To facilitate insertion, place one
hand over the Pod and make
a wide pinch around the skin
surrounding the viewing window;
this step is critical if the insertion
site does not have much
fatty tissue.
WARNING:
+ The PDM 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.
