•

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.

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.

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.
