Introduction
Warnings:
If you are unable to use the Omnipod DASH™ System according to
instructions, you may be putting your health and safety at risk. Talk with
your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about using the
Omnipod DASH™ System properly.
After use, parts of the device are considered biohazardous and can potentially
transmit infectious diseases.
If you are having symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose
test results and you have followed all instructions described in this User
Guide, contact your healthcare provider.
The Omnipod DASH™ System should NOT be used at low atmospheric
pressure (below 700 hPA). You could encounter such low atmospheric
pressures at high elevations, such as when mountain-climbing or living at
elevations above 3,000 metres (10,000 feet).
The Omnipod DASH™ System should NOT be used in oxygen-rich
environments (greater than 25% oxygen) or at high atmospheric pressure
(above 1,060 hPA), both of which can be found in a hyperbaric chamber.
Hyperbaric, or high pressure, chambers are sometimes used to promote
healing of diabetic ulcers, or to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, certain
bone and tissue infections and decompression sickness.
