1 Omnipod DASH™ Insulin Management System
PDM Messages to You
The PDM can deliver alarm messages, notifications, and confirmation messages.
Alarms
Hazard alarms and advisory alarms require your immediate attention (see
"Alarms, Notifications, and Communication Errors" on page 121). If you ignore
an alarm, you could develop hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Hazard alarms (
) are accompanied by a continuous vibration or tone and
interrupt anything else the PDM is doing except another hazard alarm. For
example, a hazard alarm is issued if the Pod runs out of insulin.
Advisory alarms (
) alert you to some aspect of the PDM or Pod that needs
your attention in the near future. For example, if the level of insulin in your Pod is
getting low, the PDM issues an advisory alarm.
Notifications
Notifications (
) remind you about actions you may want to perform (see
"Notifications List" on page 129). For example, you can set a reminder to tell you to
measure your blood glucose after a specified amount of time.
Confirmation Messages
The PDM confirms that an instruction was
successful by displaying a green banner with
a confirmation message. The confirmation
message disappears after several seconds.
Tip: Swipe to the right on the message to
dismiss it sooner.
If an instruction is not successful, then the
PDM displays a communication error
message (see "Communication Errors" on
page 132).
