amount of medication.
For insulin therapy, 2 – 3 hours after insertion, a blood glucose
test has to be performed to ensure adequate delivery of insulin.
Therefore, do not change the Orbit
ately before bedtime.
Develop a conventional insulin injection or medication replace-
ment plan with your healthcare professional if any part of the
infusion system fails or system supplies are depleted.
If these instructions are not followed, there is a risk of incorrect
delivery of medication. Seek immediate medical assistance if
you have any health concern.
Avoid bending or breaking the cannula/introducer needle.
A broken needle can remain stuck in the body or remain com-
pletely under the skin and may require surgical removal.
For Healthcare Professionals: Avoid recapping or destroying
the introducer needle. Recapping or destroying the intro-
ducer needle can lead to accidental sharps injuries which can
transmit serious infections. Healthcare professionals must fol-
low the specific directions of local regulations for healthcare
professionals using infusion sets, including directions for recap-
ping and disposing. Seek immediate medical assistance if you
receive a sharps injury.
