DanaR

These instructions are for configuring the app and your pump if you have a DanaR. Visit DanaRS Insulin Pump if you have the DanaRS launched in 2017 instead.

Pump capabilities with AAPS

  • Communicates with AAPS over your phone’s native Bluetooth, without an additional communication device.

  • Timezone and DST changes need no special action, as the pump does not use its own history.

Setup

  • In the pump go to Main Menu > Setting > User Option

  • Turn on “8. Extended Bolus”

DanaR pump

  • Go to Main Menu > Setting > Discovery

  • In phone settings go to Bluetooth, scan for nearby devices, select your DanaR serial number and input your password (Pairing password is 0000). If DanaR is not showing in scan then restart phone and take DanaR battery out, replace and start these two steps again.

  • In AAPS, open the menu (☰) in the top-left corner, go to Configuration > Pump and select the type of DanaR you have (DanaR, DanaR Korean or DanaRv2).

    Configuration > Pump with the DanaR plugins

  • Open the pump screen: tap Open plugin on the DanaR card (or go to Manage > Pump).

  • Tap Pairing. On the pairing screen:

    • Enter your pump password under Pump password (default password is 1234).

    • Under Select paired device, tap your DanaR serial number. If the list is empty, tap Open Bluetooth settings and pair the pump with your phone first (see the step above). When you come back to AAPS, the pump appears in the list. If it does not, tap the refresh icon.

    • Tap Pairing. AAPS connects to the pump and checks the password.

  • To change the driver settings, tap Settings on the DanaR card in Configuration > Pump:

    • Bolus speed (DanaR and DanaRv2): change the default bolus speed (12 s/U, 30 s/U or 60 s/U).

    • Use extended boluses for >200% (DanaR and DanaR Korean): enable this if you want AAPS to allow a basal rate above 200%. Note this means you cannot loop with high TBRs while using extended boluses for food.

  • Set basal step on pump to 0.01 U/h

  • Set bolus step on pump to 0.1 U. AAPS reads the bolus step from the pump and uses it for every bolus.

  • Enable extended boluses on pump
