13.5. Responding to Alarms
Caution: AVOID leaving your Controller in a place that would prevent you
from hearing alarms and notications from your Omnipod 5 App. Delivery
of insulin in Manual Mode or Automated Mode continues as programmed if
you move away from your Controller.
Caution: AVOID setting your Controller to Silent, Vibrate or any other
setting that prevents you from hearing alarms and notications from your
Omnipod 5 App. If you do not hear alarms and notications from your
Controller, you might not make the changes you need to make to your
insulin therapy in a timely manner. Your Pod will still sound, and you will
be able see the Alarm or Notication displayed on the Omnipod 5 App.
See “13.3. Sounds and Vibrations” on page 147 to learn how to manage
sounds and vibrations.
To respond to a hazard alarm or advisory alarm:
1. Wake up your Controller. e Lock screen shows an alarm message along
with the hazard alarm (
) icon or advisory alarm ( ) icon.
2. Aer unlocking your Omnipod 5 App, follow the on-screen instructions or
see the individual alarm details starting on page 151.
Note: You can use your Omnipod 5 System even if you do not address an
advisory alarm immediately. However, you must acknowledge a hazard alarm
before you can use your Omnipod 5 System.
Tip: If you follow the Omnipod 5 App's instructions and are still not able to
silence a hazard alarm, see “13.9. Silencing Unresolved Alarms” on page 173.
Note: If a temp basal or extended bolus is running when a Pod hazard alarm
occurs, the Omnipod 5 App informs you that it was cancelled.
Timing of Pod Alarms on the Omnipod 5 App
If the Pod is sounding a hazard alarm, the Pod sends a signal to your
Omnipod 5 App.
• If the Controller is in range and awake within 25 seconds of the Pod's initial
alarm sound, your Omnipod 5 App also sounds an alarm and displays the
alarm message.
• If the Controller is in range but asleep, there could be a delay of up to
6 minutes between when the Pod sounds the alarm and when your
Omnipod 5 App sounds the alarm.
• If the Controller is out of range of the Pod, your Omnipod 5 App cannot
receive any communication from the Pod. erefore, if you hear a Pod alarm
or notication, bring your Controller in range of the Pod and wake up your
Omnipod 5 App. Within 25 seconds, your Omnipod 5 App sounds the alarm
and displays the alarm message.
