10 Taking Care of Your PDM and Pod
Warning:
Do NOT expose a Pod to direct sunlight for long periods of
time. 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.
If you remove your Pod to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, remember
to check your blood glucose levels frequently. Check with your healthcare
provider for guidelines on removing the Pod for extended periods.
Water and your Pod
The Pod is waterproof up to a depth of 7.6 meters (25 feet) for up to 60 minutes
(IP28). After swimming or similar exposure to water, rinse off the Pod with clean
water and gently dry it with a towel.
Warning:
Do NOT expose your Pod to water at depths greater than 7.6
meters (25 feet) or for longer than 60 minutes. Check the infusion site often
to make sure the Pod and soft cannula are securely applied and in place. If the
cannula is not properly inserted, hyperglycemia may result. Verify there is no
wetness or scent of insulin, which may indicate the cannula has dislodged.
Cleaning your Pod
Pods are waterproof. If you need to clean a Pod, gently wash it with a clean, damp
cloth, or you can use mild soap and water. However, do not use strong detergents
or solvents, as they can damage the Pod’s casing or irritate the infusion site.
Caution:
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.
PDM Care
This section describes proper care of your PDM.
PDM storage
When you are not using your PDM, store it in a convenient, nearby location that is
cool and dry.
Caution:
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.
