2.6 Connecting the cartridge, adapter
and infusion set
Before you change the cartridge, adapter or infusion set,
check that your pump is in good working order.
See section 7.1.1 Checklist.
Insulin can ow uncontrolled from the cartridge or infusion set if
the cartridge plunger and the piston rod are not properly
connected and the pump is positioned at a higher level than the
infusion site. Prevent leakage of insulin by correctly inserting the
cartridge: move the piston rod to the correct position and twist
the adapter until the cartridge plunger is aligned with the end
plate of the piston rod. (See section 3.5 Changing the cartridge
and infusion set).
