■ Avoid Infusion Site Infections
• Always wash your hands and use aseptic technique to pre-
pare the infusion site before applying a Pod.
• Do not apply a Pod to any area of skin with an active infec-
tion. 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 at least once every 2–3 days, or as instructed
by your healthcare provider.
The Advisory alarm repeats every 15 minutes until you
press OK.
Insulin delivery will not resume until you press OK. If
you do not press OK to resume insulin delivery, you
could develop hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).
