Automated cannula insertion
With the OmniPod System, you don’t have to insert the infusion
set manually or carry around a separate inserter. You simply press
a button on the PDM and the Pod’s automated insertion system
safely and consistently inserts the cannula beneath the skin, vir-

into the Pod. With the PDM, you can check your blood glucose
level using FreeStyle® blood glucose test strips, but without the
hassle of carrying a separate blood glucose meter.
