1. Assemble the following supplies: Vial of
insulin at room temperature (U-100, rapid
acting), one sealed OmniPod,PDM, and
alcohol prep swab (A).

2. Wash your hands.

3. Remove OmniPod from its sterile packaging.

4. Use the alcohol prep swab to clean the top

of the insulin vial.

5. Assemble the fill syringe
by twisting the needle
onto the syringe (B)
and then remove the
protective cap (C).

6. Draw air into the fill syringe equal to the
amount of insulin you require for 72 hours
and depress air into the vial of insulin.

7. Withdraw insulin from vial and fill the
syringe with enough insulin for 72 hours,
or at least to the MIN fill line (D). Remove
any air bubbles from the syringe.

8. Insert the needle straight down into the fill
port on the underside of the OmniPod (E).

9. Completely empty the syringe into the
OmniPod.The pod will beep indicating the
system is ready to proceed to the next step.

10. After filling the pod, press Next (F) to

begin priming. Once the pod successfully
completes its priming and safety checks,
the PDM will beep.

Once your PDM is set up, it will ask if you would
like to activate a pod. Follow the instructions
on your PDM to activate a new OmniPod.

1. Select and prepare the infusion site (A) by
disinfecting it with an alcohol prep swab.
Let the site air dry thoroughly. Do not
blow on the site to dry it.

infusion site. Then run your finger around
the adhesive to secure it and press Next (D).

4. To insert the cannula, press Start (E).
The OmniPod automatically inserts the
cannula and delivers a prime bolus to fill
the cannula with insulin. It takes a few
seconds to complete the insertion process.

PDM indicates that the pod is active and
delivering insulin at the programmed
basal rate.

NEVER inject air into the fill port. Doing so may result in
unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.

NEVER inject insulin (or anything else) into the fill port
while the pod is on your body. Doing so may result in
unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.

To ensure proper fill, do not insert fill
syringe at an angle into the fill port.

Do not use any other type of needle or
filling device besides the syringe provided
with each pod.

NEVER use a pod if,during fill, you detect any crackling noise or
resistance while depressing the plunger of the fill syringe.Using a
pod with these conditions could result in under-delivery of insulin.
