Avoid deliberate contact with water. Check daily that your
insulin pump is not chipped, cracked, or damaged in any
way and that the battery cover and the adapter are correctly

insulin, or other foreign substances may enter your insulin
pump and lead to malfunction. Prior to contact with water,
disconnect and take off your insulin pump.
