Saving your settings

There are a few ways to save your pump settings for future use. The Save Settings feature lets you keep a set of pump settings that you can restore to your pump if it is cleared or you need to go back to these settings for any reason. In addition to the Save Settings feature in your pump, Medtronic has an “Insulin Pump Settings Form” that you can use to record your settings. This form is available for the MiniMedTM 530G system and MiniMedTM ParadigmTM REAL-Time RevelTM system.

These guides also assist you when you need or want to replace your insulin pump. They include step by step instructions for programming your replacement device. Your healthcare provider may make changes to your pump settings. To make sure you are using the most recent settings contact your healthcare provider.

Saving the current settings on your pump:

  1. Go to the UTILITIES MENU screen and select User Settings.
    Main Menu > Utilities > User Settings
  2. Hold down and press ACT.
  3. The USER SETTINGS screen is displayed with Save Settings highlighted. Press ACT.
  4. If this is the first time you have saved pump settings, go to step 5. If you have previously saved pump settings, a message displays, indicating the date of your last pump settings save. Read the instructions on the screen, then press ACT to save your current settings. You can press ESC if you want to cancel the save.
  5. The SETTINGS SAVED message displays to confirm that your current pump settings have been saved. Exit the menus.

Restoring your settings

There are several ways to restore your settings depending on how you saved them:

Option 1) Keep hard copies and/or contact your healthcare provider

Contact your healthcare provider to get your most recent pump settings. If you keep a hard copy of your settings, ensure these are the most current settings and manually re-enter your settings.

Use an "Insulin Pump Settings Form" to record your settings. This form is available for the MiniMedTM 530G system and MiniMedTM ParadigmTM REAL-Time RevelTM system.

Option 2) Use your insulin pump or CGM monitor

After you restore your settings, be sure to review them to ensure they are the most current settings. Contact your healthcare provider to confirm the correct settings if you are not sure.
