OmniPod Care and Maintenance

Storage

Store unopened OmniPods in a cool, dry place. Extreme heat or
cold can damage pods and cause them to malfunction. If pods
are exposed to extreme temperatures, inspect them carefully
before use. Pods are sterile unless packaging is opened or dam-
aged. Do not apply or use a pod if its sterile packaging is opened
or damaged.

Cleaning

OmniPods are watertight. If you need to clean a pod, you can
gently wash it with a clean, damp cloth. Or you can use mild soap
and water. However, do not use strong detergents or solvents.
They can damage the pod's casing or irritate the infusion site.
Hold the pod securely and take care while cleaning
it, so the cannula doesn't kink and the pod doesn't
become detached from your skin.

Personal Diabetes Manager Care and Maintenance

Storage
When you are not actively using the Personal Diabetes Manager
(PDM) to enter or change programs, you can store it in a conve-
nient, nearby location. The storage location should be cool and
dry.
Do not store or leave the PDM where it may be
exposed to extreme temperatures, such as inside a
car. Extreme heat or cold can cause the device to
malfunction.
If the PDM is not safe from children or others who may press the
buttons by accident, consider using the optional PDM lock
safety feature to prevent accidental program changes (see
Chapter 6, Using the Personal Diabetes Manager).
