Swimming: A little dip? No sweat! But your Kaleido pump can function in water up to 1.5 meters deep for up to one hour. If you’re planning on swimming longer or diving deeper than that, you’ll need to pause and remove your pump first. If you pause your pump, your handset will keep track of how much insulin you’ve missed. Every day: If you’re about to jump into a bath or shower, the water depth shouldn’t be a problem, but it’s important to consider your water temperature. We advise that you pause and remove your pump first, rather than expose it (and your insulin!) to high temperatures. Keep in mind that you need to keep your handset dry at all times. More information on how to use Kaleido in these situations you can find in our User Manual.

We think an app is a great idea! We don’t have one at the moment, but we’re definitely looking into it for the future.

Although you can always find last week’s data in your History, sometimes either you or your Healthcare Professional might want to look back a little further to get even more detail from your Kaleido. With access to Glooko® or a Glooko® Uploader, there are just a few easy steps to follow.

Do not use your pump or handset near a magnetic field. If you do, your pump and handset could be damaged. This includes any storage with magnetic clasps, MRI, X-ray, and CT scanners. You should pause or stop your pump, remove it from your body, and store it safely if you need to enter areas containing any of these devices. If you’re getting an MRI, it’s important to note that you should also take your infusion set off, since it has a small piece of metal in there. So, make sure you bring your inserter and a spare infusion set, so you can get back to pumping as soon as you’re done with the MRI.
