3.3 Your insulin pump and water
Your pump is waterproof according to the IPX8 standard. That
means you may wear it while showering, bathing and swimming.
However, since the adapter of the infusion set is not watertight,
water may enter the cartridge compartment. If water does enter
the cartridge compartment, you must then remove the cartridge
and dry the cartridge compartment as described in the next
section. You must not dive deeper than 1.3 meters when wearing
your pump.
However, if your pump has been dropped, it may no longer be
waterproof due to hairline cracks. Therefore it is highly
recommended that you no longer wear it while swimming,
bathing, or showering.
When water has entered the cartridge or battery
compartment
Water may enter into the cartridge compartment through the
adapter if the pump has been immersed in water. If water has
entered the cartridge or battery compartment, put your pump into
STOP mode and disconnect the pump from your body. Use a soft
cloth to dry the outside of the pump, turn your pump upside
down to let the water run out, and leave it to dry. Do not use
warm air such as a hair dryer or microwave to dry the pump as
this could damage the pump's housing. Make sure that the
cartridge and battery compartment is completely dry before
reinserting the cartridge or battery. Please make sure that you
use a new battery cover.
