Avoid extreme temperatures
The Pod’s operating temperature is between 40° F and 104° F
(between 5° C and 40° C). Under normal circumstances, your
body temperature will keep the Pod well within this range.
Water and your Pod
The Pod is watertight to a depth of 25 feet for up to 60 minutes
(IPX8). After exposure to water, rinse off the Pod with clean water
and gently dry it with a towel.
Safe 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, allow them to return to room
temperature before use.
Do NOT expose a Pod to direct sunlight for long peri-
ods of time. It is recommended that you remove your
Pod prior to using hot tubs, whirlpools, or saunas.
These conditions could expose the Pod to extreme
temperatures and may also affect the insulin inside
the Pod.
Remember to check your blood glucose levels frequently
before and after removing the Pod. Check with your
healthcare provider for guidelines on removing the Pod
for extended periods.
Insulin degrades at high temperatures and will freeze
near 32° F (0° C). Check the insulin manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Do not expose your Pod to water at depths greater
than 25 feet or for more than 60 minutes. Check
often to make sure the Pod and soft cannula are
securely attached and in place. If the cannula is not
properly inserted, hyperglycemia may result.
The PDM is not waterproof. Do not place it in or near
water.
Pods are sterile unless their packaging is opened or
damaged. Do NOT apply or use a Pod if its sterile
packaging is opened or damaged, as this may
increase the risk of infection or serious injury.
