10 Alarms, Notifications, Communication Errors
Priority and Predictability of Alarms and Notifications
Hazard alarms take priority over advisory alarms. In general, only one hazard
alarm can occur at a time. In the unlikely event that a Pod and PDM hazard alarm
occur simultaneously, the PDM hazard alarm is displayed first.
Advisory alarms take priority over notifications. If multiple advisory alarms occur,
the PDM displays the most recent message first.
The following advisory alarms always precede a hazard alarm:
Advisory alarm Hazard alarm
Pod Expired
→
Pod Expired
Low Reservoir
→
Empty Reservoir
Auto-off alert
→
Auto-off
You can prevent these hazard alarms by responding to their advisory alarm in a
timely manner.
Note:
As an extra alert, a Pod Expiry ( ) notification precedes the Pod Expired
advisory alarm.
Sounds and Vibrations
The Omnipod DASH™ System uses sounds and vibrations to attract your
attention to an alarm or notification.
Tip:
To test the sounds and vibrations, see “Check alarms” on page 97.
Pod alarms
The Pod sounds an alarm tone when it detects a problem that can affect insulin
delivery.
• Pod hazard alarm tones are continuous tones broken up periodically by a set
of beeps.
• Pod advisory alarms and notifications tones are intermittent beeps, which
repeat periodically until you acknowledge them.
