•
Make sure that the soft cannula does not extend beyond
the introducer needle. If it does, do not use the device.
This may result in improper insertion, causing a bent
cannula and incorrect medication delivery.
•
Do not reinsert the introducer needle into the i-Port
Advance injection port. Reinsertion could cause
puncturing or tearing of the soft cannula which would
result in unpredictable medication delivery or injury.
•
Replace the i-Port Advance injection port if the tape
becomes loose or is displaced from its original site.
Since the cannula is soft, it may not cause pain if it slips
out, and this may occur without you noticing it. The soft
cannula must always be completely inserted to receive
the full amount of medication from the injection.
•
Refer to your healthcare professional for instructions
about site rotation. Improper site rotation can result in
incorrect medication delivery, infection or site irritation.
•
Wash your hands, and swab skin with alcohol or similar
disinfectant where you intend to apply the i-Port Advance
injection port. Let skin surface dry completely prior to
applying the device to the disinfected area.
•
Ensure the septum is clean before every use (use purified
water).
•
Do not put perfumes or deodorants on the i-Port
Advance injection port as these may affect the integrity
of the device.
Do not inject into the i-Port Advance injection port
•
through clothing.
•
Never point the loaded inserter toward any body part
where insertion is not desired.
•
Store the i-Port Advance injection port at room
temperature. Do not store or leave the device in direct
sunlight.
•
Avoid applying the i-Port Advance injection port to
sites that contain scar tissue, lipodystrophy, or stretch
marks. Avoid sites that are constrained by clothing or
accessories, or that are subjected to rigorous movement
during exercise. Avoid sites that are under a belt or on
the waistline.
•
Do not inject more than 75 times through a single device.
