Alarms
Alarms require your immediate attention (see page 160). If you ignore an alarm,
you could develop hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. When an alarm occurs, the
Pod will beep and the Omnipod 5 App will beep or vibrate if sound/vibrate is on.
Hazard alarms ( ) alert you to a problem with your insulin delivery, Pod, or
Omnipod 5 App that requires immediate attention to resolve. Hazard alarms are
accompanied by a continuous tone from the Pod and tone/vibration from the
Controller or smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App. Hazard alarms interrupt
anything else the Omnipod 5 App 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 Omnipod 5 App or Pod
that will need your attention in the near future. For example, if the level of insulin
in your Pod is getting low, the Omnipod 5 App issues an advisory alarm.
Action Item notications
Action item notications (see page 176) are tasks that should be responded to
as soon as possible. Action item notications are related to changes you may
have made to your Omnipod 5 App that could aect safe use of the system. For
example, a Turn on Bluetooth action item means Bluetooth wireless technology
has been shut o and your App is no longer communicating with your Pod.
Reminder notications
Reminder notications ( ) remind you about actions you may want to perform
(see "13.11. Reminder Notications List" on page 199). For example, Check BG
