1
Collect the following supplies:
+ Omnipod DASH System Personal Diabetes Manager
™
+ Unopened Omnipod DASH
+ Alcohol swabs
+ Vial of room temperature rapid-acting U-100 insulin
2
Wash your hands with soap and water. Clean the top of the insulin
vial with an alcohol swab.
3
Remove the fill needle and syringe from the Pod's tray. Keep the
Pod in its tray during set up. Confirm the Pod's needle cap is blue.
This ensures your Pod is compatible with your Omnipod DASH
System Personal Diabetes Manager. Twist the fill needle clockwise
onto the top of the syringe. Do not use any other type of needle or
filling device besides the syringe provided with each Pod.
4
Remove the syringe's protective cap from the needle. Draw air into
the syringe equal to the amount of insulin you will use. You must fill
your syringe with at least 85 units of insulin. Insert the needle into
the vial and inject air.
5
Turn the vial upside down and slowly withdraw insulin. Tap or flick
the filled syringe to remove any bubbles.
6
Remove the needle from the vial and insert it into the Pod's insulin
fill port. An arrow on the white paper backing points to the fill port.
Do not inject insulin into any other location on the Pod. The Pod
should still be in its package during fill.
To ensure proper fill, do not insert the fill
syringe at an angle into the fill port.

7
Inject the insulin into the fill port. The Pod beeps twice. Remove
the needle from the insulin fill port. Replace the needle's protective
cap and remove the needle from the fill syringe for proper sharps
disposal.
NEVER inject air into the fill port. Doing
so may result in unintended or interrupted
insulin delivery.
NEVER use a Pod if you feel resistance while
depressing the plunger of the fill syringe.
This condition can result in interrupted insulin
™ delivery.
8 With the Pod still in its tray place it next to and touching the
Personal Diabetes Manager to ensure proper communication. Press
"NEXT" on the Personal Diabetes Manager. The system performs a
series of safety checks and automatically primes the Pod.
9
Your Pod is now ready for application and cannula insertion. For
more information, please refer to Chapter 3 "Changing your Pod" in
your Omnipod DASH
