12 Understanding PDM and Pod Function
Status checks: How the PDM checks Pod function
e PDM periodically checks to see if the Pod is functioning properly. ese
"status checks" are done:
• When you turn on the PDM and press Conrm on the ID screen.
Note: Turning on the PDM by inserting a test strip into the built-in BG
meter does not trigger a status check.
• When you navigate to the Status screen
• When the PDM sends an instruction to the Pod; for example, starting or
canceling a bolus or temp basal
• Aer 30 minutes of inactivity, even if the PDM is turned o. In other words,
aer 30 minutes of inactivity, the PDM wakes itself up and sends a status
check request to the Pod.
Note: If the Pod is out of range, the PDM goes back to sleep. It does not
sound an alarm even if the Pod is sounding an alarm.
Note: If Auto-o is enabled, this 30-minute-of-inactivity status check
is disabled. is prevents the status check from resetting the Auto-o
countdown timer (see "Auto-o " on page 137).
Results of status check
During a status check, the PDM collects information from the Pod about bolus
deliveries, temp basals, the active Basal Program, reservoir volume, the time until
Pod expiration, and any alarm situations.
e PDM displays the results of the status check as follows:
• If the Pod is sounding an alarm, the PDM displays an alarm message instead
of the Status screen.
• e Status screen's header bar displays the PDM battery level and the current
Pod reservoir volume (see "e Header Bar" on page 7 ).
• e Status screen displays information about an ongoing or completed
bolus, how much insulin is currently being delivered (basal and bolus), the
Pod's expiration date and time, and any current notication.
• If the PDM cannot communicate with the Pod to complete a status check, the
PDM displays a communication error message (see "Pod Communication
Failures" on page 102).
