handling. A healthcare professional should
always be consulted when choosing an infusion
set.
■ Choose insertion sites as recommended by
a healthcare professional. The choice of site
depends on treatment and patient-specific
factors such as body composition and physical
activity level.
■ Check that the insertion site is free of skin
irritation, such as redness, scar tissue, or
bleeding. Do not insert the infusion set into
muscle or over bone. Doing so can cause pain
or may damage the infusion set. If the infusion
set is improperly inserted, replace the infusion
set and insert at a new site.
■ If needed, remove body hair around the
insertion site to ensure that the adhesive sticks
to the skin.
■ Do not use an insertion site located under
a belt or waistband, or where the site is
constrained by clothing or accessories.
Insertion at these locations can cause
disconnection of the infusion set and
interruption of insulin delivery, and lead to
hyperglycemia.
■ Do not reposition the infusion set on the
body after the adhesive is placed on the skin.
Repositioning the infusion set may damage
the adhesive. Replace the infusion set if the
adhesive is damaged.
■ Always check blood glucose one to three
hours after inserting a new infusion set, or after
changing the reservoir while using the same
infusion set. This will confirm that the amount
of insulin being infused is having the intended
effect on blood glucose levels.
■ Check blood glucose several times throughout
the day or as recommended by a healthcare
professional.
■ Consult a healthcare professional for how to
correct for missed insulin and for how much
time the pump can remain disconnected.

Storage and disposal

■ Store infusion sets in a cool, dry location at
room temperature. Do not store infusion sets in
direct sunlight, or in high humidity.
■ Store and handle insulin according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
■ Dispose of the insertion device in a proper
sharps container according to local laws.
■ Dispose of a used infusion set according to
local regulations for biohazordous waste.
Serious incident
■ If, during the use of this device or as a result of
its use a serious incident has occurred, please
report it to the manufacturer and a national
authority.

Additional information for the
healthcare professional
■ Consider treatment and patient–specific factors
when choosing an insertion site.
■ The length of the soft cannula should be based
on treatment and patient factors such as
physiology and activity level. If the soft cannula
is too long, insertion pain or insertion into the
bone or muscle may occur. If the soft cannula
is too short, leakage or irritation at the insertion
site may occur. In both cases, the infusion
must be stopped and a new soft cannula with
a different length must be inserted at a new
insertion site.
■ Inform the patient that the selection of an
insertion site is dependent on cannula length.
