Your pump and

Extreme temperatures

Insulin in the cartridge can freeze if exposed to tem-

peratures below 32°F (0°C) and can lose its potency.

If you are outside in very cold temperatures for any

length of time, keep the pump next to your body and

covered by warm clothing.

Insulin can also lose its potency in very warm

temperatures. Avoid leaving your pump in direct

sunlight. Remove your pump before entering a hot

tub, Jacuzzi® or sauna, as the temperatures may be

too high for the pump to operate properly, and the

insulin can start to lose its potency. See Specications

in the Technical Information chapter for appropriate

storage and operation temperatures.

Water

As long as the pump’s labels and outer shell are intact

(no cracks or chips), the pump is watertight, so you

do not have to remove the pump when showering or

bathing, and can participate in unlimited swimming

activities. When diving, the pump is watertight to a

depth of 8 feet (2.4 meters) for 30 minutes or 12 feet

(3.6 meters) for 3 minutes. Dry the pump o with a

clean towel when you are nished. If swimming in

salt water, rinse the pump in tap water and then dry it

o with a clean towel to prevent a salt buildup on the

pump’s outer shell and display.

You may choose to use a watertight dressing on your

infusion site when entering the water.

Caution: e CoZmonitor® module is NOT water-

proof. Do not immerse the CoZmonitor®

module in any liquid. Before bathing, swimming

or any other water activity, you must remove the

module from the pump. Heavy perspiration could

also gain access to internal components. Allow-

ing the CoZmonitor® module to get wet will

cause it to stop working. Repeatedly exposing the

CoZmonitor® module to liquids will result in you

being charged for replacement modules. Contact

CozMore® Customer Service for specics.

Contact sports

When participating in sports, particularly contact

sports, talk to your healthcare provider about wheth-

er you need to remove your pump. You will need to

decide on an insulin plan during sports.
