Insulet Corporation 019 Manuale Utente

n 

When you turn on or use the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM), 
it establishes communication with the active Pod. Usually, com-
munication occurs quickly. Occasionally, communication takes 
longer and the PDM displays the communication icon during 
that time in the upper left-hand corner of the current screen.
However, if communication does not work, the PDM will walk 
you through the necessary steps to re-establish communication.
Communication can fail if the PDM is:
•

Too far from the Pod—The PDM and Pod should be side by 

side while priming during activation.

•

Interrupted by outside interference—See the “mylife Omni-
Pod System Notice Concerning Interference” in the Appen-
dix.

When you send an instruction from the PDM—such as

 

Start to 

begin bolus delivery or Enable to begin using a different basal 
program—the Pod usually responds quickly. However, if the 
PDM cannot send your instruction within a few seconds, it dis-
plays the “Communication error” screen (Figure 11-1 on the next 
page).
1. Move the PDM closer to the Pod. The PDM will try to commu-

nicate with the Pod again. If communication still fails, you will 
see the message in Figure 11-2 on the next page.

As a safety feature, the communication distance 
between the Pod and PDM is reduced during activation. 
Once a Pod is primed and communicates with the PDM, 
the full communication range is restored and the Pod 
can receive commands only from that PDM.
