Remove A Pod - Insulet Omnipod GO User Manual

Caution: ALWAYS check often to make sure insulin is not
leaking from your Pod site. If you touch the area around the
Pod and notice wetness or notice the scent of insulin on your
fingers afterwards, this could mean that insulin is not being
absorbed. ALWAYS check often in this way to ensure the Pod
is securely attached and the soft cannula is not dislodged. A
loose or dislodged cannula could interrupt insulin delivery,
which can lead to high glucose.
Warning:
NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill
port while the Pod is on your body. Attempting to do so could
result in over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can
lead to low glucose or high glucose.

2.15. Remove a Pod

After 3 days of normal use, your Pod will automatically stop delivering
insulin. Before you remove a Pod, confirm with Pod lights and beeps
that it is time to replace the Pod.
If your Pod light is solid red or blinking red, you need to remove your
Pod because it is not delivering insulin. If you want to continue to
receive insulin, replace the Pod with a new Pod.
For more details about the meaning of Pod lights and sounds, see
page 43.
Warning:
DO NOT apply a new Pod until you have removed
the old Pod. Use only 1 Pod on your body at a time. If your old
Pod has not expired, it could continue to deliver insulin while
you wear it. This could result in the over-delivery of insulin,
which can lead to low glucose.
Caution: NEVER reuse the Pod or fill syringe or try to use a
fill syringe that did not come with your Pod. Always dispose
of the used Pod and fill syringe according to local disposal
guidelines. Only use a new Pod with the included fill syringe
with each Pod change. Always carry supplies to perform a Pod
change should you need to replace your Pod at any time.
