CHAPTER 4 - GETTING YOUR PUMP READY
6.
Remove cap from the filled cartridge tip. To avoid
insulin spillage and introduction of air in the
cartridge, it should never be filled beyond the 2.0
mL mark. The plunger is properly positioned for
maximum fill when the black o-ring nearest the
plunger tip is centered on the 2.0 mL mark. Attach
infusion set Luer connector to cartridge tip using
clockwise motion until finger tight and then twist
another quarter of a turn.
WARNING: Be sure to twist the Luer connector an extra quarter of a turn to ensure a secure
connection. If the connection is not secure, insulin may leak around the cartridge, resulting in
under delivery of insulin.
7.
Put cartridge/tubing assembly aside.
NOTE:
• Check for leaks, cracks or damage each time you change your cartridge and infusion set. To avoid
leakage, be sure to tighten the Luer connection securely. You can check for moisture periodically by
wrapping a tissue around the Luer connection between the cartridge and infusion set.
• When handling the cartridge, take care not to twist or turn the plunger in the cartridge body.
Maintaining straight alignment of the plunger keeps the o-rings properly seated, which minimizes
the possibility of introducing air into the cartridge and will prevent insulin spillage.
