Clean the insulin bottle and assemble the fill syringe
1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the
top of the insulin bottle.
2. Leaving the Pod in its tray, remove
the 2 pieces of the fill syringe from the
packaging.
3. Twist the fill needle onto the fill syringe
for a secure fit.
4. Carefully pull outward to remove
the protective cap from the fill needle.
Discard cap.
Inject air into the insulin bottle
1. Locate the "Fill Here" line on the syringe.
2. Draw air into the fill syringe up to the "Fill Here" line.
3. Insert the fill needle straight down into the center of the insulin
bottle and inject the air. Injecting air makes it easier to withdraw
insulin from the bottle.
Warning:
NEVER inject large bubbles or pockets of air from
the fill syringe when filling a Pod with insulin. Air in the Pod
takes up space where the insulin should be and can affect
insulin delivery. Injecting air into a Pod could cause over-
delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which can lead to low
glucose or high glucose.
Turn the insulin bottle upside down
and fill the syringe
1. While holding the plunger down, turn
the insulin bottle and the fill syringe
upside down.
2. Pull down on the plunger to fill the
syringe to the "Fill Here" line.
Flick the syringe, push out air bubbles,
and fill to the "Fill Here" line
If there are air bubbles in the syringe, do the following steps. Repeat
as needed.
1. With the fill syringe still in the bottle, flick the side of the fill syringe
with your fingertip to dislodge any air bubbles so they collect at
the top of the syringe.
