WARNING: If you receive a critical error on your pump, the
following screen displays and the pump sirens.
Immediately disconnect from your insulin pump and discontinue
use. Contact your local representative for assistance.
Remember, your body still needs insulin while your pump is
removed. It is important that you consult your healthcare
professional to determine an alternate method of receiving insulin
while your pump is removed.
Alarms
An alarm warns you that the pump detected
something that prevents insulin from being
delivered. It is important that you respond to an
alarm.
WARNING: Do not ignore your pump
when it has an alarm because all
insulin delivery is stopped, which may
lead to high blood glucose and
ketoacidosis.
When an alarm occurs:
Display: The pump displays a notification with a red icon and instructions.
Notification light: The red notification light blinks twice, followed by a pause, in a
continuous repeating pattern. The notification light is shown in Using the buttons,
on page 20.

Audio: Depending on your Audio Options settings, the pump emits an alarm tone,
a continuous three-pulse-and-pause vibration pattern, or both the alarm tone and
vibration.
You must resolve the underlying problem that triggered the alarm. In most cases,
you clear an alarm by pressing and then you make a selection. In some cases,
however, clearing the alarm does not fix the underlying problem. The alarm
repeats until the underlying problem is fixed.
If you do not respond to an alarm, after ten minutes the alarm tone escalates to a
loud emergency siren. For more information, see Alarm and alert escalation, on
page 247.
Alerts
An alert makes you aware of a situation that may
require your attention. An alert is less serious than
an alarm.
When an alert occurs:
Display: The pump displays a notification with a
yellow icon and instructions.
Notification light: The red notification light on your pump blinks once, followed
by a pause, then blinks once again in a continuous repeating pattern. The
notification light is shown in Using the buttons, on page 20.
Audio: Depending on your Audio Options settings, the pump either beeps or
vibrates in a continuous three-pulse-and-pause pattern, or does both.
To clear an alert, press and then make a selection. If you do not respond to an
alert, the pump beeps every five minutes or every fifteen minutes, depending on
the alert. Some alerts will also escalate to a loud emergency siren after ten
minutes. For more information, see Alarm and alert escalation, on page 247.
Note: If an alert occurs when you are in a screen other than the Home
screen, the alert message may appear after you return to the Home
screen.

Messages
A message informs you about the status of your
pump or if you need to make a decision.
When a message occurs:
Display: The pump displays a notification with a
blue icon and instructions.
Notification light: Does not illuminate or blink.
Audio: Depending on the message, the pump emits a message tone, an alert
tone, or no tone. Depending on your Audio Options settings, you may hear a tone,
feel a one-pulse-only vibration, or hear a tone and feel a vibration.
You clear the message by pressing and make a selection.

This chapter contains procedures and information to help you understand and
address conditions that might occur with your pump.
For a list of alarms, alerts, and messages that may appear on your pump, see Pump
alarms, alerts, and messages, on page 202.
Troubleshooting pump issues
WARNING: If you receive a critical error on your pump, the
following screen displays and the pump sirens.
Immediately disconnect from your insulin pump and discontinue
use. Contact your local representative for assistance.
Remember, your body still needs insulin while your pump is
removed. It is important that you consult your healthcare
professional to determine an alternate method of receiving insulin
while your pump is removed.

