Initial PDM Setup
Preparing for Your Training
If you are a rst-time Omnipod® System user, you need to meet with your
Omnipod® System Trainer to set up your Personal Device Manager (PDM) and
rst Pod.
To get a head start on learning about the Omnipod® System, review this User
Guide prior to meeting with your Omnipod® System trainer, including the
"Introduction" on page ix, "Your Omnipod® Insulin Management System" on page
1, and "Taking Care of Your PDM and Pod" on page 109.
Warning: Do NOT use the Omnipod® System until you have been trained
by your Omnipod® System Trainer. He or she will help you initialize the PDM
based on your individual needs. Inadequate training or improper setup could
put your health and safety at risk.

emergency.

needed.
