Insulet Omnipod GO User Manual page 42

Tip: ALWAYS apply the Pod as
directed. If you are applying a
Pod in a place that does not have
a lot of fatty tissue, squeeze the
skin around the Pod until after
the Pod has inserted the cannula.
Blockages (occlusions) may result
if you do not use this technique
for lean areas.
6. If you applied the Pod to a lean area,
gently pinch the skin around the Pod
while you wait for the cannula to
insert. Make sure not to pull the Pod
off your body.
7. Confirm your Pod is working properly by listening to the Pod and
observing the Pod, looking for the signs described next.
Confirm the Automatic Cannula Insertion
Once the time is up, the cannula will automatically insert.
1. After you apply the Pod, listen for a click sound and for the
Pod to beep once. Watch for the Pod status light to turn to a
blinking green.
This means the cannula has been deployed and your Pod
is working.
Note: As soon as the soft cannula is inserted, the needle
retracts back into the Pod so only the soft cannula remains for
insulin delivery. The needle does not remain in your skin.
2. Confirm that the Pod is securely attached to your body.
3. If you had gently pinched your skin, you can release the skin once
the cannula is inserted. The cannula can be inserted only once
with each Pod.
