Alert Silence in Auto Mode
Device: MiniMed™ 670G insulin pump (MMT-1780K)
The Alert Silence feature allows you to temporarily silence sensor glucose (SG) alerts. This is useful in situations where you do not want to disturb others, such as when you are in a business meeting or in a movie theater. When using this feature, your system still records the time and glucose value for any alerts that occur. You can view this information in the Alarm History screen.
If a glucose alert occurs when you are using the Alert Silence feature, the notification light begins to flash and the Sensor alert occurred message appears, but there is no vibration or sound. If you have not cleared the alert by the end of the preset alert silence duration, your pump begins to beep or vibrate periodically until the alert is cleared.
You can check the status of the Alert Silence feature in the Sensor Status Screen.
