use a new Accu-Chek FlexLink.
• Check the infusion site frequently to make
sure the soft cannula remains firmly in place.
Because the cannula is so soft, you will not
notice any pain if it is pulled out. The soft
cannula must always be completely inserted in
order to receive the full amount of insulin.
Replace the Accu-Chek FlexLink as soon as
the self-adhesive loosens.
• Do not reinsert the introducer needle into the
soft cannula. Reinsertion could cause tearing
of the soft cannula which would result in un-
predictable medication flow.
• If you have to disconnect your Accu-Chek
FlexLink pay particular attention to hygiene.
• Never use a soft cannula for more than 72
hours (3 days). Never use the tubing for more
than 6 days. When changing the cartridge,
make sure that the transfer-set is completely
primed before connecting to the head-set.
• lf the infusion site becomes inflamed, replace
your Accu-Chek FlexLink and use a new site.
• Do not put disinfectants, perfumes, deo-
dorants or insect repellent on your Accu-Chek
FlexLink as these may affect the integrity of
the set.
• Never prime the transfer-set or attempt to free
a clogged line while the transfer-set is con-
nected to the head-set. You may accidentally
infuse an uncontrolled quantity of insulin.
