Description
Omnipod is an innovative insulin delivery system specifically designed for people with diabetes, offering a convenient, discreet, and reliable solution for daily insulin therapy management. This system stands out with its tubeless design, eliminating the inconveniences associated with traditional insulin delivery methods, and ensuring complete control during treatment.
Key Components of the Omnipod DASH System:
- Pod: A small, lightweight, and waterproof insulin reservoir that adheres directly to the skin using medical-grade adhesive. The pod functions for up to 72 hours (3 days) before needing replacement. It can hold up to 200 units of fast-acting insulin, allowing for continuous delivery of both basal and bolus doses according to user needs.
- DASH Controller: A device resembling a smartphone with a touchscreen interface that remotely controls the pod. It enables users to adjust insulin doses, monitor glucose trends, and set notifications and alerts. The controller is intuitive and user-friendly, making it accessible even for individuals without technical knowledge.
Features and Benefits:
- Tubeless Design: The Omnipod DASH pod attaches directly to the skin, eliminating the need for traditional tubing. This provides greater freedom of movement and comfort, without worrying about tangled, damaged, or uncomfortable tubes.
- Waterproof: Omnipod DASH pods are fully waterproof, making them suitable for daily activities such as bathing, swimming, or exercising without risk of damage.
- Continuous and Accurate Insulin Delivery: Omnipod DASH pods are designed to provide continuous insulin delivery for up to 72 hours. Users can customize basal and bolus doses according to their individual needs, ensuring better diabetes management and avoiding sudden glucose spikes.
- Flexibility in Insulin Choice: Omnipod DASH is compatible with many fast-acting insulins, such as aspart and lispro, allowing therapy to be tailored to different patient needs.
- Discreet Use: With a compact pod design, the Omnipod DASH system can be easily hidden under clothing, ensuring maximum discretion and comfort. The small size and lack of tubing make the pods nearly invisible, making them convenient for everyday wear.
- Ease of Use: With the touchscreen controller, users can easily manage their therapy, adjust insulin doses, monitor trends, and receive alerts. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, making it ideal even for those who have never used insulin pumps before.
