There are two notification settings you can control from the Notifications screen.

  • Notifications from pump: When this setting is turned on, alarms, alerts, messages, and reminders from your pump will appear on both your pump and your compatible mobile device. Your compatible mobile device must also have notifications from the MiniMed™ Mobile app turned on. If either setting is turned off, the notifications will appear on your pump only.
  • Repeat notifications: When this setting is turned on, notifications repeat every minute on your compatible mobile device until they are cleared on the pump or dismissed in the app. If this setting is turned off, notifications will not repeat on the compatible mobile device.
