5 Activating and Changing Your Pod
Fill the Pod with Insulin
To ll the Pod with insulin
(screen step
)
1. Locate the arrow on the underside
of the Pod. e arrow points to the
insulin ll port.
Tip: You can leave the Pod in its tray
during lling and activating.
2. Insert the ll syringe straight down –
not at an angle – into the ll port.
3. Depress the ll syringe plunger to
transfer the insulin into the Pod.
Listen for two beeps from the Pod during
the lling process (screen step
):
4. Be sure to completely empty the ll
syringe, even aer hearing the two
beeps.
Note: e Pod must contain a
minimum of 85 units of insulin to
function. e Pod beeps twice aer
it has been lled with 85 units of insulin. If you lled the Pod with more than
85units and still do not hear the two beeps, contact Customer Care.
Note: Aer lling the Pod, continue to the next step immediately. If two
hours pass before activating the lled Pod, the Pod becomes unusable.
5. Remove the needle from the insulin ll port. e port is self-sealing; insulin
will not leak aer the needle is removed.
6. Discard the ll needle in a sharps container.
Activate the Pod
To activate the Pod:
1. Place the Controller next to the Pod so
they are touching. e Pod should be in its
plastic tray during this process.
Note: ALWAYS ensure that no other
Pods are being activated within 6 metres
(20 feet) of your Omnipod 5 App before
lling a Pod. If the App detects more
than one Pod, you will not be able to
proceed.
