water and gently dry it with a towel.
Cleaning Your Pod

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: Use caution while cleaning the Pod on your body. Hold the Pod
securely so the cannula does not kink and the Pod does not detach from your
skin.
