Fill the Syringe with Insulin
The next step is to fill the syringe that came with the Pod (the "fill syringe") with
insulin:
1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the top of the
insulin vial.
2. Securely twist the fill needle onto the fill syringe.
3. Pull outward to remove the protective cap from
the needle. Save the cap; you will need it later.
4. Determine how much insulin you will put into
the Pod. For example, to use the Pod for 48
hours, determine how much insulin you will
use over the next 48 hours. Your healthcare
provider can help you determine the correct amount.
Note: The Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of U-100 insulin to begin
operation. The Pod can hold up to 200 units of U-100 insulin.
5. Draw air into the fill syringe up to the amount of insulin you want.
6. Insert the needle into the insulin vial and inject the air. Injecting air makes it
easier to withdraw insulin from the vial.
