■ Safety Features
The OmniPod System’s state-of-the-art design includes the latest
safety technology. Its built-in safety features include:
Automatic priming, safety checks, and insertion
Every time you activate a new Pod, the System automatically
primes and performs a safety check on the Pod, then inserts
and primes the cannula (see Chapter 5, Using the Pod). Micro-
processor technology makes it possible to complete thousands
of safety checks in only a few seconds.
The OmniPod System also performs safety checks on the PDM.
If it detects any problems in the PDM or the Pod—or in commu-
nication between them—it informs you with beeps and on-
screen messages.
Rapid occlusion detection
An occlusion is a blockage or interruption in insulin delivery. If
the OmniPod System detects an occlusion, it sounds a hazard
alarm and prompts you to deactivate and change your Pod (see
Chapter 5, Using the Pod).
Alerts and alarms
For your safety, the OmniPod System provides a range of alerts
and alarms to tell you that your attention is needed, or to warn
you of hazardous situations.
See Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes Manager, for a
description of notifications and how to set them. See Chapter 10,
Alerts and Alarms, for a list of safety alarms built into the Omni-
Pod System and how to respond to them.
Confirm on ID screen - alerts/alarms do not show on
PDM until after ID screen is confirmed.
