5 Activating and Changing Your Pod
5.4. Filling, Activating, Applying, and Starting the Pod
Warning: NEVER use a Pod if, while you are lling the Pod, you feel
signicant resistance while pressing the plunger down on the ll syringe. Do
not try to force the insulin into the Pod. Signicant resistance may indicate
that the Pod has a mechanical defect. Using this Pod could result in under-
delivery of insulin that can lead to hyperglycemia.
Warning: NEVER inject large bubbles or pockets of air when lling the Pod
with insulin. Air in the system takes up space where insulin should be and
can aect insulin delivery. Doing so could result in over-delivery or under-
delivery of insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Caution: ALWAYS insert the ll syringe into the ll port and not into any
other location on the Pod. Do not insert the ll syringe more than once into
the ll port. Use only the ll syringe and needle that came with your Pod. e
ll syringe is intended for single use only and should only be used with the
Omnipod 5 System. Failure to follow the instructions above may result in
damage to your Pod.
