Figure 11 – 13
Attach the tubing cap straight to the cannula base. One to two
clicks should be heard.
Rotate the tubing left and right, at least one full turn in each
direction, while pulling upward on cap to ensure the tubing cap
is fully engaged and the fluid path is opened.
After proper connection of the tubing to the cannula base, the
newly inserted cannula has to be filled with medication by priming
the cannula head with the priming volumes indicated below.
Failure to do so results in missed medication.
Figure A: Disconnection
To disconnect the tubing, gently squeeze tabs on both sides of the
tubing cap and remove it. There is no need to cover the infusion
base as the septum provides closure.
Before you reconnect the tubing cap, remove the air bubbles from
the tubing according to the priming instructions of your infusion
pump and swab septum with a 70 % isopropyl alcohol pad. Proper
swabbing of the septum reduces germs ingress into the fluid path.
To reconnect, follow instructions in figures 11 – 13.
Monitor your blood glucose levels when disconnected and about
2 – 3 hours after reconnecting.
