System, call Customer Care.

Store all Omnipod DASH™ System products and supplies, including

exposed to extreme temperatures may not function properly.

Pod and Insulin Care

This section describes proper care of your Pod. To order all Omnipod DASH™
System products and supplies, call Customer Care.

Pod and insulin storage

Extreme heat or cold can damage Pods and cause them to malfunction. If Pods are
exposed to extreme temperatures, inspect them carefully before use.
It is especially important to store your insulin in a well-controlled environment.
Inspect insulin before using it; never use insulin that looks cloudy or discoloured.
Insulin that is cloudy or discoloured may be old, contaminated or inactive. Check
the insulin manufacturer' s instructions for use and the insulin' s expiry date.

Pods and the environment

Avoid extreme temperatures
The Pod's operating temperature is between 23 °C and 37 °C (between 73 °F and
98.6 °F). Under normal circumstances, your body temperature keeps the Pod well
within this range.
Caution: Never use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the Pod. Extreme heat can
damage the electronics.
