Safety Features

The 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, and then inserts and primes the
cannula (a small, thin tube). These safety checks take only a few seconds.
The 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 notifications
For your safety, the Omnipod DASH™ System provides a range of alarms and
notifications to tell you that your attention is needed or to warn you of hazardous
situations. For a description of the PDM's alarms and notifications, see "Alarms,
Notifications and Communication Errors" on page 109.
Note: Brief alarm and notification messages appear on the Lock screen. You must
unlock the screen and enter your personal identification number (PIN) to see the
full alarm messages.
Note: Wake up your PDM periodically to confirm that there are no notification
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.
