Warning:
If you are unable to use the Omnipod DASH™ System according
to instructions, you may be putting your health and safety at risk. Talk with
your healthcare provider if you have concerns about using the Omnipod

provider discussed the benefits of the Omnipod DASH™ System, as well as the
responsibilities that come with insulin pump therapy. Remember: safe use begins
and ends with you. If you have questions or doubts about being able to safely
use the Omnipod DASH™ System at any time, consult your healthcare provider
immediately.
Daily Activities
To ensure proper Omnipod DASH™ System operation and your continued good
health, check your infusion site, your PDM messages and your blood glucose
frequently.
Infusion site checks
At least once a day, use the Pod’s viewing window to inspect the infusion site.
Check the site for:
• Leakage or scent of insulin, which may indicate that the cannula has
dislodged
• Signs of infection, such as pain, swelling, redness, discharge or heat
