Warning: Before lling a Pod, ensure that no other Pods are being activated
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of your PDM.
Caution: Be sure to insert the ll syringe into the ll port and not any other
location on the Pod. Do not insert the ll syringe more than once into the ll port.
Only use the ll syringe and needle that came with your Pod. e ll syringe is
intended for single use only and should only be used with the Omnipod DASH™
System.
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 pairing.
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.
4. Listen for two beeps from the Pod
during the lling process. 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 in order to function.
e Pod beeps twice aer it has been lled
with 85 units of insulin. If you have lled
the Pod with more than 85 units and still
do not hear the two beeps, please call
Customer Care.
Note: Aer lling the Pod, continue to the next step immediately. If two hours
pass before pairing the lled Pod to the PDM, the Pod becomes unusable.
