User's Manual

Using the OmniPod

may need to replace the missing insulin—usually with an injec-

tion of rapid-acting insulin. Ask your healthcare provider for

instructions on handling interrupted insulin delivery.

Gather equipment and supplies

Gather the following before you begin:

• Vial of rapid-acting U-100 insulin

• An unopened OmniPod

• Alcohol prep swab

Deactivate the current OmniPod

1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons

to choose More actions, then press Select.

2. Choose Change Pod (Figure 5-1), then press Select.

3. Press Confirm (Figure 5-2) to deactivate the current Pod.

Use ONLY rapid-acting U-100 insulin with the

OmniPod. NEVER use insulin that is cloudy; it may be

old or inactive. Failure to use rapid-acting U-100 insu-

lin, or using insulin that is old or inactive, may lead to

hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

If you are a first-time OmniPod System user, your

healthcare provider will guide you through the steps

for initializing and applying your first Pod. Do NOT

attempt to apply or use an OmniPod until you have

been trained by your healthcare provider. Use of the

System with inadequate training or improper setup

could put your health and safety at risk.
