The PPC offers a choice of two alarms, audible and vibrate. In addition, a screen
message appears indicating the type of alarm condition that occurred.

report this alarm to their physician as soon as possible and schedule an appoint-
ment for a Pump refill.

Users should be instructed to report this alarm to their physician as soon as possi-
ble and schedule an appointment for a Pump refill. It is important not to allow the

will display the following message on the display screen:
