with the Pod, which will not allow it to
communicate with any other Pod while this Pod
is active . Once the Pod successfully completes its

Always wash your hands thoroughly to prepare the
infusion site before applying a Pod .

To reduce the possibility of infection, and for
optimal adhesion, always clean the site thoroughly

to disinfect the infusion site . Let the site air dry
completely; do not blow on the site to dry it .
