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 10, Errors, Advisories, and Hazard Alarms).
You can go to the Status screen at any time by
pressing Status from the Home screen.