What is a Check Settings alarm?
This alarm occurs when a condition causes your pump to reset to factory settings.
You see this alarm after your pump guides you through re-entering the Startup
Wizard settings.
The Check Settings alarm is letting you know that other settings may have been
cleared or reverted to factory default values. Review any settings that you have not
already set in Startup Wizard and re-enter the values, if necessary.
My pump is asking me to rewind
WARNING: Make sure the infusion set is disconnected from your
body before you rewind your pump or fill the infusion set tubing.
Never insert the reservoir into the pump while the tubing is
connected to your body. Doing so could result in an accidental
infusion of insulin, which may cause low BG.
You always rewind your pump when changing the reservoir. Rewinding returns the
piston in the reservoir compartment to its starting position. It is normal for your
pump to ask you to rewind anytime you must remove and replace the reservoir,
such as when resolving an Insulin Flow Blocked alarm or addressing a problem
loading the reservoir.
I dropped my pump
Caution: If your pump has been dropped or you suspect your pump
is damaged, carefully inspect your pump to ensure there are no cracks
before exposing your pump to water.
Do the following:
1. Check that all connections are still tightly in place.
2. Check the display, button area, and pump case for cracks or damage.
3. Check the infusion set, including the tubing connector and tubing for cracks
or damage.
4. Review the status screen, basal rates and other pump settings.
5. Perform the Self Test procedure by going to:
230 Chapter 13
MP6025958-022 / A
RELEASED
Menu > Utilities > Self Test
For details, see Self Test, on page 145.
6. If the Self Test does not complete successfully, or if you are concerned about
your pump, call your local representative for assistance and check your BG.
I cannot get to the Manage Settings screen
If you go to Menu > Utilities > Manage Settings, a message appears telling you
that the feature is not normally accessible and to consult your user guide. To
access the Manage Settings screen:
1. Menu > Utilities > Manage Settings
2. Simultaneously press and hold and for about two seconds. The Manage
Settings screen appears. For more information, see Managing your pump
settings , on page 142.
My pump display times out too quickly
Your pump display times out after 15 seconds by default in order to conserve
battery power. You can increase this setting up to three minutes. Go to Menu >
Utilities > Display Options, and then adjust the Backlight setting as desired. For
more information, see Display Options, on page 141.
Note: Be aware that using a longer Backlight time causes your pump to
use more battery power. When your pump battery is low, the timeout for
the backlight on your pump screen is automatically reduced.
Where is my pump status screen?
1. To go to the Status screen, highlight and select the status bar at the top of

Bolus Wizard feature specifications
There are four different formulas the Bolus Wizard feature uses to estimate a bolus,
depending on your current BG. The following formulas apply only when the carb
units are in grams.
1. If your current BG is greater than your High BG Target, the Bolus Wizard
feature subtracts active insulin from the BG correction estimate, then adds this
to the food estimate to get the total bolus estimate. However, if the result of
subtracting active insulin from BG correction estimate is a negative number
(less than zero), the total bolus estimate is based only on the food estimate.

4. If you do not enter a BG, the total bolus estimate is based only on the food
estimate.
Following are some notes about using the Bolus Wizard:
• If a Dual Wave bolus is less than the estimate due to the Max Bolus limit or a
change that you make, the Square portion is reduced first.
• Based on the Active Insulin Time setting you choose, your pump keeps track
of how much insulin is still active in your body. This is shown as Active Insulin
or Act. Ins. on the Home screen, Bolus screen, Manual Bolus screen, Preset
Bolus, and Daily History screens. This prevents stacking of insulin, and lowers
the chances of hypoglycemia.
• The Bolus Wizard feature may utilize your current BG measurement,
carbohydrate consumption, and active insulin to calculate your estimated
bolus.

Wireless communication
Quality of service
The CGM transmitter and MiniMed insulin pump are associated as part of an
802.15.4 network for which the pump functions as the coordinator and the CGM
transmitter as an end node. In an adverse RF environment the MMT-1512/1712
pump will assess channel changing needs based on "noise" levels detected during

an energy scan. The pump will perform the energy scan if after 10 minutes no
CGM transmitter signal has been received. If the channel change occurs the pump
will send beacons on the new channel.
The CGM transmitter will initiate a channel search when beacon detection fails on
the associated channel. The search will be conducted across all five channels.
When the beacon is located the transmitter will rejoin on the identified channel.
Upon re-association any missed packets (up to 10 hours) will be transmitted from
the CGM transmitter to the pump.
In normal operation the CGM transmitter will transmit a packet every 5 minutes
and retransmit the packet if the data is corrupted or missed.

on your individual needs and is used to calculate bolus
amounts.
food bolus A dose of insulin you give to cover an expected rise in
glucose levels from carbohydrates.
High limit The value you set to determine when the pump will
alert you of a high sensor glucose condition.
infusion set Tubing that connects to the reservoir on one end, and
has a needle or cannula on the other end, that you
insert into your body. Insulin travels from the pump
through the infusion set into your body.
infusion site The location on the body where the infusion set is
inserted.
insulin sensitivity factor The amount that blood glucose is reduced by one unit
of insulin. The insulin sensitivity factor is used to
calculate correction bolus amounts.
interstitial fluid The fluid that surrounds the cells in the body.
ISIG The signal created by the sensor that is used to calculate
your sensor glucose value. Typically used by Medtronic
technical support representatives when troubleshooting.
lock A pump feature that prevents accidental button presses.
