CHAPTER 1
Your Omnipod DASH™ Insulin
Management System

Welcome

The Omnipod DASH™ Insulin Management System is a continuous insulin
delivery system that provides all the proven benefits of continuous subcutaneous
insulin infusion (CSII) therapy.
Features of the Omnipod DASH™ System include:
No tubing: There is no tubing connecting the Pod to the Personal Diabetes
Manager (PDM). You can wear the Pod under your clothes and carry the PDM
separately. You can swim wearing the Pod and leave the PDM on dry land. The
Pod is waterproof to 25 feet (7.6 meters) for up to 60 minutes (IP28).
Bolus Calculator: If your blood glucose is high or if you are planning to eat,
the PDM's Bolus Calculator can suggest a bolus dose based on your individual
settings.
Glucose readings: Your PDM can pair to and record blood glucose readings
from the CONTOUR® NEXT ONE BG meter via Bluetooth® wireless technology.
While the CONTOUR NEXT ONE BG meter is the only BG meter compatible
for pairing to the PDM, you can also manually enter blood glucose readings from
any BG meter into the PDM.
Record keeping: The PDM displays up to 90 days of information, including basal
rates, bolus doses, carbohydrates, alarms, and blood glucose entries.
The Getting Started section of this book gives an overview of the basic operation
and setup of the Omnipod DASH™ System. The User Guide section gives step-by-
step instructions for using the Omnipod DASH™ System. The Reference section
explains how the Omnipod DASH™ System works.
