Troubleshooting and alarms
This chapter is designed to help you understand the messages that your pump is giving you when you get an
alarm or an alert message. The procedures in the beginning of this chapter are to be used when you get
specific alarms or cover a likely condition that might happen. A list of alarms is provided at the end of this
chapter.
NOTE: It is recommended that you read your warranty statement included with your pump for information
on what is covered during your warranty period.

My pump has a NO DELIVERY alarm
When a NO DELIVERY alarm occurs, it means the pump is working correctly. Your pump is not broken, but it
has detected that something is preventing insulin from being delivered. Do the following steps:
1
ಘ
Check your blood glucose and take an injection if needed.
2
ಘ
Make sure that there is insulin in your reservoir and the tubing is not kinked. If these are all right, go to
step 5.
3
ಘ
If necessary unkink the tubing. Clear the alarm by pressing ESC and ACT. A screen will appear with two
choices: Resume and Rewind. Select Resume.
4
ಘ
If the reservoir is empty, clear the alarm by pressing ESC and ACT. Select Rewind and change your
reservoir and infusion set per the instructions in the Starting on insulin chapter.
5
ಘ
Continue troubleshooting by disconnecting at the quick-disconnect, and set a 10-unit Fixed Prime.
6
ಘ
Does insulin come out of the needle at the quick-disconnect?
a. If yes, change your entire infusion set per the instructions in the Starting on insulin chapter.
If no insulin comes out of the needle at the quick-disconnect, or you receive another NO DELIVERY
alarm, call your local representative.
b. Your pump remembers the last Fixed Prime amount that was delivered, so make sure to set your
Fixed Prime amount back to your usual setting. Remember to change your Fixed Prime amount from
10 units to your infusion set amount.
7
ಘ
Monitor your blood glucose closely.
8
ಘ
If you followed these steps and you are still receiving a NO DELIVERY alarm, call your local representative.
