Programming an Extended Bolus
The Extended Bolus is available in the ADVANCED and CUSTOM user menus. The
Extended Bolus function lets you program a bolus to be delivered over a period of
time. This function is helpful during long meals, dinners, or receptions, or when
you have meals that are digested slowly. The Extended Bolus may also be
appropriate for people who have gastroparesis (delayed digestion).
The duration of bolus delivery can be programmed in 15-minute intervals up to
24 hours and begins immediately after confirmation.

Note:
You can add a Standard Bolus to an ongoing Extended Bolus. If you
cancel the Standard Bolus, the Extended Bolus continues to run.
During the delivery of an Extended Bolus, the programming of another
Extended Bolus or a MultiWave Bolus is blocked. If you want to program
a different Extended Bolus, put the pump in STOP mode to cancel the
current bolus and to program a new one.
