Alarms

Your pump has a sophisticated network of safety checks and systems. If the safety network detects anything unusual, your pump notifies you of conditions that require your immediate attention. The backlight illuminates the pump screen and the alarm/alert message displays on the screen.

NOTE -

The STATUS screen shows any alarms and alerts that are active.

➠ Why are alarms important?

Your pump monitors activities and notifies you if there is an unusual pump status or your attention is required. When an attention alarm is active, INSULIN DELIVERY IS STOPPED and immediate operator interaction is required.

An alarm gradually becomes higher in pitch until you turn it off. If the vibrate mode is on, all alarms and alerts start as vibrations and then change to beeps. For your safety, if there is no response after ten

(10) minutes, the beeps change to a siren. The siren continues every minute until the alarm is cleared.

when a solid circle appears, follow the instructions on the screen.
