5.2. Setting Up a New Pod
1. Navigate to: Menu button ( ) > Pod
or
Home > POD INFO
2. Tap SET UP NEW POD.
5.3. Fill the Syringe with Insulin
Warning: NEVER inject large bubbles or pockets of air when lling the Pod
with insulin. Air in the system takes up space where insulin should be and
can aect insulin delivery. Doing so could result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.
e next step is to ll the syringe that came with the Pod (the “ll syringe”) with
insulin
1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the top of the
insulin vial.
2. Securely twist the ll needle onto the ll syringe.
3. Pull outwards to remove the protective cap
from the needle.
4. Determine how much insulin you will put
into the Pod. For example, to use the Pod for
72 hours, determine how much insulin you
will use over the next 72 hours. Your healthcare
provider can help you determine the correct
amount.
Note: e Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of U-100 insulin to begin
operation. e Pod can deliver up to 200 units of U-100 insulin.
5. Draw air into the ll syringe up to the amount of insulin you want.
6. Insert the needle into the insulin vial and inject the air. Injecting air makes it
easier to withdraw insulin from the vial.
