Before You Remove the Hard Plastic Tab
Before you remove
the hard plastic tab,
hold the Pod properly
and securely:
1. Turn the Pod so the
hard plastic tab is up
and facing you.
2. Hold the hard plastic
tab between your
thumb (on the flat
side) and your index
finger (underneath).
3. Hold the Pod steady
with your other hand.
Snap Off the Hard
Plastic Tab
1. Pry or snap off the
hard plastic tab by
lifting it with your
index finger like
when opening a
beverage can. You'll
feel resistance, but
keep lifting the tab
until it snaps off.
2. Throw the hard plastic tab away.
When you snap off a hard plastic tab, it is normal to see a drop
of insulin.
3. If the Pod is dropped, wet, dirty, damaged, or its cannula extends
beyond the adhesive backing, dispose of the Pod and begin again
with a new Pod.
Note: Do not use the Pod if you have dropped it, as it could
result in infection.
