WARNING: If you receive a Critical pump error alarm on your
pump, the following screen displays and the pump sirens.
Immediately disconnect from your insulin pump and discontinue
use. Contact 24-Hour Technical Support for assistance.
Remember, your body still needs insulin while your pump is
removed. It is important that you consult your healthcare
professional to determine an alternate method of receiving insulin
while your pump is removed. For more information on the Critical
pump error alarm, see Pump alarms, alerts, and messages, on page 244.

Ignoring an alarm can result in
hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
When an alarm occurs:
