1 Introduction
1.4. Terminology
Term Description
Blockage (occlusion) An interruption in insulin delivery. A
blockage may result from blocked tubing,
Pod malfunction, or from using old or
inactive insulin.
Blood glucose The amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood.
Blood
glucose meter
A device used to check blood glucose.
Cannula A small, thin tube the Pod inserts under the
skin and uses to deliver insulin.
Diabetes,
diabetes mellitus
A condition characterized by high blood
glucose resulting from the body’s inability
to use blood glucose for energy. In type 2
diabetes, either the pancreas does not make
enough insulin or the body is unable to use
insulin eectively.
Glucose A simple sugar used by the body for energy.
Without insulin, many cells in the body cannot
use glucose for energy.
Hemoglobin A1c
(HbA1c)
Blood test used to diagnose diabetes and
to gauge how well your diabetes therapy is
working for you. A1C reects your average
glucose for the past 2 to 3 months.
Hyperglycemia High glucose. Higher-than-optimal glucose in
the blood; generally above 250 mg/dL.
Hyperosmolar
hyperglycemic
state (HHS)
A serious condition marked by extremely high
blood glucose and severe dehydration. This
condition can lead to confusion, seizure, coma,
and even death. HHS is generally preceded
by an illness or infection and can take days or
weeks to develop.
Hypoglycemia Low glucose. Lower-than-optimal glucose in
the blood; generally below 70 mg/dL.
Hypoglycemia
unawareness
A condition in which a person does not feel
or recognize the symptoms of low glucose in
the blood.

5
Introduction 1
Insulin A hormone that helps the body use
glucose for energy. The beta cells of a
pancreas make insulin when the pancreas
is functioning typically.
Ketoacidosis
(Diabetic
ketoacidosis,
or DKA)
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious
condition in which extremely high blood
glucose and a severe lack of insulin cause
the body to break down fat for energy. The
breakdown of fat releases ketones into the
blood and urine. DKA can take hours or days
to develop, with symptoms that include
stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, fruity
breath odor, and rapid breathing.
Pod site
(infusion site)
The place on the body where a Pod's cannula
is inserted to deliver insulin.
Syringe (ll syringe) Small device used to ll the Pod with insulin.
Titration When your healthcare provider starts your
insulin at one infusion rate and periodically
raises the dosage until it provides the result
you need.
Units (U) How insulin is measured.
Vial Small glass bottle.

could result in under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to
high glucose.

8
1 Introduction
Warning: AVOID administering insulin, such as by injection
or inhalation, while wearing an active Pod as this could result
in low glucose. The Omnipod GO Pod cannot recognize insulin
administered outside the Pod. Consult your healthcare
provider about how long to wait after manually administering
insulin before you begin using the Omnipod GO Pod.
Warning: Check your glucose at least once a day, or as
advised by your healthcare provider. The Omnipod GO Pod
does not check your glucose.
Warning: ALWAYS follow your healthcare provider's
guidance on appropriate glucose monitoring to detect high
glucose and low glucose.
Warning: Glucose below 70 mg/dL may indicate low glucose.
Glucose readings above 250 mg/dL may indicate high glucose.
Follow your healthcare provider's suggestions for treatment.
Warning: ALWAYS promptly treat glucose below 70 mg/dL
(low glucose) according to your healthcare provider's
recommendations. Symptoms of low glucose include
weakness, sweating, nervousness, headache, or confusion.
If left untreated, low glucose could lead to seizure, loss of
consciousness, and death.
Warning: DO NOT wait to treat low glucose or symptoms of
low glucose. Even if you cannot check your glucose, waiting to
treat symptoms could lead to severe low glucose, which can
quickly lead to shock, coma, or death.
Warning: NEVER drive yourself to the emergency room if you
need emergency medical care. Ask a friend or family member
to take you to the emergency room or call an ambulance.

Introduction 1
Warning: DO NOT use the Omnipod GO Pod in oxygen rich
environments (greater than 25% oxygen), which include
home or surgical areas that use supplementary oxygen
and hyperbaric chambers. Hyperbaric, or high pressure,
chambers are sometimes used to promote healing of diabetic
ulcers, or to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, certain bone
and tissue infections, and decompression sickness. Exposure
to oxygen rich environments could result in combustion of
the Pod, which can cause severe burns to the body.
Warning: AVOID using the Omnipod GO Pod at low
atmospheric pressure (below 700 hPa). You could encounter
such low atmospheric pressures at high elevations, such as
when mountain climbing or living at elevations above 10,000
feet (3,000 meters). Change in atmospheric pressure can
also occur during take-o with air travel. Unintended insulin
delivery can occur if there is expansion of tiny air bubbles
that may exist inside the Pod. This can result in low glucose.
It is important to check your glucose when ying to avoid
prolonged low glucose.
Warning: DO NOT dispose of the Pod as unsorted household
waste. ALWAYS dispose of the Pod according to local waste
disposal guidelines. The Pod is considered biohazardous after
use and can potentially transmit infectious diseases.
1.8. General Precautions
If you observe that your Pod is not working as it should, please contact
Customer Care.
Caution: DO NOT use a Pod if you suspect damage after
an unexpected event such as dropping or hitting on a hard
surface. Using a damaged Pod may put your health at risk
as the Pod may not be working properly. If you are unsure if
your Pod is damaged, stop using it and call Customer Care
for support.

