4. Determine the amount of insulin you need to insert into the
Pod. For example, if you will use this Pod for 48 hours, you
need enough insulin to last you 48 hours. Your healthcare
provider will help you determine the correct amount.
5. Draw air into the syringe up to the amount of insulin you
want.
6. Insert the needle into the insulin vial and inject the air. This
makes it easier to withdraw insulin from the vial.
7. Turn the vial and syringe upside down. Withdraw insulin from
the vial into the syringe, expelling any and all air or air bub-
bles. Fill at least to the MIN (minimum) fill line (Figure 5-5).
Refer to the Care Giver Guide as an additional reference.
8. Remove the needle from the vial and insert it straight down
into the insulin fill port on the underside of the Pod
(Figure 5-6).
Use care after removing the needle cap and
exposing the fill needle.
Only use room temperature insulin when filling
the Pod.
The Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of insulin to
begin operation.
The Pod can deliver up to 200 units of insulin.
Make sure there is no air in the syringe before
attempting to fill a Pod with insulin.
Be sure to only insert the fill syringe into the fill
port. Attempting to inject insulin into any other
location on the Pod may result in damage to the
Pod or loss of insulin.
