• Pod is intact and in its original condition.
• If Pod is accidentally dropped, discard it; sterility may be
compromised.
If you are unsure the Pod is ready to be applied to the site,
press “Discard” and do not use it (Figure 5-14). Select a new
Pod.
3. Using the pull tabs, remove and discard the white paper
backing from the adhesive tape (Figure 5-16).
4. Apply the Pod to the prepared infusion site. Press firmly to
secure it to your skin.
Verify cannula does not extend
beyond adhesive backing once
needle cap is removed.
Do not remove the needle cap until you are
instructed to do so by the PDM. When you remove
the needle cap, a drop of insulin may be visible at the
end of the cannula or in the well.
For the Pod to work best, apply it:
a. Crosswise or at a slight angle on your abdo-
men, hip, lower back, or buttocks (in Figure 5-
17)
b. Up and down or at a slight angle on your
upper arm or thigh (in Figure 5-17)
c. At least one inch away from the last site
