Pump alarms
Alarm feedback
The Alarm Feedback function allows the user to verify the Pump and Pump
alarm are operating normally. Physicians can also use Alarm Feedback to mea-
sure the time intervals between Pump strokes to verify accurate insulin delivery.
When Alarm Feedback is programmed “YES”, the Pump will beep on each of the
first five Pump strokes:
• Following a change in the delivery regimen, for example when completing
a meal Bolus and then changing to a Basal Rate, or at the start of a bolus.
• After the Alarm Feedback function is programmed “YES.” Alarm
Feedback will stay on until programmed back to “NO.”
Pump low battery
The Implantable Insulin Pump battery is designed to last approximately ten years
during conditions of normal use (see Chapter 11 for Technical Specifications).
Battery life may vary somewhat depending upon a user’s insulin delivery
requirements. When battery energy becomes low, a voltage sensor in the Pump
will trigger the Pump Low Battery Alarm. A Pump Low Battery Alarm indicates
there is approximately eight weeks of battery energy remaining.
The Pump Low Battery alarm can be cleared and the Pump will continue to oper-
ate normally. However, users should be instructed to report the alarm immedi-
ately to their physician. A Pump replacement or resumption of conventional
insulin therapy should then be scheduled.
Depleted pump battery
When there is no longer sufficient battery energy to power the Pump, the Pump
Low Battery Alarm will cease and insulin delivery will stop. Alternate insulin
therapy must be initiated.
