Check Pod Status
To check Pod status, if the PDM is turned Off, press and hold the
Power button to display the ID screen, then press Confirm to
display the Status screen. If the PDM is On, press Back until you
reach the Status screen. (If you press and hold the Power but-
ton, you will turn off the PDM instead.) Or, from the Home
screen, press Status.
The PDM automatically checks the status of the Pod. The PDM
then displays the current reservoir volume, PDM battery level,
last blood glucose, last bolus dose, active basal program, and any
alarm conditions. See Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes
Manager, for details of what you see on the Status screen.
If the Pod goes into hazard alarm condition and the PDM is
unable to communicate with it to turn off the alarm, you can turn
it off manually. See the end of Chapter 10, Alerts and Alarms, for
instructions.

Suspend Insulin Delivery
Sometimes you may need to briefly stop insulin delivery (for
example, when editing an active basal program or changing the
time or date). The OmniPod System lets you suspend all insulin
delivery for up to 2 hours. While in suspension, the Pod beeps
once every 15 minutes, reminding you that insulin delivery is
suspended.
1. On the Home screen, use the Up/Down Controller buttons
to choose Suspend; then press Select.
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.
Once a Pod is activated and communicates with the
PDM, it can only receive commands from that PDM,
not from any other.
At any time during a suspension period, press Resume
to resume the basal program that was running when you
suspended insulin delivery.
Extended boluses and temporary basal rates will be can-
celled when you suspend insulin delivery.
If a temporary basal or extended bolus is in process, the
menu item will read Suspend/cancel instead, and
options for cancelling these programs also appear in the
menu. If these options appear, choose Suspend insulin
delivery.
