Insulin Patch Pump System

16 Alarms and
Troubleshooting
The patch pump system has a
comprehensive safety system to check if
abnormal situations require immediate
attention. The system will send
notification alarms using sound, LEDs, or
vibrations as well as provide information
on the PDA display.
The insulin pump system contains two
parts ‒ the patch 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 alarm
s (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 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 re
liably.
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.
