With the <strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® Insulin Management System<br />
The <strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® System was created by a father; a man who wanted his<br />

or simply play ball with friends.<br />

Easy to use<br />
Three simple steps to start insulin delivery<br />
The unique design of the <strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® allows for fewer accessories, and<br />
makes it much easier to prepare the system for use: it has the fewest steps to<br />
start insulin delivery.<br />
Virtually pain-free insertion<br />
Experience the world’s fastest insertion<br />
The virtually pain-free, automated insertion ensures<br />
cannula inserts with consistent depth and angle.<br />
The cannula is inserted in the blink of an eye in just<br />
0.005 seconds.<br />
It minimises errors and tissue damages and the<br />
needle is never visible.<br />
Fill<br />
Fill the Pod with insulin (from 85 up to 200 units<br />
of rapid-acting U-100 insulin, e.g. NovoRapid ® ,<br />
Humalog ® or Apidra ® ). The Pod automatically<br />
primes itself and performs a series of safety checks.<br />
Patch<br />
Apply Pod to the infusion site and run finger around<br />
the adhesive to ensure application.<br />
Pump<br />
Press “Start” to activate virtually pain-free, auto-<br />
mated insertion of the soft cannula and begin<br />
insulin delivery.<br />
6.5 mm<br />
No tubing – more flexibility<br />
Discreet and wearable in so many places<br />
The <strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® has no tubing. There is no<br />
need for carrying a pump on a belt clip, in a small<br />
pouch under clothes, or in a bra. No more snapped<br />
or twisted infusion sets.<br />
No need to disconnect<br />
The world’s only truly continuous insulin delivery system<br />
In daily life quite a lot of pump users disconnect<br />
when showering, swimming, exercising or during<br />
intimate moments, leaving them with an interrupted<br />
basal insulin flow. Not anymore. The tubeless and<br />
waterproof Pod communicates wirelessly with the<br />
PDM, so there is no need to disconnect. No matter<br />
what activities your patient chooses to do there<br />
is no more hassle to disconnect and reconnect,<br />
giving your patient more time to live their life.<br />
STUDY<br />
Truly continuous insulin infusion<br />
A prospective, open-label study, published<br />
in Diabetes Care, measured the impact of<br />
short-term infusion set disconnects on glucose<br />
levels. The conclusion: A “30-minute interruption<br />
of basal insulin infusion resulted in significant<br />
glucose elevation; ~1 mg/dL for each<br />
minute basal insulin infusion was interrupted.” 3<br />
Because the Pod is worn directly on the skin,<br />
<strong>mylife</strong> OmniPod ® is the world’s only truly<br />
continuous insulin delivery system; patients<br />
have no need to disconnect. As a result, it<br />
promises better control and reduced glycemic<br />
variability.<br />

insulin-pump infusion sets on glycemic excursions. Diabetes Care. 2008;<br />
31:238-239.<br />
A Pod can be worn wherever an injection would<br />
be possible with insulin pen treatment (MDI/ICT).<br />
And because it’s so small, it attracts less attention<br />
and provides a feeling of freedom your patient<br />
doesn’t get with a conventional pump.<br />

Eco-Pod Program<br />
Environmentally friendly<br />
We care for and respect our environment. Therefore<br />
we designed a unique program to have used Pods<br />
sent back to us and recycled in Switzerland.<br />
Patients collect the used Pods in the Recycling Box<br />
provided by Ypsomed and send them back. Our<br />
designated recycler in Switzerland takes the Pods<br />
completely apart and recycles their components.<br />
Please take part in our Eco-Pod Program by<br />
encouraging your patients to join and dispose of<br />
their Pods the right way.<br />
