The Pod

The Pod is a small device that you fill with insulin and wear directly on your body.

The Pod receives insulin delivery instructions from the PDM. It then delivers insulin into your body through a small, flexible tube called a cannula. The Pod is durable and waterproof* and is applied to your skin with an adhesive, similar to an adhesive bandage. It can be put anywhere on your body you’d normally give yourself an injection for up to 3 days or 72 hours of nonstop insulin delivery.

*The Pod has a waterproof IP28 rating for up to 7.6 metres (25 feet) for 60 minutes. This means that the Pod can be kept at a depth of 7.6 meters (25 feet) underwater for 60 minutes. The PDM is not waterproof.

The Pod includes a small, flexible cannula that inserts automatically with the push of a button.

The Pod delivers precise, personalized doses of insulin into your body based on the set and variable rates that you program into a handheld Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM).

The Pod communicates wirelessly with the Personal Diabetes Manager to program insulin delivery.

Unlike traditional insulin pumps that require tubing, the Pod can be worn comfortably and discreetly under your clothes while carrying the PDM separately in a backpack or purse.‡ Unlike users of other insulin pumps, you’ll never have to worry about snagging, tangling, or feeling tethered by tubing.

‡At start-up, the Pod and Personal Diabetes Manager must be adjacent. During normal operation, the Personal Diabetes Manager must be within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the Pod for bolus delivery.
