Place the protective cap onto the filling needle.
Remove the plunger rod by turning it clockwise out of
the plunger.

the cartridge by turning counter-clockwise.
Push the cartridge protective cap tightly onto the
cartridge tip until it clicks.
The cartridge is now ready for use.
Note
Do not pull or push the plunger rod during removal.
Caution
Air bubbles in the cartridge and infusion set may cause
the infusion of air instead of insulin. Your body does
not receive the required amount of insulin. An error
E4: OCCLUSION may be delayed. Remove these bubbles
while filling the cartridge and priming the infusion set
and without having the infusion set connected to your
body.
Cold insulin may release air when warmed. Use only
insulin at room temperature when filling the cartridge
and priming the infusion set. Inspect the cartridge and
the infusion set for air bubbles at least every three hours
during the day and before you go to sleep. Remove
any air bubbles and, if necessary, change system
components.
