Attach the luer-lock connector (K) to the pump
by screwing it firmly into the pump adapter.
Follow the pump manufacturer's User's Manual
to prime the transfer set. Prime the transfer set
until insulin drips from the connector needle tip.
Do not leave air bubbles in either the cartridge or
the transfer set. Connect the transfer set to the
newly inserted head set and fill the empty space
of the cannula housing with a bolus of 1.0 units
(U100 insulin).
WARNING
You must fill the empty space of the newly
inserted head set after connecting the
transfer set. Failure to do so will result in
missed insulin.
If the coupling does not click noticeably and
audibly together, use a new head set and a
new transfer set.
