4. Determine the amount of insulin you need to insert into the
Pod. For example, if you will use this Pod for 48 hours, you
need enough insulin to last you 48 hours. Your healthcare
provider will help you determine the correct amount.
The Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of insulin to
begin operation.
The Pod can deliver up to 200 units of insulin.
5. Draw air into the syringe up to the amount of insulin you
want.
6. Insert the needle into the insulin vial and inject the air. This
makes it easier to withdraw insulin from the vial.
7. Turn the vial and syringe upside down. Withdraw insulin from
the vial into the syringe, expelling any and all air or air bubbles.
Fill at least to the MIN (minimum) fill line (Figure 5-9). Refer to
the Care Giver Guide as an additional reference.
Any air bubbles present in the fill syringe could be
transferred into the reservoir during the fill process.
The pod does not purge air that is introduced into the
reservoir by way of customer fill.
Failure to expel air bubbles from the fill syringe
may result in interrupted insulin delivery.
Make sure there is no air in the syringe before
attempting to fill a Pod with insulin.

8. Remove the needle from the vial and insert it straight down
into the insulin fill port on the underside of the Pod
(Figure 5-10).
Be sure to only insert the fill syringe into the fill
port. Attempting to inject insulin into any other
location on the Pod may result in damage to the
Pod or loss of insulin.
