IntroductionIntroduction
Safety Features
e Omnipod DASH™ System’s safety features include:
Automatic priming, safety checks and insertion
When you activate a new Pod, the Omnipod DASH™ System automatically
primes and performs safety checks on the Pod, then inserts and primes the
cannula (a small, thin tube). ese safety checks take only a few seconds.
e Omnipod DASH™ System also performs safety checks on the Personal
Diabetes Manager (PDM) whenever the PDM is awake. If it detects any problems
in the PDM or the Pod – or in the communication between them – it informs you
with vibrations or beeps and on-screen messages.
Alarms and notications
For your safety, the Omnipod DASH™ System provides a range of alarms and
notications to tell you that your attention is needed or to warn you of hazardous
situations. For a description of the PDM’s alarms and notications, see “Alarms,
Notications and Communication Errors” on page 109.
Note: Brief alarm and notication messages appear on the Lock screen. You must
unlock the screen and enter your personal identication number (PIN) to see the
full alarm messages.
Note: Wake up your PDM periodically to conrm that there are no notication
or alarm messages that require a response.
Warning: Do NOT attempt to use the Omnipod DASH™ System before you
receive training. Inadequate training could put your health and safety at risk.
