CHAPTER 2
Getting Started
■ The OmniPod Starter Kit
Your Starter Kit contains everything you need to begin using the
OmniPod System.
If you are a first-time OmniPod System user, you need to meet
with your healthcare provider for training and System setup
before using it. To get a head start on learning about your new
OmniPod System, review this User Guide and the Interactive
Training CD before your first training session. If you have a basic
understanding of the System in advance, you will get more out
of your training sessions.
After you unpack the Starter Kit, use the “Contents” list to make
sure you have everything. Then complete the warranty card and
promptly mail it to us. Returning the card allows us to contact
you with important product updates or warranty information.
Please refer to the Starter Kit for a complete list of
package contents.
You can also complete the warranty form online at
MyOmniPod.com/warranty.
Do NOT use the OmniPod Insulin Management
System until you have been trained by your healthcare
provider. He or she will initialize the System based on
your individual needs. Inadequate training or improper
setup could put your health and safety at risk.
Prepare and keep an emergency kit with you at all times
to quickly respond to any diabetes emergency. For
details, see Chapter 9, Living with Diabetes.
