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.
Warnings:
NEVER use a Pod if you feel resistance when you depress the plunger.
is condition can result in interrupted insulin delivery.
NEVER inject air into the ll port. Doing so may result in unintended or
interrupted insulin delivery.
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. Place the protective cap back on the needle and remove the needle from the
ll syringe.
7. Place the PDM next to the Pod so they are
touching. e Pod can be in its plastic tray
during this process.
8. Press Next. A screen appears telling you that
the Pod is priming.
9. e Omnipod® System performs a series of safety
checks and automatically primes the Pod. Listen for
the beeps that indicate that the Pod is successfully
activated.
Note: e communication distance between the Pod
and PDM is reduced during activation. Once activated,
the Pod can receive commands only from the PDM that
activated it.
Note: Aer lling the Pod with insulin, apply the
Pod immediately. e Pod beeps every 5 minutes as a
reminder. If you do not apply the Pod within 60 minutes, you must deactivate and
dispose of it.
If you see a communication error message when you attempt to activate your Pod,
see "Failure when activating or sending a command to a Pod" on page 103.
