More About Omnipod® Insulin Management System

More about Omnipod® – the tubeless, waterproof* Insulin Management System that’s easy to use and comfortable to wear.

Omnipod® Insulin Management System is a two-part insulin delivery system: The Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) and The Pod.

The PDM

  • The handheld PDM wirelessly manages your insulin delivery based on your settings that you program
  • It has a built-in FreeStyle® Lite blood glucose meter (BGM) that you can use to check your blood glucose levels as often as needed
  • The information from your PDM can be uploaded directly to Glooko®, our comprehensive data management software partner
Omnipod Pod

The Pod

  • The Pod is a small device that you fill with insulin and wear directly on your body.
  • The Pod receives insulin delivery instructions from the PDM. It then delivers insulin into your body through a small, flexible tube called a cannula. It is durable and waterproof* and is applied to your skin with an adhesive, similar to an adhesive bandage. It can be put anywhere on your body you’d normally give yourself an injection for up to 3 days† of nonstop insulin delivery.
  • Unlike traditional insulin pumps that require tubing, the Pod can be worn comfortably and discreetly under your clothes while carrying the PDM separately in a backpack or purse‡. Unlike users of other insulin pumps, you’ll never have to worry about snagging, tangling, or feeling tethered by tubing.

* The Pod has a waterproof IP28 rating for up to 7.6 metres (25 feet) for 60 minutes. This means that the Pod can be kept at a depth of 7.6 metres (25 feet) underwater for 60 minutes. The PDM is not waterproof.

† Up to 72 hours of insulin delivery

‡ At start-up, the Pod and Personal Diabetes Manager must be adjacent. During normal operation, the Personal Diabetes Manager must be within 1.5 metres (5 feet) of the Pod.