10
1 Introduction
Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on
the order of a physician.
Caution: ALWAYS begin using a new Pod in a timely manner.
Waiting too long between Pod changes could result in under-
delivery of insulin which can lead to high glucose.
Caution: ALWAYS respond to a red or blinking red Pod light
as soon as possible. A red or blinking red Pod light indicates
that insulin delivery has stopped and you need to change
your Pod to continue receiving insulin. Failure to respond to a
red or blinking red Pod light could result in the under-delivery
of insulin which can lead to high glucose.
Caution: Be prepared to check your glucose following
amusement park rides and during ying or other situations
with sudden changes or extremes of air pressure, altitude,
or gravity. Though the Omnipod GO Pod is safe to use at
atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins
during ight, the atmospheric pressure in an airplane cabin
could change during ight, which may aect the Pod's insulin
delivery. Rapid changes in altitude and gravity, such as those
typically found on amusement park rides or ight take-o and
landing, could aect insulin delivery leading to possible low
glucose or injury. If needed, follow your healthcare provider's
treatment instructions.
Caution: DO NOT use the Omnipod GO Pod in high
atmospheric pressure environments (above 1060 hPa), which
can be found in a hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric, or high
pressure, chambers are sometimes used to promote healing
of diabetic ulcers, or to treat carbon monoxide poisoning,
certain bone and tissue infections, and decompression
sickness. Exposure to high atmospheric pressure
environments can damage your Pod which could lead to
under-delivery of insulin which can lead to high glucose.

11
Introduction 1
Potential Risks
• Wearing a Pod might cause infection. Be aware of signs of
infection including: bleeding, pain, and skin irritation including
redness. See your healthcare provider if irritation occurs.
• Kinks in the cannula, or dislodging of the cannula can aect
insulin delivery. Unexpected high glucose could be a sign of a
blockage (occlusion) or other interruption in insulin delivery.
• Air bubbles in the Pod or cannula can aect insulin delivery.
If there is a large amount of air in the Pod, it could deliver an
inaccurate dose of insulin which can lead to low glucose or
high glucose.
• Infusion site complications like scar tissue and infection can make
insulin delivery less eective. Unexplained high glucose is a sign
of ineective insulin delivery.
• Hardware defects, software glitches, and Pod failures could
cause an interruption in insulin delivery. A Pod failure can lead
to high glucose, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperosmolar
hyperglycemic state (HHS). Check your Pod light frequently,
especially when in loud environments, to ensure you are aware
of your Pod's insulin delivery status.

• A signed letter from your healthcare provider explaining that you
need to carry insulin supplies and the Omnipod GO Pod
• Phone numbers for your healthcare provider and/or physician in
case of an emergency
Tip: Before discontinuing use of the Omnipod GO Pod, ask
your healthcare provider what supplies you need to keep
on hand.
Tip: Ask your healthcare provider to help you develop plans
for handling emergency situations, including what to do if you
cannot reach your healthcare provider.

13
Introduction 1
1.9. Healthcare Provider Dosing Considerations
Your healthcare provider determines and prescribes the amount of
insulin you need per day based on their experience and based on
professional guidelines for insulin therapy.
Depending on your needs, or the actual amount of insulin you have
been taking currently, the Pod may be prescribed for any of these
options: 10 units per day, 15 units per day, 20 units per day, 25 units
per day, 30 units per day, 35 units per day or 40 units per day.
If you're already using insulin, your healthcare provider may consider
reducing your prescribed daily insulin rate when you start using the
Omnipod GO Pod.
Your healthcare provider may change your prescription to a dierent
option for your Pod as your insulin needs change.
Caution: DO NOT use long-acting insulin in the Pod. If you
have used long-acting insulin in the past, note that the Pod is
designed to use rapid-acting, a dierent, faster insulin that
requires a separate prescription. Using incorrect insulin could
result in high glucose or low glucose.

14
1 Introduction
1.10. Understanding Your Pod's Daily Insulin Rate
and Your Syringe's 3-day Fill Line
The following images show the dierent Pod options and the syringe
that comes with each Pod. You'll see that for each prescribed Pod, the
syringe that comes with it is marked with a "Fill Here" line and a daily
insulin rate, for example, 25 U/day. Use only the syringe that came
with your Pod to ensure you get the prescribed daily insulin for 3 days.
Note: The location of the "Fill Here" line marked on the
syringe is specic to each daily insulin rate.
