10 Alarms, Notications, Communication Errors
You can prevent these hazard alarms by responding to their advisory alarm in a
timely manner.
Note: As an extra alert, a Pod Expiration ( ) notication precedes the Pod
Expired advisory alarm.
Sounds and Vibrations
e Omnipod DASH™ System uses sounds and vibrations to attract your
attention to an alarm or notication.
Tip: To test the sounds and vibrations, see "Check alarms" on page 105.
Pod alarms
e Pod sounds an alarm tone when it detects a problem that can aect insulin
delivery.
• Pod hazard alarm tones are continuous tones broken up periodically by a set
of beeps.
• Pod advisory alarms and notications tones are intermittent beeps, which
repeat periodically until you acknowledge them.
PDM alarms
e PDM sounds an alarm tone in response to an internal problem or when it
detects that a Pod alarm is occurring.
• PDM hazard alarms begin with a continuous vibration and, aer
approximately 1.5 minutes, add a continuous audible tone.
For safety reasons, PDM alarms always progress to an audible alarm even if
the Sound/vibrate mode is set to vibrate.
• PDM advisory alarms are intermittent tones, which repeat periodically until
you acknowledge them.
• PDM notications have intermittent vibrations or tones, which repeat
periodically until you acknowledge them.
See "Timing of alarms originating in the Pod" on page 146 for more information.
