Insulet Corporation 019 Manuale Utente

1. Use an alcohol prep swab to clean the top of the insulin vial, 

then discard the prep swab.

2. Securely twist the fill needle onto the syringe (Figure 5-7).
3. Pull outward to remove the protective cap from the needle 

(Figure 5-8). Save the cap; you will need it later.

       

4. Determine the amount of insulin you need to insert into the 

Pod. For example, if you will use this Pod for 72 hours, you 
need enough insulin to last you 72 hours. Your healthcare 
provider will help you determine the correct amount.

  

Before filling a Pod, ensure that no other Pods are 
being activated within 61 cm (24 inches) of your 
PDM.

Before filling a Pod with insulin, ensure that the Pod 
is above 10° Celsius. If the Pod has been exposed to 
temperatures below 10° C, then allow the Pod to be 
brought back to room temperature before filling it 
with insulin.

Use care after removing the needle cap and 
exposing the fill needle.

Only use room temperature insulin when filling 
the Pod.

The Pod requires a minimum of 85 units of insulin to 

begin operation.

The Pod can deliver up to 200 units of insulin.
