Alerts and Alarms
n
Safety Checks
The mylife OmniPod System has a very important safety feature:
It can check its own functions automatically and alert you when
something needs attention. When you turn on the Personal Dia-
betes Manager (PDM), the System automatically performs
a series of safety checks. (Refer to Page 54 for detailed instruc-
tions. The
ID
screen must be confirmed before you can check
Pod status.) To make you aware of a serious or potentially serious
condition, the System sounds an alarm and displays an on-
screen message. The message has instructions for taking care of
the alarm condition. Alarm conditions are easy to handle. They
are not a problem if you attend to them promptly.
n
Blood Glucose Meter Alerts
These alerts let you know about an error in the blood glucose
meter, test strip, sample, or results. The PDM beeps and displays
an error message number, as in Figure 10-1.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent
with your blood glucose test and you have followed
all instructions described in this
User Guide
, call your
healthcare professional.
