• Your personalized Table of Settings in Section 12 - Appendix A.
c. Scroll to highlight BASAL.
Helpful Information
d. Press Enter button.
A temporary basal rate is in effect from 30 minutes to 72 hours in increments of 30 minutes. This temporary rate is
limited by the set up of your pump’s maximum basal rate setting (Refer to Section 6).
If you have NOT modified your maximum basal delivery rate, you will be allowed to increase your basal rate to a
value up to 30 units per hour (default). If you set up a different maximum basal delivery rate, you can only set the
temporary rate to that number of units/hour maximum limit.
Example A:
1. You set your basal rate increment to 0.1 units/hour.
2. You modified your maximum basal rate to 5.0 units/hour.
3. Your regular daily basal rate is set at 0.5 units/hour.
Setting a temporary basal rate of 10% for a duration of 3 hours would result in a temporary basal rate of 0.05
units/hour.
If the desired temporary basal delivery rate is higher than the maximum basal rate of your pump settings, your
pump will NOT deliver the requested temporary rate.
Example B:
1. You set your basal rate increment to 3.0 units/hour.
2. You modified your maximum basal rate to 5.0 units/hour, telling the pump that you never want to have a
basal rate to exceed 5.0 units/hour.
If you set a 200% temporary basal, this will result in a basal rate of 6.0 units/hour. This is more than the basal
maximum, so it would NOT be allowed by the pump. Your pump will beep and display a “Warning: invalid %
Maximum rate exceeded” screen. You will have to increase the basal maximum and reset a temporary basal rate
within the range for it to take effect.
• You may choose either specific units/hour OR a percentage of your current active basal rate.
• The active basal program will resume when the temporary basal delivery is either manually stopped or reaches
completion of duration.
• Refer to Section 11 for more information on how to set temporary basal to manage exercise or illness.

8.2 Deliver a Dual Bolus
Purpose
When
To administer a dual bolus using your Aviator Companion so that you can deliver
a bolus immediately and also trickle out insulin as the food you eat is converted into
glucose over time. The pump has the option to deliver two waves of insulin over a
period of time. This option is helpful if there are foods in your meal plan that have a
long duration and require longer periods of digestion. These foods will affect your
glucose both immediately and over a number of hours later.

want to consider a dual bolus for eating: pizza (due to the carbohydrate content of the dough plus the high fat
content of the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, etc.); appetizers at a party (such as nibbling chips or other carbohydrate foods for an extended period of time); Mexican food (the carbohydrates from chips, beans and rice plus
the protein and fat from the meat and cheese).

Administration of a Correction Bolus
This section provides detailed information related to the safe use of your companion and pump. It describes
what the companion and pump are used for and what it must NEVER be used for. Review this section
carefully. If you have any questions or concerns after reviewing this section, contact Customer Care or your
healthcare professional for assistance.
If you get two consecutive unexplainable high blood glucose readings while on pump therapy, do the
following:
Indication
The FreeStyle Aviator Insulin Delivery and Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for continuous
delivery of insulin at set and variable rates and as an aid in the management of diabetes mellitus in persons
requiring insulin. The FreeStyle Aviator System is also intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose in
fresh whole capillary blood (in vitro). The system is available by prescription only.
Contraindications
1.
If your healthcare professional plan calls for a correction bolus, follow the recommendations for
administering the correction bolus.
2.
Check for ketones, if your healthcare professional instructed you to do so.
3.
Evaluate your pump and infusion set for loose connections or insulin leakage.
4.
Check your pump programming to confirm you are receiving your expected basal rate dose.
5.
Check bolus history to ensure you have received your last several boluses.
6.
Check your daily total insulin amount to make sure that you are on track with the amount of insulin you
have been using.
7.
Inspect your tubing for air bubbles. Check to see if it is connected to your site correctly and that your site
has NOT accidentally become dislodged.
8.
Evaluate other causes of unexpected high blood sugars:
The Aviator System is NOT intended for:
•
•
•
•
•
People who are unwilling to consistently test their blood glucose levels at least 4 times a day.
• Are you sick?
• Have you had a change in your physical condition (pain, menses, surgery, illness)?
• Has your insulin been exposed to higher temperatures in the day or hours leading up to these higher
People who are unwilling to self-insert an infusion set every 2-3 days.
People who don’t want to work closely with their healthcare professional.
People whose vision is impaired to the point where they CANNOT read the companion or pump’s screen.
levels?
People whose hearing is impaired to the point where they CANNOT hear the companion or pump’s alarms.
• Have you recently started taking a medication that could be causing your blood sugar to be high?
• Have you encountered additional personal or physical stress in the hours leading up to this episode?
Blood Glucose Testing
Your blood glucose levels should stay within the range determined by you and your healthcare professional.
It is extremely important that you check your blood glucose levels regularly and often while using your
insulin pump. In addition to this ongoing testing, your blood glucose level must also be tested:
• Whenever you stop your pump’s operation for any length of time, as the insulin level in your blood will be depleted quickly and blood glucose levels will rise rapidly when the pump is stopped.
•
•
•
•
Within 1-3 hours of replacing the insulin reservoir and/or inserting/attaching a new infusion set.
9.
If there is NO clear reason for the high blood sugars, then it is recommended that you disconnect your
infusion set from your body, throw away the set, tubing, and reservoir of insulin. Fill a new reservoir with
fresh insulin, prime your system, and reinsert a new set into a different area of your body. Continue to
measure your blood glucose levels every 1 to 3 hours after the new insertion to insure your blood glucose
levels return to your normal levels.
10. If in doubt with any step, contact your healthcare professional for guidance.
More frequently during times of illness, injury or stress.

