13 Alarms, Action and Reminder Notications
13.6. Hazard Alarm List
Warning: ALWAYS respond to Hazard Alarms as soon as they occur. Pod
Hazard Alarms indicate that insulin delivery has stopped. Failure to respond
to a Hazard Alarm could result in under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to
hyperglycaemia.
Hazard alarms make you aware of serious situations. Always respond to a hazard
alarm immediately. Some alarm messages give you a unique number called a
reference number. Give that number to Customer Care if you call about that
alarm.
Blockage Detected
Warning: ALWAYS monitor your glucose and follow your healthcare
provider's treatment guidelines when you stop receiving insulin due to a

of insulin, which can lead to hyperglycaemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
