WARNINGS:
NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill
port while the Pod is on the individual’s body. Doing so may result in
unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.
If you observe blood in the cannula, check the individual’s blood glucose
more frequently to ensure insulin delivery has not been affected. If you
observe unexpected elevated blood glucose levels, change the Pod.
Check the infusion site after insertion to ensure that the cannula was
properly inserted. The individual should check their blood glucose 1.5 to
2 hours after each Pod change and check the infusion site periodically.
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.
At least once a day, use the Pod’s viewing window to check the site for
signs of infection and to confirm that the soft cannula is securely in place.
Be aware of the signs of infection, including pain, swelling, redness,
discharge, or heat at the site. If you suspect an infection, immediately
remove the Pod and apply a new one in a different location. Then call the
individual’s healthcare provider.
