CHAPTER 4 - GETTING YOUR PUMP READY
Selecting the Infusion Site and Inserting the Infusion Set
Your health care team will review appropriate site selections and techniques for insertion based on
your body type. Refer to the Instructions For Use included with your infusion set for proper insertion
guidelines.
WARNING: Do Not attempt to insert the infusion set into your body until you have been
trained by your health care team. Improper insertion of your infusion set can lead to death or
serious injury.
Changing the Cartridge and Infusion Set
Cartridges and infusion sets require replacement and are not to be reused. Infusion sets should be
replaced approximately every 2–3 days or as directed by your health care team. Refer to the insulin
labeling and follow the direction of your health care team for frequency of replacing the cartridge.
CAUTION: Occasionally check the infusion set tubing for any damage, air bubbles, leaks or
kinking, which may restrict or stop insulin delivery and result in under infusion.
