alarms
An alarm is a notification to make you aware of
serious, or possibly serious, conditions.
When an alarm goes off, your PDM will display a
message with instructions on what to do. If you
ignore an alarm, your Pod could be deactivated—
so be sure to respond to alarms promptly.
There are 2 types of alarms:
advisory
alarms and
hazard
alarms.
Advisory alarms
Advisory alarms beep intermittently to let you know
about a condition that requires your attention.
When you hear an advisory alarm, turn on your
PDM to see the Status screen. A message will
appear describing the alarm and telling you what
to do next.
It’s important to resolve an advisory alarm as
quickly as possible. If you wait too long to address
the alarm, it can escalate to a hazard alarm.
Hazard alarms
Hazard alarms are a continuous tone to let you
know when the Pod is in a very serious condition
or something is wrong with the PDM.
When a hazard alarm goes off, all insulin delivery
stops. To avoid hyperglycemia, it’s very important
to follow the instructions on your PDM to resolve
the issue quickly:
Step 1:
Press
OK
on your PDM to silence the alarm
Step 2:
Deactivate and remove your current Pod
Step 3:
Activate and apply a new Po
