3.4 Changing the infusion set
When you change the infusion set, keep the following information
in mind:
j Infusion sets are sterile products intended for single use only.
Sterility is guaranteed for unopened packaging up to the
indicated expiry date. Do not use sterile products if the
package is damaged.
j Correctly tighten the infusion set onto the adapter to avoid
leakage. Turn the infusion set luer-lock connector until it stops.
Do not turn it any further and do not use auxiliary tools, as this
may crack the infusion set luer-lock connector and result in
leakage.
j Your pump cannot detect infusion set leakage. You should
inspect all parts of your infusion set regularly during the day
and before you go to sleep. If there seems to be any loss of
insulin and all parts are correctly tightened, look for and
immediately replace a leaking component. Check your blood
glucose level immediately, as insulin delivery has been
interrupted. Take appropriate action according to your doctor’s
or healthcare team’s instructions.
j Always disconnect your infusion set before changing a
cartridge or priming the infusion set. Otherwise, you risk
uncontrolled insulin delivery into your body. Always follow the
instructions for the infusion set and cartridge system you are
using.