features are listed in the table below.
Safety Feature
What It Does
To Set the Safety Feature or for
More Information
Maximum Bolus
Limits the size of your bolus, so you don’t
accidentally give yourself too much insulin in a
single bolus (protects from over-infusion).
See Section 6
Maximum Basal
Rate
Limits your basal insulin delivery, so you don’t
accidentally set a basal rate that is too high
(protects from over-infusion).
See Section 6
Bolus Calculator
Allows you to easily calculate an insulin bolus.
Clearly shows you the data used to determine
units to deliver (protects from over- or underinfusion). Also allows you to adjust a bolus.

Speaker Backups
Essentials for Safe and Effective Use
In order to use your FreeStyle Aviator System safely and effectively, you will need:
• Support from and close contact with your healthcare professional trained in the use of insulin pumps.
• A commitment to follow-up appointments for continuing care.
• An understanding of the basic principles of diabetes care.
• An understanding of basal and bolus insulin use.
• Dedication to frequent blood glucose testing: 4 or more times per day and appropriate actions based on testing
results.
• A backup plan of insulin administration, in case of interruption of pump usage.
Potential Risks Connected with Pump Therapy
Complications can arise as a result of pump therapy if you are NOT attentive to routine glucose testing and
evaluation. These risks include:
• Frequent or severe hypoglycemia.
• Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA).
• Infections where you insert your cannula for insulin delivery.
The best way to avoid any risk while using the pump is to be prepared with a written plan from your healthcare
professional to deal with each risk. Each risk has specific ways your healthcare professional can instruct you to lessen
the risk. Frequent glucose monitoring and taking action with the results will also protect you from undetected high
or low blood glucose.
235
DOC15736_Rev-A-Man.indd 235-236
Infections
Ways to avoid the potential for infection:
• Always clean the intended insertion site with soap and warm water or a solution suggested by your healthcare
professional.
• Do NOT blow on your site to help it dry after you clean it. You may transfer germs from your mouth and/or lungs
onto your skin. These germs then enter your skin when you insert the cannula.
• Be diligent in changing your infusion set at least every 3 days. Do NOT use your infusion set for long periods of
time. This will increase your chance for infection and may potentially eliminate the site from future use.
Other points about your infusion site:
• Select infusion sites away from scarred or infected areas, and rotate infusion site locations regularly.
• When you remove your infusion set, there may be some clear drainage or a small “bump” under the surface of
•
•
•
•
the skin where the cannula is inserted. The bump should heal and go away over a few days. If it becomes worse,
check with your healthcare professional for any infection.
Your infusion site should never have any type of cloudy, smelly, or colored drainage.
There may be slight redness around the site from your adhesive tape but there should NOT be a ring of reddened skin around the infusion site.
Your site should NOT be tender or hurt. If you notice any drainage, redness, hot to the touch, tenderness or
lumps at the infusion site, you need to contact your healthcare professional immediately. They will help you address the problem quickly so you avoid additional problems of infection moving to another area of tissue. Most
commonly, a mild antibiotic is prescribed to help cure the infection.
When inserting a new infusion set, avoid inserting within 2 inches of a site that had been infected. Failure to do
so could result in further infection, DKA and/or high blood glucose due to absorption issues. If you have questions, contact your healthcare professional.
Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose level falls below the lower limit of your
established safe blood glucose range. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include:
• Feeling light-headed, dizzy, confused, sleepy, weak, nervous, and/or hungry.
• Shakiness.
• Excessive perspiration.
Common causes of hypoglycemia include:
•
•
•
•
Too much insulin.
Skipping a meal (or eating a meal that is smaller than you anticipated).
Heavy exercise or a higher-than-normal activity level.
Excessive consumption of alcohol.
236
2/9/09 11:29:54 AM
Section 11: Manage Your Diabetes Safely
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of hypoglycemia, you should test your blood glucose level. If it is below
your lower blood glucose target, follow the “Rule of 15.”
1. Eat approximately 15 grams of simple carbohydrate (1/2 cup fruit juice or sweetened soda, 3-4 glucose
tablets or glucose gel). NO fat should be in the foods used to treat hypoglycemia to make them fast to
absorb.
2. Wait 15 minutes and then check your blood glucose level again.
3. If your blood glucose level is still too low, repeat steps 1 and 2 until your blood glucose level measures
