CHAPTER 2

Initial PDM Setup

This chapter guides you through setting up your first PDM or a replacement
PDM.
If you are setting up a replacement PDM, go to "Charge the battery" within the
following section.

Preparing for Your Training

If you are a first-time Omnipod DASH™ System user, you need to meet with your
nurse/educator to set up your Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) and first Pod.
If you have used an Omnipod® Insulin Management System in the past and are
upgrading to the Omnipod DASH™ System, review the training module before
setting up your new system.
To get a head start on learning about the Omnipod DASH™ System, review this
User Guide, including the "Introduction" on page xi, "Your Omnipod DASH™
Insulin Management System" on page 1 and "Taking Care of Your PDM and Pod"
on page 125.
Warnings:
Do NOT use the Omnipod DASH™ System before you have been trained.
Inadequate training could put your health and safety at risk.
Follow your healthcare provider' s instructions for initialising the PDM.
Improper setup could put your health and safety at risk.
Note: Keep an emergency kit with you at all times to quickly respond to a diabetes
emergency (see "Prepare for Emergencies" on page 163).
Charge the battery
It is important to charge the PDM' s battery before setting up your Omnipod
DASH™ System:
1. Install the rechargeable battery in the PDM, if necessary (see "Inserting or
Replacing the PDM Battery" on page 131).
2. Assemble the charger by plugging the charger cable' s USB Type A plug into
the charger' s wall adapter.
