SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS |
Activate a New Pod
If the Personal Diabetes Manager screen times out during the process, press the Power button to continue.
WARNING:
+ The Personal Diabetes Manager will generate an automatic reminder to check your blood glucose 1.5 hours after each Pod change. If the cannula is not properly inserted,
hyperglycemia may result. Verify there is no wetness or scent of insulin, which may indicate the cannula has dislodged.
+ NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill port while the Pod is on your body. Doing so may result in unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.
+Verify cannula does not extend beyond adhesive backing once needle cap is removed.
