Check The Infusion Site - Insulet Omnipod Dash User Manual

3 Changing Your Pod
3. Confirm that the Pod is securely attached to your body, then tap CONFIRM.
4. If you are squeezing your skin, stop squeezing when the PDM asks if the
cannula is properly inserted.
Once the cannula is inserted, the Pod automatically fills the cannula with insulin.
The Pod then begins delivering the basal rate of insulin according to the active
Basal Program.
The cannula can only be inserted once with each Pod.
Caution: Be sure to check the alarm function at every Pod change (see "Check
alarms" on page 97).

Check the Infusion Site

Following insertion of the cannula, check the Pod and
infusion site:
1. Look through the viewing window on the edge of
the Pod to verify that the cannula is inserted into
the skin. The cannula is tinted light blue.
2. Verify that there is a pink colour in the area
indicated in the figure. This is an additional check
that the cannula was inserted.
3. Verify that there is no wetness or scent of insulin
at the infusion site. The presence of either may
indicate that the cannula has dislodged.
Warning: Check the infusion site after insertion to ensure that the
cannula was properly inserted. If the cannula is not properly inserted,
hyperglycaemia may result.
4. If the cannula is not properly inserted, tap NO. Then tap DEACTIVATE POD.
Restart the process with a new Pod.
5. If the cannula is properly inserted, tap YES.
A green banner notifies you that the Pod setup is complete. The screen shows
details about the Pod and a list of reminders.
6. Review the list of active reminders, then tap CLOSE.
Warning: Never inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill port while
the Pod is on your body. Doing so may result in unintended or interrupted
insulin delivery.
