SET UP A NEW POD

1. In the "Pod Info" screen, tap "SET UP NEW POD"
   
2. Carefully follow the onscreen instructions
   

1. Collect the following supplies:
   + Omnipod DASH™ System Personal Diabetes Manager
   + Unopened Omnipod DASH™ System Pod
   + Alcohol swabs
   + Vial of room temperature rapid-acting U-100 insulin
2. Wash your hands with soap and water. Clean the top of the insulin vial with an alcohol swab.
3. Remove the fill needle and syringe from the Pod's tray. Keep the Pod in its tray during set up. Confirm the Pod's needle cap is blue. This ensures your Pod is compatible with your Omnipod DASH System Personal Diabetes Manager. Twist the fill needle clockwise onto the top of the syringe. Do not use any other type of needle or filling device besides the syringe provided with each Pod.
4. Remove the syringe's protective cap from the needle. Draw air into the syringe equal to the amount of insulin you will use. You must fill your syringe with at least 85 units of insulin. Insert the needle into the vial and inject air.
5. Turn the vial upside down and slowly withdraw insulin. Tap or flick the filled syringe to remove any bubbles.
6. Remove the needle from the vial and insert it into the Pod's insulin fill port. An arrow on the white paper backing points to the fill port. Do not inject insulin into any other location on the Pod. The Pod should still be in its package during fill.
   To ensure proper fill, do not insert the fill syringe at an angle into the fill port.
7. Inject the insulin into the fill port. The Pod beeps twice. Remove the needle from the insulin fill port. Replace the needle's protective cap and remove the needle from the fill syringe for proper sharps disposal.
   NEVER inject air into the fill port. Doing so may result in unintended or interrupted insulin delivery.
   NEVER use a Pod if you feel resistance while depressing the plunger of the fill syringe. This condition can result in interrupted insulin delivery.
8. With the Pod still in its tray place it next to and touching the Personal Diabetes Manager to ensure proper communication. Press "NEXT" on the Personal Diabetes Manager. The system performs a series of safety checks and automatically primes the Pod.
9. Your Pod is now ready for application and cannula insertion. For more information, please refer to "Changing your Pod" in your Omnipod DASH™ System User Guide.
