Chapter 16 – t:slim X2 Pump Alarms
PRECAUTION
CHECK your pump regularly for potential alarm
conditions that may display. It is important to
be aware of conditions that may affect insulin
delivery and require your attention so you can
respond as soon as possible.
Your t:slim X2 Pump lets you know
important information about the pump
with Reminders, Alerts, and Alarms. Re-
minders are displayed to notify you of
an option that you have set (for exam-
ple, a reminder to check you BG after
a bolus). Alerts display automatically to
notify you about safety conditions that
you need to know (for example, an alert
that your insulin level is low). Alarms
display automatically to let you know of
an actual or potential stopping of insulin
delivery (for example, an alarm that the
insulin cartridge is empty). Pay special
attention to Alarms.
If multiple Reminders, Alerts, and Alarms
happen at the same time, Alarms will be
displayed first, Alerts will be displayed
second, and Reminders will be dis-
played third. Each must be confirmed
separately until all have been confirmed.
Information in this section will help you
learn how to respond to Alarms.
Alarms notify you with 3 sequences of 3
notes or 3 vibrations depending on the
volume/vibrate setting selected in Pump
Volume. If not acknowledged, alarms
escalate to highest volume and vibe.
Alarms repeat regularly until the condi-
tion that caused the alarm is corrected.
