Pod and Insulin Care
To order all Omnipod® System products and supplies, call Customer Care.
Pod and insulin storage
Extreme heat or cold can damage Pods and cause them to malfunction. If Pods are
exposed to extreme temperatures, inspect them carefully before use.
It is especially important to store your insulin in a well-controlled environment.
Inspect insulin before using it; never use insulin that looks cloudy or discolored.
Insulin that is cloudy or discolored may be old, contaminated or inactive. Check
the insulin manufacturer’s instructions for use and expiration date.
Pods and the environment
Avoid extreme temperatures
e Pod’s operating temperature is between 4.4°C and 40°C (between 40°F and
104°F). Under normal circumstances, your body temperature keeps the Pod well
within this range.
