Communication Failures

The Communication Process

n
When you turn on or use the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM), it
establishes communication with the active Pod. Usually,
communication 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 "OmniPod
System Notice Concerning Interference" in the Appendix.
As a safety feature, the communication distance
be-tween 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.

Failure During Pod Activation or Operation

n
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
displays the "Communication error" screen (Figure 11-1).
1. Move the PDM closer to the Pod. The PDM will try to
communicate with the Pod again. If communication still fails,
you will see the message in Figure 11-2.
