Alarms
Y
our 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 message displays on the screen.
It is important that you understand how your pump behaves when you do not clear an alarm or an alert.
See the Alerts section if this chapter for an explanation and an example.
Check your pump and test your blood sugar. Follow the guidelines prescribed by your healthcare
professional to manage your diabetes as needed.
NOTE: The ST
ATUS screen shows any alarms and alerts that are active.
Question:
Why are alarms important?
Answer: 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.
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 10 minutes, the beeps change to a siren. The siren continues every
minute until the alarm is cleared.
What to do
When an alarm is triggered, the pump goes into Attention mode and an alarm message shows on the
screen. The pump then defaults to the HOME screen. Do these steps when you get an alarm:
1 View the alarm: From the HOME screen, press any button to see the alarm message.
2
Read all of the alarm text. There are instructions on how to fix the alarm condition. (Press
to
read more text, if available.)
3 Clear the alarm. Press ESC then ACT after you read the alarm instructions.
4 The HOME screen appears.
5 Follow the instructions that appeared with the alarm to fix the alarm condition.
6 Check your settings. Check your time, date, basal and other settings to make sure they are correct.
