9. Depress the syringe plunger to completely empty the insulin
into the Pod. The Pod will beep, indicating that the System is
ready to proceed to the next step.
10. Remove the needle from the insulin fill port. The port is self-
sealing; insulin will not leak after the needle is removed.
11. Place the protective cap back on the needle and remove the
needle from the syringe.
12. After you fill the Pod, it will beep twice. After hearing the
beeps, PDM and Pod should be adjacent and touching,
either in or out of tray to ensure proper communication
during priming (Figure 5-11). Press Next .
13. The Pod will only beep if you have filled it with at least 85 units
of insulin. If you have filled the Pod with more than 85 units
and still do not hear the 2 beeps, please call Customer Care.
14. The System performs a series of safety checks and automati-
cally primes the Pod (Figure 5-12). Once complete, the PDM
beeps, letting you know that the priming and safety checks
were successful.
Do not use any other type of needle or filling
device besides the syringe provided with each
Pod.
NEVER use a Pod if you hear a crackling noise or
feel resistance when you depress the plunger.
These conditions can result in interrupted insulin
delivery of insulin.
Do not insert the fill syringe into the fill port more
than once.
NEVER inject air into the fill port. Doing so may
result in unintended or interrupted insulin deliv-
ery.
The fill syringe is intended for single use only and
should be used only with the mylife OmniPod
System.
As a safety feature, the communication distance be-
tween the Pod and PDM is reduced during activation.
Once a Pod is primed and communicates with the
PDM, the full communication range is restored and
the Pod can receive commands only from that PDM.
