3.1 + The Pod automatically inserts
the cannula and delivers a
prime bolus to fill the cannula
with insulin. It takes a few
seconds to complete this
process. Release the skin
after the cannula inserts.
WARNING:
+ The PDM will generate an automatic reminder to check your blood glucose 1.5 hours after each Pod change. If the cannula is not properly inserted,
hyperglycaemia may result. Verify there is no wetness or odour of insulin, which may indicate the cannula has dislodged.
+ NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill port while the Pod is on your body. Doing so may result in unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.
Activate a new Pod

+ To facilitate insertion,

the viewing window; this
step is critical if the insertion
site does not have much
fatty tissue.
