Gather Equipment And Supplies; Deactivate The Current Pod - OmniPod CAT45E Guide De L'utilisateur

Using the Pod
• 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 ketoacidosis
(DKA). DKA can cause symptoms such as breathing
difficulties, shock, coma, or death. If insulin delivery is
interrupted for any reason, you may need to replace the
missing insulin usually with an injection of rapid-acting
insulin. Ask your healthcare 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 x of the Introduction for a list of insulin' s approved
for use in the OmniPod System.)
NEVER use insulin that is cloudy; it may be old or
inactive. Failure to use rapid-acting U-100 insulin, or
using insulin that is expired or inactive, may lead to
hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
• An unopened Pod
• An alcohol prep swab

If you are a first-time 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.
