Insulet Corporation 019 Manuale Utente

Figure 5-21 on the previous page also displays a reminder to 
check the infusion site and cannula. Make sure the Pod is 
securely attached to your skin. You can see the cannula 
through the small viewing window on the Pod.

When you see the pink slide insert in this position, it means

that the cannula is inserted (Figure 5-22). 

2. Press Yes if you can see that the cannula is properly inserted. 

The PDM returns to the Status screen.

Press No if you see a problem with the cannula. The PDM 
instructs you to deactivate the new Pod (Figure 5-23 on 
the next page). Press Discard to restart the process with 
a new Pod.

Check the infusion site after insertion to ensure 
that the cannula was properly inserted. You
should check your blood glucose 1.5 to 2 hours
after each Pod change and check the infusion site
periodically. If the cannula is not properly 
inserted, hyperglycemia may result. Verify there is 
no wetness or scent of insulin, which may indi-
cate the cannula has dislodged.

If you observe blood in the cannula, check your 
blood glucose more frequently to ensure insulin 
delivery has not been affected. If you experience 
unexpected elevated blood glucose levels, 
change your Pod.

To help avoid condensation from occurring in the 

viewing window, make sure both your Pod and your 
insulin are at room temperature.

Condensation may occur in the viewing window, due 
to perspiration.
