11. Place the protective cap back on the needle and remove the
needle from the syringe.
12. Place the capped needle in a sharps container. Dispose of
used needles according to local waste disposal regulations.
13. After you fill the OmniPod, the pod will beep. After you hear
the beep, press Next (Figure 5-11). The System performs a
series of safety checks and automatically primes the pod.
Once complete, the PDM beeps, letting you know that the
priming and safety checks were successful.
NEVER inject air into the fill port. Doing so may
result in unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.
NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill
port while the pod is on your body. Doing so may
result in unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.
The fill syringe is intended for single use only and
should be used only with the OmniPod System.
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.
