CHAPTER 10
Alarms, Notications and
Communication Errors
Overview
Warnings:
Respond to hazard alarms as soon as possible. Pod hazard alarms indicate
that insulin delivery has stopped. Failure to respond to a hazard alarm can
result in hyperglycaemia.
If you need to return the PDM for replacement, contact your healthcare
provider for instructions about using injections to ensure appropriate insulin
delivery.
e Omnipod DASH™ System generates the following types of alarms and
messages:
Hazard alarms are high-priority alarms that indicate a serious problem has
occurred and you should remove your Pod.
Advisory alarms are lower-priority alarms that indicate that a situation exists
that requires your attention.
Notications, also called reminders, remind you about an action that you
may want to perform.
• Informational signals inform you that the Pod is following your insulin
delivery instructions. No action is required.
• Communication error messages display when the PDM is unable to
communicate with the Pod.
For how to view the alarms and notications history, see page 83.