within your acceptable range.
4. Once your blood glucose level is normalized, resume your usual meal and snack schedule. If you will NOT be
eating a meal within an hour, you should consider having a snack.
Severe hypoglycemia may require an injection of the hormone glucagon. You should have a Glucagon Emergency
Kit as part of your emergency kit. Your entire emergency kit should be kept with you at all times. You should let
family members, co-workers, and close friends know where it is and how to use it. Ask your healthcare professional
how to use glucagon.
Note: You should talk with your healthcare professional if you are experiencing hypoglycemia frequently.
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose level is higher than the upper limit of
the blood glucose range set by you and your healthcare professional.
Possible symptoms of hyperglycemia are:
• An increased hunger or thirst.
• A need to urinate frequently.
• Blurred vision.
Possible reasons for hyperglycemia are:
1. Interrupted insulin delivery due to:
• Occlusion in the tubing or infusion set.
• The tubing has tangles or kinks.
• The insulin reservoir is empty.
• The infusion set or cannula is dislodged.
2. Under delivery of insulin.
• Check to see if you are receiving your expected basal rate dose.
• Check your bolus history.
• Check your total daily insulin delivered.
• Your basal or bolus doses may need to be adjusted.
3. Eating more carbohydrates than you anticipated or was aware of.
4. Illness, infection, stress, menses, less activity or exercise.
237
DOC15736_Rev-A-Man.indd 237-238
Section 11: Manage Your Diabetes Safely
5. Insulin has gone bad (e.g. exposed to high temperature, expired.)
6. Taking a medication that raises blood glucose. (Check with your healthcare professional or pharmacist).
Possible interventions:
• Use your pump to administer a correction bolus (see Section 8). Test your blood glucose level again after an
hour.
• If you think the companion or pump is NOT functioning properly, you need to disconnect from the pump and
administer insulin using an alternate delivery method. Call Customer Care to report the problem with your
pump.
• If you think there is a problem with the tubing or infusion set, remove the old infusion set from the pump and
replace with a new infusion set. Follow the instructions for priming and reinsertion (See Section 2.4 and your
infusion set’s Instructions for Use).
• If you are unable to determine the reason for your hyperglycemia and are unable to correct it, call your healthcare professional.
• If your blood glucose level is very high, you should check your urine or blood for ketones and follow the advice
of your healthcare professional.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) can develop if your blood glucose levels have been too high for a period of time.
DKA is different from hyperglycemia in that in addition to an elevated blood glucose level, your body is
producing ketones, which change the pH (acidity) of your blood.
DKA is extremely serious, and requires immediate treatment by your healthcare professional. Contact your
healthcare professional immediately if you suspect DKA. DKA can be life threatening.
How long it takes to develop DKA is based on the individual. No matter what your particular situation, once insulin
delivery stops (from a clog, dislocation of your infusion set, disconnecting and forgetting to reconnect), within 3-5
hours (the duration of action of the insulin used in your pump) you will be insulin deficient.
If you do NOT restore insulin delivery, you are at risk of even higher blood glucose levels and the development of
ketones, which, if left untreated, can lead to the life-threatening consequences of DKA.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that any time you discover insulin delivery has been disrupted, you should immediately test
your urine or blood for ketones.
Follow the plan you and your healthcare provider have designed.
Symptoms of DKA, which can be mistaken for flu-like symptoms, include:
• Headache.
• Stomach ache.
• Fruity odor on breath.
• Very dry mouth.
• Shortness of breath.
• Nausea/vomiting.
238
2/9/09 11:29:55 AM
Section 11: Manage Your Diabetes Safely
Section 12: Appendices
Appendix A: Table of Settings
Possible causes of DKA include:
• Improper use of insulin.
• Infection or illness.
• Stress.
How Exercise Affects Blood Glucose Levels
Your risk of DKA is lessened if you follow these guidelines:
• Work with your healthcare professional to make sure your pump is programmed properly, that you know how to
use your pump, and that your selected bolus and basal insulin doses are appropriate.
• Always have insulin and reservoirs available.
• Keep your emergency kit with backup insulin supplies with you at all times.
• Monitor your blood glucose level closely when you are ill or during periods of high activity or stress.
Your insulin pump can be programmed with a basal insulin pattern or a temporary basal rate that can be used on
days you are exercising (see Section 7.6). You may want to talk with your healthcare professional about this option
