Insert cannula and begin insulin delivery

1. To insert the soft cannula, press Start (Figure 5-18).
Figure 5-18
If you are applying a Pod in a place that does not have
a lot of fatty tissue or is very lean, pinch the skin
around the Pod (Figure 5-19) after you press Start and
hold it until the cannula inserts. Occlusions may result
in lean areas if you do not use this technique.
The soft cannula is tinted light blue to improve visibility at
the insertion site.
Figure 5-19
The Pod automatically inserts the soft cannula below your
skin. It takes a few seconds to complete the insertion process.
Once the cannula is inserted, the Pod delivers a prime bolus to
fill the cannula with insulin (Figure 5-20).
