Chapter 14 Safety System and Alarms
Alerts, Warnings and Alarms
Your Animas pump has a progressive Warnings and Alarms safety system. This means if you
do not confirm the Warning or Alarm, it will progress to the sweep alarm with vibrate
within one hour. At the high volume stage, if you do not confirm the Warning or Alarm,
the sweep alarm will begin and will not stop until appropriate action is taken.
Note: Your pump uses battery power to notify you of reminders, alerts, warnings and
alarms. If you do not confirm the notification, your pump will continue to use battery
power as the notifications repeat and progress. This will result in reduced battery life and
the Replace Battery Alarm screen appearing sooner than expected.
Additionally, certain warnings (e.g., Empty Cartridge Alarm) take precedence over less
critical ones (e.g., Low Battery Warning). This means if you do not confirm the more
critical warning, battery life will be reduced and your pump may skip the Low Battery
Warning and go directly to the Replace Battery Alarm, or the battery life will end before a
Replace Battery Alarm is displayed.
Alerts are automatically displayed to remind you of a function that you’ve set or a condition
that exists. Warnings are triggered for a variety of reasons. They require you to confirm
the warning by pressing OK and/or taking action to address the warning.
Alarms are triggered by several conditions. All require you to address the alarm by taking
appropriate action in order to clear the alarm condition.
