Check alarms
To verify that your PDM and Pod' s alarms and vibration functions are working
properly, you can test them as follows:
1. Navigate to: Settings icon (
2. If you have an active Pod, tap SUSPEND INSULIN and tap YES.
3. Tap CHECK ALARMS to initiate the alarm check.
4. Listen and feel: The PDM beeps and vibrates three times. Then, if you are
wearing a Pod, the Pod beeps several times and sounds the alarm tone for
several seconds.
5. If the Pod alarms did not work properly, tap NO. Then either tap CHECK
AGAIN to retry testing the alarms, or tap DONE and activate a new Pod.
6. If the PDM alarms did not work properly, tap NO. Then either tap CHECK
AGAIN to retry testing the alarms or call Customer Care.
7. If the beeps and vibrations worked properly, tap YES. If you suspended insulin
to check the alarms, tap YES to resume insulin delivery.
Warning: If the PDM fails to beep, call Customer Care immediately. If an
activated Pod fails to beep, change the Pod immediately. Continuing to use
the Omnipod DASH™ System in these situations may put your health and
safety at risk.
Reset PDM
Reset PDM is a rarely used function that erases many of your personal settings.
Caution: Resetting the PDM deletes your Basal Programs, temp basal presets,
bolus presets and all Bolus Calculator settings. Before using this feature, check
with your healthcare provider and be sure you have a written record of your
current information so that you can reprogram your PDM. You will also need to
activate a new Pod after resetting your PDM.
Caution: Resetting the PDM resets your IOB to zero; however, the Bolus
Calculator is not disabled.
Note: The Reset PDM option does not delete history records.
