Picture 1
Choose a site away from the waistline, bones,
scar tissue, belly button and recent infusion si-
tes. Wash your hands and clean the infusion site
according to the instructions from your health-
care professional. Allow the infusion site to dry
before the soft cannula is inserted.

While holding the infusion set at the blue holder
cap (M) with thumb and forefinger, remove the
transparent protective cover (B) by turning and
pulling. Keep the protective cover for later use in
order to safely dispose of the introducer needle
(C).

from the self-adhesive (F).

Pinch the subcutaneous tissue. Insert the introducer
needle (C) and soft cannula (D) quickly and straight
into the infusion site, at a 90° angle. Watch the
soft cannula while inserting to assure that it goes
in smoothly without kinking or crimping.
