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 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 STATUS 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.
