Omnipod wearable insulin pump teardown

[bigclivedotcom]

That's a really neat mechanism. Particularly the spring clutch onto the shaft and muscle wire ratchet. I guess that the risk of air injection is not a major risk due to the tiny amount being does at a time? Not so keen on the high power stabby bit. Particularly when it happens automatically at a relatively random time once attached to you.

Great video sir, especially for me as Type 1. I've just started using an Abbott freestyle Libra which is a type of wireless constant glucose monitor, I took the wireless sensor apart with a view to doing a tear down then realised I don't know a great deal! 🤔 thanks again

I hope the communication protocol is secure.

thermal image on the wire as its working - would make an interesting clock movement device

I thought the break-off corner was going to be for decommissioning unsold out of date units so they didn't get onto the black market (til I saw the caption)
great teardown - medical stuff seems a bit different. it's got to be as idiot proof as consumer electronics if you're sending patients off with it, but totally reliable and well engineered.

You can't take the blue needle cover of before filling it. :) I use it, super easy & I love it!

Great great video! I hate that I can not turn off the sounds from it. I think they made it impossible for safety reasons and to protect themselves. However i really want to turn the sounds off because it disturbs in my work. Any solution for that?

Loved this video a year ago - just now talking to a coworker about how she is getting a new insulin pump...sure enough it's this omnipod. In the USA it costs 300 dollars...Here in Canada it costs 6300 dollars for the omni ecosystem plus 300/mo in pods. Crazy.

I had no idea muscle wire existed. That's neat stuff!

90% of your videos i find myself mentally screaming to move your hand away from the sharp, pointy or potentially dangerous objects xD

I love medical tech like this, such clever and interesting designs.

[Keep-Exploring]

Great video! anywhere to buy a muscle wire from?

[michaelhodge]

do a teardown video about the aeg cordless brushless brad nail gun.

[magnets]

How does it deal with air in the tank? Or are you not supposed to get it in there in the first place?

[josemontoya-leyva]

I am wondering if the beeping noise coming from the Pod at the end of treatment is a time specific buzzer that is independent of the Crontroller?

[batjr]

So the cannula remains under your skin not the needle?

[dannyoconnor]

Will disabling the obnoxous alarm speaker with a push pin affect the function of the unit please

[marksdronechannel]

Very interesting device. Don't think I've ever seen mussel wire before.

[DantalionNl]

Judging by how most devices of this size handle EM communication it said its probably using the 433 MHz band for wireless sensors, door alarms etc.

Built for low interference but I wonder if induction could cause the device to pump.

Could it be possible to jam one in those 3-5 coil induction thingy's :) And change the intensity up and down to try interfere with it?
