PDM Messages to You
e PDM can deliver alarm messages, notications, and conrmation messages.
Alarms
Hazard alarms and advisory alarms require your immediate attention (see
"Alarms, Notications, and Communication Errors" on page 121). If you ignore
an alarm, you could develop hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Hazard alarms ( ) are accompanied by a continuous vibration or tone and
interrupt anything else the PDM is doing except another hazard alarm. For
example, a hazard alarm is issued if the Pod runs out of insulin.
Advisory alarms ( ) alert you to some aspect of the PDM or Pod that needs
your attention in the near future. For example, if the level of insulin in your Pod is
getting low, the PDM issues an advisory alarm.
Notications
Notications ( ) remind you about actions you may want to perform (see
"Notications List" on page 129). For example, you can set a reminder to tell you to
measure your blood glucose aer a specied amount of time.
