Staying Safe while Using the Omnipod DASH System
General Warnings
Warning: Do NOT attempt to use the
Omnipod DASH System before you
receive training. Inadequate training
could put your health and safety at risk.
Warning:
Read all the instructions
provided in this User Guide before
using the Omnipod DASH System.
Monitor your blood glucose with the
guidance of your healthcare provider.
Undetected hyperglycaemia or
hypoglycaemia can develop without
proper monitoring.
Warning:
Not recommended for
individuals with hearing loss. Always
verify your ability to hear Pod/PDM
alarms and notifications.
Warning: If you are unable to use the
Omnipod DASH System according to
the 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.
Warning: 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 m (10,000 ft).
Warning: 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.
Warning: When using the extended
bolus function, check your blood
glucose levels more frequently to avoid
hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.

Warning:
Insulin delivery does not
automatically resume at the end of the
suspension period. You must tap
RESUME INSULIN to resume insulin
delivery. If you do not resume insulin
delivery, you could develop
hyperglycaemia.
Warning:
The Bolus Calculator displays
a suggested bolus dose based on the
personalised settings you have
programmed into the PDM. Check with
your healthcare provider before
adjusting your Bolus Calculator
settings. Giving too much insulin can
cause hypoglycaemia.
Warning:
Keep an emergency kit with
you at all times to quickly respond to
any diabetes emergency.
Warning: The atmospheric pressure in
an aeroplane cabin can change during
flight, which may affect the Pod's
insulin delivery. Check your blood
glucose frequently while flying. If
needed, follow your healthcare
provider's treatment instructions.
Warning: An occlusion may result from
a blockage, Pod malfunction or from
using old or inactive insulin. If insulin
delivery is interrupted by an occlusion,
check your blood glucose level and
follow the treatment guidelines
established by your healthcare
provider. Hyperglycaemia could result if
appropriate actions are not taken.
Warning: The Pod and PDM may be
affected by strong radiation or
magnetic fields. Before having an X-ray,
MRI or CT scan (or any similar test or
procedure), remove and dispose of
your Pod and place your PDM outside
the treatment area. Check with your
healthcare provider on Pod removal
guidelines.
Warning: At very low basal flow rates,
checking your blood glucose frequently
may give you an early indication of
an occlusion. Occlusions can result
in hyperglycaemia.
