Omnipod DASH Notifications and Alarms
Advisory Alarms
An advisory alarm can be adjusted based on your needs. There are several
different kinds of advisory alarms on your Omnipod DASH System:
Advisory alarms beep intermittently to let you know about a condition that
requires your attention.
When you hear an advisory alarm, check your PDM. A message will appear
describing the alarm and telling you what to do next.
It's important to resolve an advisory alarm as quickly as possible. If you wait
too long to address the alarm, it can escalate to a hazard alarm. You can
customise your reminders and advisory alarms in settings.
For more information about advisory alarms, see Chapter 10, "Alarms, Notifications and Communication Errors" in your Omnipod DASH Insulin
Management Technical User Guide
WARNING:
• The Low reservoir advisory alarm will escalate to an Empty reservoir hazard alarm when insulin is depleted. Be sure to respond to an alert when it
first occurs.
• The Auto-off advisory alarm will escalate to a hazard alarm if ignored, and will result in the deactivation of your active Pod. Be sure to respond to the
alert when it occurs.
• Pod expired alarm
When your Pod will stop delivering insulin soon, you'll
hear 2 sets of beeps every minute for 3 minutes. This
pattern will repeat every 15 minutes until you press OK
on your PDM.
• Low reservoir advisory alarm
So you can plan ahead to change your Pod and make
sure you have enough insulin, your Pod will inform you
when your insulin reaches a certain level.
• Auto-off advisory alarm
This advises you if you have had no interaction with
your PDM in your chosen timeframe. It informs you
that you need to wake up your PDM to avoid having
your Pod deactivate due to inactivity.