or any other questions you may have about how exercise affects your blood glucose levels and insulin needs. In
addition, there are other resources that may be helpful to understand the impact of exercise on your diabetes. See
the Resources section of this User Guide for additional resources on exercise and diabetes.
Exercise can help lower blood glucose levels. The more active you are, the more dramatic this lowering will be. When
starting or stopping an exercise program (or increasing or decreasing your level of activity), you may have to adjust
your basal rates. Your food intake may also need to be adjusted.
Talk with your healthcare professional if you have any questions about DKA or what you can do to prevent it.
How Illness Affects Blood Glucose Levels
Infection or illness is usually accompanied by higher than normal blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). Your
insulin needs will most likely increase when you are ill. Follow these guidelines:
• Insulin must be taken when you are ill; contact your healthcare professional for specific advice, but do NOT stop
taking basal insulin, even if you feel too sick to eat.
• Check your blood glucose level every 2-4 hours.
• Check your blood or urine for ketones;
Your insulin pump can be programmed with a basal insulin pattern that can be used when you are ill (see Section
7); you may want to talk with your healthcare professional about this option.
Sick Day Management
When you are sick, your body’s stress level increases. The body produces hormones to help fight off the sickness.
However, there are side effects: blood glucose levels increase and insulin’s ability to lower blood glucose levels
decrease. In this situation, blood glucose levels are much more difficult to keep in your target range, which could
lead to DKA.
You need to plan ahead, work with your healthcare professional, and prepare a sick day plan in advance. The
plan should include:
• When to call your healthcare team.
• How often to test blood glucose.
• When and how often to test for ketones.
• What medicines to take.
• A plan for eating.
• Contact numbers for your healthcare team.
239
DOC15736_Rev-A-Man.indd 239-240
Your Daily Kit
•
You must have a backup plan in case something goes wrong with your pump or you have a medical
emergency. Keep a daily kit with you at all times. Let family members, co-workers, and close friends know
where it is and how to use it. Your kit should include:
• Blood glucose monitoring supplies.
• Ketone monitoring supplies.
• Glucose tablets/gel or liquid or other sources of carbohydrate to treat a low glucose.
• A Glucagon Emergency Kit (Glucagon Emergency Kits have an expiration date; check frequently to make sure
your kit has NOT expired).
• An extra insulin infusion set.
• An extra unopened pump reservoir.
• An extra AAA alkaline battery.
• Dressings and adhesives.
• Spare battery cap.
• Insulin syringe and short or rapid-acting insulin vial or insulin pen. Remember, insulin is sensitive to temperature
extremes. Replace your spare insulin monthly.
Discontinuing Pump Use
If you and your healthcare professional determine that stopping pump therapy makes sense, you must be prepared
to switch to an alternate insulin therapy method.
Medical Procedures
You may need to suspend pump use for/during certain medical procedures. Keep these points in mind:
• Do NOT expose your companion or pump to MRI, X-ray, CAT scan, or ultrasound equipment. ALWAYS disconnect your companion and pump and store it away from the machines. Do NOT bring the companion and/or
pump into the procedure room at any time.
• Talk with your healthcare professional about whether or NOT you should use your pump during outpatient procedures, hospitalizations, surgeries, or ER visits.

At the minimum rate of 0.05 U/h (0.0005 mL/h), setup errors associated with the IEC 60602-2-24 test are too large
to accurately determine the flow rate of the pump. An alternate test method was used which determines delivery
accuracy by analyzing the movement of drive motor, as reported by an encoder on the motor shaft. Actual insulin
flow rate may be less accurate.
This graph shows the calculated flow rate during the stabilization period. Encoder data was collected at a basal rate

This section documents the Aviator Pumps alarm priorities in accordance with the 60601-1-8:2006 - `Medical
electrical equipment - General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard:
General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and
medical electrical systems.’
HOME
All of the Aviator Pump alarms are classified as MEDIUM PRIORITY per the 60601-1-8:2006 collateral safety standard.
Failure to respond to the cause of an Aviator alarm condition may potentially result in adverse medical conditions
(including death or irreversible injury) over an extended time period.
While an alarm is active, insulin delivery is stopped. Therefore, it is important that you to respond to all alarms
without delay. Possible Aviator alarms are:
· Inactivity Alarm
· Reservoir Alarm
· No insulin alarm
· Occlusion alarm
