To Fill the Pod with Insulin
After you fill the Pod with insulin, the Pod will immediately prepare to
insert the cannula 3 minutes after you see the Pod's amber light.
After filling, do not delay in completing the
steps needed to apply the Pod to your skin.
Always handle the Pod with care, because if you
drop it, you need to start over with a new Pod.
1. Find the arrow on the underside of the
Pod. The arrow points to the insulin fill
port. Only the insulin fill port has an arrow
pointing to it.
Tip: Hold the Pod steady in its tray to make filling easier.
2. Insert the fill syringe straight down—not at an angle—into the
insulin fill port.
3. Slowly push down the syringe plunger to completely fill the Pod.
Listen for two beeps to tell you that the Pod knows you are filling it.
4. Make sure to completely empty the fill syringe into the Pod, even
after hearing the 2 beeps.
After filling the Pod, ALWAYS continue to the next step
immediately. The Pod light is operating normally if there is no
light showing on the Pod at first. Soon after filling, you will see the
amber light which tells you to follow the instructions to apply the
Pod to your body. If 3 minutes pass after you see the amber light
and before applying the filled Pod, the Pod becomes unusable.
Note: If you filled the Pod and still do not hear the two
beeps, please call Customer Care.
5. Remove the fill syringe from the insulin fill port. The port is self-
sealing; insulin will not leak after the fill syringe is removed.
6. Discard the fill syringe in a sharps container.
Caution:
ALWAYS dispose of a used Pod or fill syringe
according to local disposal guidelines.
