Activating and Changing Your Pod 5
Pod setup is complete. e screen shows details about the active Pod and a list
of reminders.
Once the cannula is inserted, the Pod automatically lls the cannula with
insulin. e Pod then begins delivering the basal rate of insulin according to
the Basal Program in progress.
e cannula can be inserted only once with each Pod.
6. Review the list of active reminders, then tap CLOSE.
Note: Ninety minutes aer Pod activation, a Check BG reminder prompts you
to check your blood glucose level and infusion site. is additional safety feature
helps ensure that the cannula was properly inserted. If a valid CGM value is
received, this reminder will not display. See "
Check BG Aer Pod Change" on
page 220.
Warning: Never inject insulin (or anything else) into the ll port while
the Pod is on your body. Doing so may result in unintended or interrupted
insulin delivery.
Caution: Be sure to check the alarm function at every Pod change (see "Check
alarms" on page 155).
