| ## Do I still need a PDM with Omnipod Loop? | ||
|
|
||
| No, pods are monogamous little creatures. They will pair with only one device at a time for safety reasons...so a pod is either paired with a PDM or your *Loop* app on your iPhone. In other words, your PDM can stay in the diabetes closet while you are Looping. You cannot use the PDM for a pod that has been activated with the *Loop* app. That doesn't mean you should get rid of your PDM if you have one. Instead, keep it for backup situations if you lose your phone. See below for what to do if you lose your phone or RileyLink. | ||
| You don't need a PDM to use Pods with your OS-AID system but you might need a PDM serial number registered to your Insulet account to get replacements for failed Pods. |

| The Omnipod Common pairing protocol is the same for all pods. The difference is that Omnipod requires a RileyLink compatible device and Omnipod DASH does not. There are also slight differences in some of the text and graphics, e.g., Omnipod DASH uses a blue needle cap and Omnipod has a clear needle cap. | ||

| There is a new "Pod Keep Alive" option at the bottom of the "Omnipod DASH" screen. This is intended to assist users who have both an iPhone 16 (all models) or 17e and [DASH pods with a InPlay BLE (Atlas) board](../faqs/omnipod-faqs.md#atlas-or-inplay-dash-pods){: target="_blank" }. Model 17 phones, except for the 17e, do not exhibit this problem. No action is taken automatically unless both these cases are detected to be true. | ||
