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 4.4°C and 40°C
(between 40°F and 104°F). Under normal circumstances, your
body temperature will keep the Pod well within this range.
Water and your Pod
The Pod is waterproof up to a depth of 7.6 meters (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.
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 0°C (32°F). Follow the insulin manufac-
turer’s instructions for use.
