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 bub-
bles. Fill at least to the MIN (minimum) fill line (Figure 5-9). 
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).
   
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.
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.
To ensure proper fill, do not insert the fill syringe 
at an angle into the fill port.
