OK so i was told to put batteries in my new pump and have a "mess" with it before I go onto it on Monday... Started out on a bit of a blip - took me 20mins to set the date and time due... it didnt do it the way it told me to in the manual... NOW trying to do a practice run to program a 2unit normal bolus and it's stuck on a rewind screen which the book says im not allowed to do or it will go out of practice mode!!!!! i cant get it off!!!
Hi
Don't panick,
Don't know if you've now been able to sort the pump out but if not, put the pump into START mode again and then you'll be able to bolus some saline. You've probably accidentally put the pump into STOP mode as it is only from that menu that you will get the Rewind option which you don't really want to do as then you will need to probably do a cartridge change.
If you can't get out of the Rewind screen just take out the pump battery and wait for about 15mins before re inserting it again and then things should hopefully go back to normal again. If not, just phone the pump manufacturer and get them to guide through what to do.
For a few weeks, you will need to look at the instruction manual for the pump and follow the guide to cartridge changing, setting the time etc, putting an infusion set in and priming.
When I first got my pump hooked up to insulin, I tried to remember everything the pump rep told me but needed to get out the manual and follow the guides :lol:
Just take your time and try to do stuff to the pump when you're not distracted by your kids etc. :wink:
