Taking Care of Your Pod and Your Diabetes
Caution:
NEVER use a blow dryer or hot air to dry the Pod.
Extreme heat can damage the electronics.
If you remove your Pod to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures,
remember to apply a new Pod as soon as you can.
Note:
Check with your healthcare provider for guidelines if
you will not use a Pod for extended periods.
Note:
Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about your
rapid-acting insulin's maximum exposure temperature.

Water and Your Pod

Warning:
DO NOT expose your Pod to water at depths
greater than 25 feet (7.6 meters) or for longer than 60
minutes. That exposure can damage the Pod, which could
result in the over-delivery or under-delivery of insulin, which
can lead to low glucose or high glucose.
The Pod is waterproof for depths up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) for up to
60 minutes (IP28). After swimming or similar exposure to water, rinse
off the Pod with clean water and gently dry it with a towel.

4.3. Cleaning Your Pod

Pods are waterproof. If you need to clean a Pod, gently wash it with a
clean, damp cloth, or you can use mild soap and water. However, do
not use strong detergents or solvents, as they can damage the Pod's
casing or irritate the Pod site.
Caution: DO NOT use strong detergents or solvents to
clean a Pod. Using strong detergents or solvents could
irritate your skin.
