About this feature
Feature on the
Animas Pump
Normal Bolus
Normal Bolus
Bolus > Normal
Use this to deliver a simple bolus in units. A normal bolus is
used to cover your insulin needs.
If you do not have your Audio Bolus feature turned on, the
button on the end of your pump will function as a shortcut to
the Normal Bolus screen.
Meal bolus
ezCarb
Bolus > ezCarb
Correction Bolus
ezBG
Bolus > ezBG
Use ezCarb to deliver a bolus for Carbs and a correction, or
for Carbs alone.
Setup Wizard
I:C Ratio, ISF, and BG
Target Setup
Setup > Advanced > Screen 1
Set different I:C ratios, ISFs, and BG Targets for up to 12
different time segments each.
Extended Bolus
Combo (or Extended) Bolus
Bolus > ezCarb: In ‘Bolus Total’ Screen,
enter Bolus amount, scroll to ‘Type’ field,
change to ‘Combo’, then select ‘Go’.
In the Combo Bolus screen, adjust the duration and ratio
of Normal & Extended portions of a bolus to meet your
requirements. For example, 30% Normal and 70% Extended.
Your pump is “smart”; it will remember your last duration
and the ratio (as percentages) you programmed.
However, the last programmed Combo Bolus settings
will be cleared each time you change the battery and
suspend or prime the pump.
Prime bolus
Fill Cannula
Prime/Rewind > Fill Cannula
Enter the amount of insulin needed to fill the cannula. Refer
to the Instructions for Use included with your infusion set for
details on amounts. Insulin in your cannula is never added on
to your insulin amounts.
You will need to re-enter the Fill Cannula amount with
each infusion set change. For safety this is limited to 1u.
Insulin delived through ll cannula will not be included in
your active insulin.
Use ezBG to deliver a correction bolus.
In ezCarb and ezBG you can edit (change) your I:C ratio,
ISF, and/or BG target right on the screen. This will not
change the default values you entered during Advanced
Setup. To change permanently, you would need to
reprogram in the Advanced Setup.
You can find out how much insulin is on board anytime you
want by looking in the status feature on your pump (Status
Screen 2).

Setup > Advanced > Screen 8
If activated, IOB will keep track of any bolus doses that you
take and will let you know how much of that bolus is still
working to lower your BG.
IOB is also displayed on the CGM Data screen. When in
sleep mode, pressing the Contrast button/CGM shortcut
will awaken the pump to the CGM Data screen if it was the
last displayed screen.
Your pump is constantly tracking Insulin on Board,
so when you turn on the feature, your pump will
immediately take into account the current amount
remaining from previous bolus doses within the time
frame you have selected during set up of the feature.
Turn the Insulin on Board (indicated by “IOB” on the screen)
feature on or off.
Select the duration from 1.5 to 6.5 hours in half-hour increments.

the back of the pump. To download data
suspend pump.
* All Pod operations are programmed and controlled through the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM)
The pump is able to use basal increments as low as 0.025
U/hr at all rates.
The Home screen will show if your Temp Basal is active,
the percentage change, the duration, and how much time
is left.
You can choose to turn sound ON or OFF for temp basal
in Setup. If you turned ON the Temp Basal sound, your
pump will beep once every 30 minutes to remind you of
TempBasal status.
This selection allows you to access and program your basal
rate. Each basal program can be set with up to 12 different
basal rates (doses) in a 24-hour period.
4 programmes: Weekday, Weekend, Exercise and Other.
To Select either 1 basal program or 4 basal programs go to
Setup > Advanced > Screen 2. This selection allows you to
access and program your basal rate. Each basal program can
be set with up to 12 different basal rates (doses) in a 24-hour
period.
This selection stops all insulin deliveries and resume restarts
basal delivery.
You can set your pump to detect a blockage with high
sensitivity (H) or low sensitivity (L).

Temp Basal
You can decrease your basal rate by 90% (in 10% decrements)
or increase your basal rate by 200% (in 10% increments). You
can also set to OFF. You can set the duration up to 24 hours
in half-hour increments. In the Temp Basal screen, enter the
desired percentage change and duration. For example, to
decrease basal rate by 10% (ie. 90% temp basal), enter -10%. To
increase basal rate by 10% (ie. 110% temp basal), enter +10%
Carbs and Cals food list available to download using Diasend.
Up to 500 food items available.
To add a time segment between others there is no
need to delete, the pump automatically puts it into
chronological order.
This feature allows you to stop and restart delivery quickly
and easily. It also cancels delivery of any Temp Basal or
Bolus, including Combo Bolus that may be currently active.
In suspend mode a repetitive alarm will occure warning that
no insulin is currently delivered since pump is suspended.
The sensitivity level refers to how quickly the pump will sense
back pressure from an occlusion in the infusion line, with H
meaning “more sensitive” and L meaning “less sensitive”.
Your pump will automtically alert you, when it detects an
occlusion and stop all insulin delivieries.
Suspend to download to Diasend®. Diasend® is a web-based
diabetes management system that allows you to store, review,
