healthcare professional. Allow the injection site to dry before inserting the Accu-Chek
Rapid-D Link.

Remove the cannula and the transfer set from the sterile packaging. Hold the two halves
of the coupling so that they form a cross. Fit the parts directly into one another and con-
nect them in place by turning for one quarter of a turn in a clockwise direction until they
click noticeably and audibly into place.
WARNING
If the two halves of the coupling do not click noticeably and audibly together, use a new
cannula and a new transfer set.

Screw the luer-lock (K) firmly into the screw thread of the pump adapter. Make sure
there is a cartridge containing sufficient insulin in the cartridge compartment. Place the
pump upright and fill the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link in accordance with the pump manu-
facturer’s operating instructions. Prime the tubing (F, J) until the medication emerges at
the tip of the steel cannula (A). Do not leave air bubbles in either the cartridge or in the
tubing of the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link.
