Set Up the PDM:
-
- Power on the PDM by pressing the Power button.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to select your language, set the date and time, and adjust other personal settings.

Prepare the Pod:
- Remove a new pod from its packaging.

- Ensure there are no air bubbles in the reservoir to maintain accurate insulin delivery.
Activate and Apply the Pod:
- Place the PDM and the filled pod next to each other to establish communication.
- Use the PDM to initiate the priming process, during which the pod will perform safety checks and insert the cannula automatically.
- Once primed, remove the pod’s adhesive backing and apply it to a recommended infusion site, such as the abdomen, upper arm, thigh, or lower back.
- Secure the pod by pressing down firmly to ensure proper adhesion.
Initiate Insulin Delivery:
- After the pod is securely in place, use the PDM to start insulin delivery per your programmed basal rates.
For mealtime boluses or correction doses, utilize the PDM’s integrated Bolus Calculator to determine the appropriate insulin amount based on your current blood glucose levels and carbohydrate intake.
Monitor and Manage:
- Regularly monitor your blood glucose levels using a compatible blood glucose meter.
Enter or sync these readings into the PDM to maintain accurate records and assist in insulin dosing decisions.
Be attentive to the PDM’s alerts and notifications, which will inform you of any issues such as occlusions and low insulin levels.
