Alarms and Troubleshooting
The Wellion MICRO-PUMP system has a comprehensive safety system to check if
ab-normal situations require immediate attention. The system will send notification
alarms us-ing sound, LEDs, or vibrations as well as provide information on the PDA
display.
The insulin pump alarms are notifications of pump device errors.
The insulin pump system contains two parts – the pump detects and sends the
alarms, and the PDA receives the alarms and notifies the user.
The insulin pump system only contains medium and low priority alarms – no high
priority alarms (as defined by ISO standards).
Medium priority alarms occur when the delivery function has stopped due to
technical failure, requiring the user to intervene in the operation of the pump,
change the pump, or possibly inject insulin manually to control BG levels.
Low priority alarms occur to alert the user that something will occur in a short
period of time, but insulin delivery continues normally. Users should be aware of this
information and make plans in advance to ensure that treatment continues reliably.
Note:
There are no alarms to indicate old insulin or to detect insulin leaks. The
user should be aware if these situations happen.
Note:
If the insulin pump and PDA start up normally without alarms, the alarms
system is working properly.
Note:
If the power is lost (battery empty), the alarm records and related settings
will not be lost, even after more than 30 seconds of no power.
Note:
You cannot modify the alarm settings, including alarm volume.
