion in water. Ingress of water
in quantities causing harmful effects is not possible when the device is temporarily
immersed in water under standardized conditions [maximum of 60 minutes a
day and 8 feet (2.5 meters) depth].
Luer-lock connector
A standardized fitting at the end of the infusion set, the cartridge, and the adapter
that lets them be locked together without leaking.
Personal settings
Your pump must be programmed with your personal settings prior to starting
insulin pump therapy. Personal settings include the basal rate profile(s), the
correct time and date, and all other variable values that can be tailored to
your individual needs on your pump.
RUN mode
During normal use, your pump is in RUN mode and insulin is continuously
delivered. Boluses, Temporary Basal Rates, and almost all functions can be
programmed from RUN mode.
RUN screen
The RUN screen is the starting point for all functions that can be accessed
while your pump delivers insulin. Your pump displays the RUN screen during
normal use when no programming is currently being performed. The time,
current hourly basal rate, basal rate profile, and all functions currently
activated appear on the RUN screen.
