Priority and Predictability of Alarms and Notications
Hazard alarms take priority over advisory alarms. In general, only one hazard
alarm can occur at a time. In the unlikely event that a Pod and PDM hazard alarm
occur simultaneously, the PDM hazard alarm is displayed rst.
Advisory alarms take priority over notications. If multiple advisory alarms occur,
the PDM displays the most recent message rst.
e following advisory alarms always precede a hazard alarm:
Advisory alarm Hazard alarm
Pod Expired
→
Pod Expired
Low Reservoir
→
Empty Reservoir
Auto-o alert
→
Auto-o
You can prevent these hazard alarms by responding to their advisory alarm in a
timely manner.
Note: As an extra alert, a Pod Expiry ( ) notication precedes the Pod Expired
advisory alarm.
Sounds and Vibrations
e Omnipod DASH™ System uses sounds and vibrations to attract your
attention to an alarm or notication.
Tip: To test the sounds and vibrations, see “Check alarms” on page 97.
Pod alarms
e Pod sounds an alarm tone when it detects a problem that can aect insulin
delivery.
• Pod hazard alarm tones are continuous tones broken up periodically by a set
of beeps.
• Pod advisory alarms and notications tones are intermittent beeps, which
repeat periodically until you acknowledge them.
