Get the Most from Your PDM
Keep it handy
Wireless communication technology means you don’t have to
keep the PDM right next to the Pod for the Pod to work. Once
you set your basal program, the Pod continues to deliver your
basal program 24 hours a day, regardless of the location of the
PDM. However, you still need the PDM to deliver a bolus, change
the basal rate, and so on. You can store the PDM conveniently
inside an article of clothing (like a shirt pocket) or put it discreetly
into a drawer, briefcase, or purse.
Communicating with the Pod
When you use the PDM to communicate with the Pod, hold the
PDM within 24'' (61 cm) of the Pod. If you wear the Pod on your
abdomen, holding the PDM in your hands when pressing the
buttons should be close enough.
Water and your PDM
The PDM is not waterproof. Do NOT place it in or near water.
Use the form at the end of this
User Guide
to write
down all your settings from the Setup Wizard. You
can also attach a copy of the pump therapy orders
that you used during your training session. If you
ever need to reset your PDM, having these settings
handy will make setup very easy.
These forms are also available on Insulet’s Web site,
MyOmniPod.com.

Do NOT use IV Prep wipes, alcohol swabs, soap,
detergent, or solvents to clean the screen or any
other part of the PDM.
