this should occur, use a new infusion set
immediately.
• 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 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 tubing
for more than 6 days. When changing the
cartridge, make sure that the transfer set is
completely filled before connecting it to the
head set.
• lf the infusion site becomes inflamed,
replace your infusion set and use a new site.
• Do
not
put
disinfectants,
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.
• Avoid mechanical stress on the infusion site
