Alarms and Alerts
• • • • • •
Your Paradigm pump has a sophisticated network of safety checks and systems.
If the safety network detects anything unusual, your pump alerts you to problems that require your immediate attention. The back- light will illuminate the pump screen and the alarm message will be shown.
Alarms
All alarms will gradually become higher in pitch until turned off. If using the vibrate mode, all alarms and alerts will start as vibra- tions. For alarms, if there is no response after three (3) minutes, they will become beeps, and then sirens.
For your safety, if alarms are not cleared within 10 minutes, your pump will siren every minute. To clear this alarm, wait until the siren has finished sounding, read the text on the screen, then press ESC and ACT.
All Attention alarms indicate that
INSULIN DELIVERY HAS BEEN STOPPED.
