CHAPTER 9
Alarms, Notications, and Other
Messages
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 hyperglycemia.
If you need to return the PDM for replacement, contact your healthcare
provider for instructions about using injections.
e Omnipod® System generates the following types of alarms and messages:
• Hazard alarms are high priority alarms that indicate a serious problem has
occurred and the Pod must be removed.
• Advisory alarms are low priority alarms that indicate that a situation exists
that needs your attention.
• Notications remind you about an action you may want to perform.
• Informational beeps are informational only; no action is needed.
• Communication failures occur when the PDM is unable to communicate
with the Pod.
• BG meter errors occur when the built-in BG meter cannot perform an
accurate test.
To make you aware of an alarm, notication, or other message, the Pod sounds a
tone and the PDM can sound a tone or vibrate. e PDM can also display an on-
screen message. is chapter explains these sounds and messages.
To check whether sounds and vibrations are functioning properly, see page 63.
Priority of alarms, notications, and informational beeps
Hazard alarms take priority over advisory alarms. Advisory alarms take priority
over notications and informational beeps. If multiple advisory alarm events
occur, their messages are delivered in the order in which they occur. If multiple
notications occur, their messages are also delivered in the order in which they
occur.
