In this video, we will demonstrate how to fill the syringe.

On the outside of the package, please note the following.

Number one,

the amount of insulin per day is shown to ensure you are using the correct pod.

If you are unsure of the prescribed rate, please consult your healthcare provider.

And number two, the type of insulin that is indicated for this device, which is compatible U-100 rapid-acting insulin.

You may notice the colors used to show the daily rate on the packaging match the outside of the box.

Remove the paper label from the package by pulling the label from the corner of the pod package.

Completely remove the label from the package.

Leave the pod in its tray.

Keeping the pod in the tray will help keep it steady while you fill it.

Next, use an alcohol swab to clean the top of the vial of insulin.

Remove the two pieces of the fill syringe from the packaging.

Connect the needle to the syringe, then twist it to secure the needle onto the syringe.

Carefully pull outward to remove the protective syringe cap.

Next, draw air into the fill syringe equal to the "Fill Here" line indicated on the syringe.

This makes it easier to fill the syringe with insulin.

The "Fill Here" line amount may differ with different prescribed daily rates.

The "Fill Here" line is marked this way so there will be enough insulin for the pod to work properly for 72 hours or three days.

Insert the needle straight down into the center of the top of the vial of insulin.

Slowly push the air into the vial of insulin and continue holding the plunger down.

With the needle still in the vial, turn the vial and syringe upside down so the vial is above the syringe.

Cradle the vial and syringe in one hand so that you can use the other hand to pull down on the plunger.

Pull the plunger down to fill the syringe with insulin to the "Fill Here" line.

The syringe must be filled to the "Fill Here" line.

If you do not fill the syringe with enough insulin, the pod may expire before the intended 72 hours.

To remove any air bubbles in the syringe, with the needle still in the vial, click the side of the syringe with your finger to make the bubbles rise to the top.

Bubbles or pockets of air can take up space where insulin should be and can affect insulin delivery.

Slowly push up on the plunger to allow any remaining air bubbles to escape back into the vial.

You may need to do this a few times.

Make sure the amount of insulin in the syringe is still at the "Fill Here" line.

You may now remove the syringe from the vial.
