Caution: ALWAYS check for signs of infection oen. If an infusion site
shows signs of infection:
• Immediately remove the Pod and apply a new Pod at a dierent infusion
site.
• Contact your healthcare provider. Treat the infection according to
instructions from your healthcare provider.
If you see blood in your cannula, check your glucose more frequently to
ensure insulin delivery has not been aected. If you experience unexpected
high glucose, change your Pod.
At least once a day, use the Pod's viewing window to inspect the infusion site.
Check the site for:

Tip: Consider making infusion site checks a part of your daily routine, like
showering or brushing your teeth.
