Using the Pod

Select the infusion site
Before applying a new Pod, you must first select an appropriate
infusion site . Due to ease of access and viewing, the abdomen is
often used. Your healthcare provider may suggest other poten-
tial sites that, like the abdomen, typically have a layer of fatty
tissue, such as the hip, back of upper arm, upper thigh, or lower
back (Figure 5-13 on the next page).
After filling the Pod with insulin, you should complete
the Pod change process within 60 minutes. As a
reminder that the Pod has been filled, it will beep
every 5 minutes to indicate that time is passing. If you
do not set up the Pod within 60 minutes, you must
deactivate and discard it.
Once a Pod is activated and communicates with the
PDM, it can only receive commands from that PDM,
not from any other.

Avoid sites where belts, waistbands, or tight clothing
may rub against, disturb, or dislodge the Pod. Also
avoid sites where the Pod will be affected by folds of
skin.
Change the site each time you apply a new Pod. A
new infusion site should be at least 2.5 cm (1 inch)
away from the last site. (Using the same location
repeatedly may reduce insulin absorption.)
Do NOT apply the Pod within 5 cm (2 inches) of your
navel or over a mole, a tattoo, or scar, where insulin
absorption may be reduced.
