Taking Care of Your Controller and Pod 22
Water and your Pod
e Pod is waterproof up to a depth of 25 feet (7.6 meters) for up to 60 minutes
(IP28). Aer swimming or similar exposure to water, rinse o the Pod with clean
water and gently dry it with a towel.
Warning: Do NOT expose your Pod to water at depths greater than 25 feet
(7.6 meters) or for longer than 60 minutes.
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
does not kink and the Pod does not detach from your skin.
22.2. Controller Storage and Care
When you are not using your controller, store it in a convenient, nearby location
that is cool and dry.

others cannot make changes to your insulin therapy. Do not share your controller
