Wet the insulin pump, is it possible?

Hello,

I am a user of the Medtronic 640 bomb and I would like to know if I can shower with it and if I can bathe in the pool or on the beach without taking it away.

Thank you!

The 640g is water resistant.You can shower, swim ... whatever you want.

Nobody nobody shower with the pump ... where do you insert it?

Better remove it, leave it on the sink (it is not worth suspending it or anything in case it is then forgotten) and in 10 minutes of a shower you will stop receiving a very small amount of insulin.

To bathe on the beach/pool or swim for a longer time then.

The 670G has IP certificate and can be submerged up to 3.6 m for 24h (as well as 640).In the case of the shower, I take it off because I have nowhere to leave it and recommend suspending it so that the algorithm knows that it has not put bolus in that little time (if you do not activate the infusion again, the bomb sends a sound to remember it to the fewminutes).And well, on the beach or pool, I take it off, I leave it in a fresh neverite and I am not in the water for a long time, when I go out and dry, I connect again.
