Helpful Information

When priming your pump, you are actually priming the different parts of the 

• 

Aviator Insulin Delivery System

which is the infusion set tubing and the cannula. Priming ensures that there is insulin in the infusion set tubing 

and cannula.

Note:

 It is critical that all priming is complete before beginning basal delivery.

Priming ensures that all the parts of the insulin pump system are ready to deliver insulin when you attach it to your body. 

If any air remains in the tubing when you begin your basal delivery or deliver a bolus, you will 

NOT

 receive insulin, and 

you will receive air. This could result in possible adverse medical events or serious injury.

Steps in this procedure 

MUST

 be completed; otherwise you will 

NOT

 be delivering insulin to your body, resulting in high 

blood glucose.

Make sure you see a small amount of insulin (one or two drops) appearing at the end of the infusion set 

• 

needle to confirm that the infusion set is primed. You may need to increase the amount of the prime to at 

least 4 – 6 units.

Caution:

 You 

MUST

 change your infusion set 

every three days or sooner

 according to your healthcare professional’s 

advice. You may need to change your infusion set more frequently if it becomes dislodged or if skin irritation or signs of 

infection develop, or blood appears in your tubing.

3. 

Scroll to select desired units of insulin to prime tubing.

a. 

Note:

 Check that you are delivering a large enough volume of insulin for priming to 

be completed in both the tubing and cannula. If a tiny amount of insulin has 

NOT

 

come out of the end of the tubing, you may need to increase the amount of the prime 

to at least 

4 – 6

 Units.

You will need to prime approximately 

20

 Units if you use the 

LONGER

 tubing. The 

amount of insulin required to prime will vary depending on the type of infusion set 

you use. The default is 0.0 U to a maximum of 30.0 U.

Press 

b. 

Enter button.

Note:

 You will hear two beeps (from the pump).

Verify that the pump is delivering insulin to prime tubing.

c. 

Note:

 As the prime is delivered, the Units will be counted off. As your pump is 

priming, you should be watching for a small amount (one or two drops) of insulin to 

emerge from the end of the connector needle. When this occurs, priming your tubing 

is complete.

Tip:

 You may find it easier to see the insulin flowing through the tubing if you hold 

the tubing against a dark background, such as a dark table or towel.
