CUSTOMISING REMINDERS AND ALERTS
Get to know your Omnipod
System reminders.
A reminder is a notification you can turn on
or off at any time and customise to fit your
needs. Your Omnipod ® System has a number
of different reminders:
+ Blood glucose (BG) reminders
Programme your Personal Diabetes Manager
(PDM) to remind you to check your blood sugar
levels every time you deliver a bolus dose.
+ Bolus reminders
Your PDM can remind you if you haven't delivered
a meal bolus within a specific time frame.
+ Programme reminders
Your Pod will automatically beep to let you know
that a temporary basal and/or extended bolus
programme is in process.
+ Confidence reminders
Your PDM is preset to beep and therefore,
you can know when certain programmes have
started and finished, including:
– Bolus delivery
– Extended bolus
– Temporary basal
+ Custom reminders
Enter text reminders into your PDM to be
delivered when you want them.
WARNING:
+ The Low reservoir alert will escalate to an Empty reservoir hazard alarm when insulin is depleted. Be sure to respond to alert when it first occurs.
+ The Auto-off alert 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.

System alerts.
An alert is a notification you can adjust based on
your needs. There are 4 different kinds of alerts on
your Omnipod
+ Pod expiration alerts
When your Pod is about to expire (nearing the
72 hour expiration time), 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 alerts
So you can plan ahead to change your Pod
and make sure you have enough insulin; your
Pod will alert you when your insulin reaches
a certain level.
+ Auto-off alerts
Programme your PDM to alert you if it hasn't
received a Pod status within 1 to 24 hours.
+ Blood glucose meter alerts
If there is an error with your blood glucose meter,
test strip, sample or results, your PDM will beep
and display an error message number. To learn
more about addressing specific error messages,
Alerts and Alarms, refer to your Omnipod
System User Guide.
