Using the Pod

Fill a new Pod
1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the top of the insulin vial,
then discard the prep swab.
2. Securely twist the fill needle onto the syringe (Figure 5-7).
3. Pull outward to remove the protective cap from the needle
(Figure 5-8). Save the cap; you will need it later.
4. Determine the amount of insulin you need to insert into the
Pod. For example, if you will use this Pod for 48 hours, you
need enough insulin to last you 48 hours. Your healthcare
provider will help you determine the correct amount.
5. Draw air into the syringe up to the amount of insulin you
want.
6. Insert the needle into the insulin vial and inject the air. This
makes it easier to withdraw insulin from the vial.
Before filling a Pod with insulin, ensure that the Pod
is above 50° Fahrenheit (10° Celsius). If the Pod has
been exposed to temperatures below 50° F (10° C),
then allow the Pod to be brought back to room tem-
perature before filling it with insulin.

Use care after removing the needle cap and
exposing the fill needle.
Only use room temperature insulin when filling
the Pod.
The Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of insulin to
begin operation.
The Pod can deliver up to 200 units of insulin.
