The OmniPod System is designed to use rapid-act-
ing U-100 insulin. The following U-100 rapid-acting
insulin analogs have been tested and found to be
safe for use in the Pod: Novolog®/NovoRapid®,
Humalog®, or Apidra®. Novolog® is compatible with
the OmniPod System for use up to 72 hours (3 days).
Before using a different insulin with the OmniPod
System, check the insulin drug label to make sure it
can be used with a pump. Refer to the insulin label-
ing and follow your healthcare provider’s directions
for how often to replace the Pod.
Not recommended for individuals with hearing
loss. Always verify ability to hear Pod/PDM alerts
and alarms.
The Pod and PDM may be affected by strong radi-
ation or magnetic fields. Before having an X-ray, MRI,
or CT scan (or any similar test or procedure), remove
your Pod and put it and the PDM outside the treat-
ment area. Check with your healthcare provider for
Pod removal guidelines.
The glucose meter and lancing device are for single
patient use. Do not share the device with anyone
including other family members. Do not use on mul-
tiple patients.
Parts of the device are considered biohazardous and
can potentially transmit infectious diseases, even
after you have performed cleaning and disinfection.
