Avoid Infusion Site Infections
•
Always wash your hands and use the
aseptic technique
to pre-
pare the infusion site before applying a Pod.
•
Do not apply a Pod to any area of the skin with an active
infection. If you are unsure whether to use a specific site, ask
your healthcare provider.
•
At least once a day, use the Pod’s viewing window to check
the site for signs of infection and to confirm that the soft can-
nula is securely in place.
•
Be aware of the signs of infection, including pain, swelling,
redness, discharge, or heat at the site. If you suspect an infec-
tion, immediately remove the Pod and apply a new one in a
different location. Then call your healthcare provider.
•
Change the Pod as instructed by your healthcare provider.
■
Get the Most From Your Pod
Avoid extreme temperatures
The Pod’s operating temperature is between 40° F and 104° F
(between 4.4° C and 40° C). Under normal circumstances, your
body temperature will keep the Pod well within this range.
