3 Add Pump
3.1 If You Are Upgrading From FreeAPS X
Only one pump at a time can be controlled by FreeAPS-X or FAX-ng, so to add a pump to a new setup you must first Disable OrangeLink/RileyLink in the old pump setup.
3.2 If You Are Upgrading From Loop to FAX-ng
ATTENTION: You must FIRST disconnect RileyLink/OrangeLink/EmaLink from Loop.app BEFORE trying to connect a new Omnipod to FAX-ng.
At a scheduled or unscheduled Omnipod change:
While in Loop
- Tap Replace Pod BEFORE disconnecting your RileyLink
- Settings > OmniPod screen
- (Also available from Pump/Pod icon in top Header in both Loop and FAX-ng)
- Settings > OmniPod screen
- Turn RileyLink switch OFF
- RileyLink Green LED will turn off
- Close the Loop/FAX-ng App
- Swipe Up Loop/FAX-ng icon on Home Screen
Back in FAX-ng
- Select Omnipod in Settings > Pump
- RileyLink should be recognised immediately
- Turn RileyLink ON
- Fill a new pump or OmniPod, attach to body
- Start New Pod
3.3 To Change From Eros To Dash Pods
Insulet currently offers has two types of Omnipods.
Both work with FAX-ng:
- Omnipod Eros (needs RileyLink)
- Omnipod Dash (Direct to iPhone vie Bluetooth)
BC Diabetes is currently transitioning patients from Eros to Dash.
You must make this transition when you initiate a Pod change:
- After you disconnect the old Pod, go into Settings -> Pump -> Omnipod
- At the very bottom there a Switch Pump System link
- This will disable future use of Eros Pods
- In Settings -> Pump there will be a new option for Omnipod Dash
- (As well as just Omnipod)
- Choose Dash and it will ask you two questions:
- Warning time before expiration
- Warning when Units fall below
Answer these aand then you are confirmed. The rest is as before:
- Fill the Pod
- Click to pair Pod
- Click to insert Cannula
