Insert cannula and begin insulin delivery
1. To insert the soft cannula, press Start (Figure 5-15).
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 5-18).
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 5-17) 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.
