Pod Care and Maintenance
Storage
Store unopened Pods 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 damaged. Do
not apply or use a Pod if its sterile packaging is opened or
damaged.
Cleaning
Pods are waterproof. 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 .

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.
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).
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.
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.
