influence insulin absorption or cause damage
to the product. Other site issues may also
occur.
● Use an insertion site as recommended by your
healthcare professional. The choice of site
depends on treatment and patient–specific
factors. Check that the insertion site is free
of skin irritation such as redness, scar tissue,
bleeding, and so forth. Do not insert into
muscle or over bone. Doing so can cause pain
or damage to the product. Replace the infusion
set and use a new insertion site if this happens.
● If needed, remove body hair around the
insertion site to ensure that the adhesive sticks
to the skin.
● To avoid stopping insulin delivery that could
result in high blood glucose, do not use an
insertion site where clothing can push or pull
on the infusion set. An insertion site such as
under the waistband of your pants may cause
various set problems including (but not limited
to) disconnecting the tubing, pulling out the
cannula, or kinking the tubing, any of which
could interrupt insulin delivery.
● Do not reposition the infusion set on your body.
Repositioning the infusion set may damage
the adhesive. Replace the infusion set if the
adhesive is damaged.
● Dispose of the insertion device in a proper
sharps container according to local laws.
The insertion device has a needle. Improper
disposal may cause an accidental needle stick.
● Avoid touching a used soft cannula. A used
infusion set is infectious waste. Dispose of
a used infusion set in a proper container
according to local laws.
● Check your blood glucose while disconnected
from the pump. Consult your healthcare
professional on how to correct for missed
insulin and for how much time the pump can
remain disconnected.
● Always check your blood glucose one to three
hours after inserting a new infusion set. This
is to confirm accurate insulin delivery. High or
low blood glucose can result if insulin delivery
is not accurate.
● Check your blood glucose several times
throughout the day or as recommended by your
healthcare professional.
● Carefully monitor your blood glucose level
when disconnected and after reconnecting your
infusion set.
● Store and handle insulin according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Storage
Store infusion sets in a cool, dry location at room
temperature. Do not store infusion sets in direct
sunlight. Do not store infusion sets where it is
humid.
Additional information for the
healthcare professional
● Consider treatment and patient–specific factors
when choosing an insertion site.
● The length of the soft cannula should be based
on treatment and patient factors such as
physiology and activity level. If the soft cannula
is too long, insertion pain or insertion into the
bone or muscle may occur. If the soft cannula
is too short, leakage or irritation at the insertion
site may occur. In both cases, the infusion must
be stopped and a new soft cannula length has
to be inserted at a new insertion site.
● Inform the patient about the correct choice of
insertion site in relation to the choice of soft
cannula length.
