it is pulled out. The soft cannula must always be completely inserted in order
to receive the full amount of insulin. Replace the infusion set 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 unpredictable insulin delivery.
• If you have to disconnect your infusion set, pay particular attention to hygiene.
• Never use a soft cannula for more than 72 hours (3 days). Never use the
transfer set for more than 6 days. When changing the cartridge, make sure
that the transfer set is completely primed before connecting it to the head set.
• lf the infusion site becomes inflamed, replace the infusion set and use a
new site.
• Do not put disinfectants, perfumes, deodorants or insect repellent on your
infusion set as these may affect the integrity of the infusion set.
• Never prime the transfer set or attempt to free a clogged line while the transfer
set is connected to the head set. You may accidentally infuse an uncontrolled
quantity of insulin.
