your hands and clean the infusion site according
to the instructions from your healthcare
professional. Allow the infusion site to dry before
the soft cannula is inserted.

order to safely dispose of the introducer needle
(C).

Pinch the subcutaneous tissue. Insert the
introducer needle (C) and soft cannula (D)
quickly and straight into the infusion site, at a

to assure that it goes in smoothly without kinking
or crimping.
