Hazard Alarms indicate that insulin delivery has stopped. Failure to respond

Hazard alarms make you aware of serious situations. Always respond to a hazard
alarm immediately. Some alarm messages give you a unique number called a
reference number. Give that number to Customer Care if you call about that
alarm.
