Can I swim or shower while wearing my Minimed pump?
Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you can swim and shower while wearing your Minimed pump. The Minimed pump is designed to be water-resistant and can withstand submersion in up to 3 feet of water for a maximum of 30 minutes. However, it is recommended to disconnect the pump from your body for water activities exceeding 30 minutes to prevent any potential damage. Additionally, the tape and adhesive used to secure the infusion set may lose adhesion when continuously exposed to water, so it is advised to use additional adhesive tape or a waterproof adhesive patch for extra protection during water-related activities. Always consult the user guide or contact Medtronic for specific instructions on how to properly maintain your pump's water resistance capabilities.
