Connect the transfer set to the newly inserted head set with the bulging side
upwards. An audible "click" ensures the connector has locked into place. Fill
the empty space of the cannula housing (H) with a bolus of 0.7 units of U100
insulin (about 7µl). Start insulin delivery with the pump.
WARNING
Change the head set every 2 to 3 days (max. 72 hours), otherwise you risk
insulin resistance or inflammation of the infusion site.
Never use the transfer set for more than 6 days.
You must fill the empty space of the newly inserted head set after connecting
the transfer set. Failure to do so results in missed insulin.
Always check your blood glucose level 1 to 3 hours after inserting your infusion set.
If the coupling does not click noticeably and audibly together, use a new head set
and a new transfer set.
Do not use any tools to screw the luer-lock connector into place.
