• Because insulin Pods use only rapid-acting insulin, users are
at increased risk for developing
hyperglycemia (high blood
glucose ) if insulin delivery is interrupted. If it is untreated,
severe hyperglycemia can quickly lead to diabetic ketoacido-
sis (DKA) . DKA can cause symptoms such as breathing difficul-
ties, shock, coma, or death. If insulin delivery is interrupted for
any reason, you may need to replace the missing insulin usu-
ally with an injection of rapid-acting insulin. Ask your health-
care provider for instructions on handling interrupted insulin
delivery.
Gather equipment and supplies
Gather the following before you begin:
•
A vial of rapid-acting U-100 insulin (See the warning on
page 8 of the Introduction for a list of insulins approved for
use in the mylife OmniPod System.)
• An unopened Pod
• An alcohol prep swab
Deactivate the current Pod
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.
NEVER use insulin that is cloudy; it may be old or inac-
tive. Failure to use rapid-acting U-100 insulin, or using
insulin that is expired or inactive, may lead to hyper-
glycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
If you are a first-time mylife 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 a Pod 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.
