If the self-adhesive does not stick firmly to the skin, e.g. after a shower or in the case
of heavy sweating, affix the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link with a transparent adhesive plas-
ter. If the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link has slipped out of the skin, use a new infusion set.
lf the infusion site becomes inflamed, replace your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link and use a
new site.
Do not put disinfectants, perfumes, deodorants or insect repellent on your Accu-Chek
Rapid-D Link as these may affect the stability of the set.
Dispose of the infusion set safely, so that nobody can prick or injure themselves on it.
If you have to disconnect your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link, pay particular attention to
hygiene and use the protective cap.
Avoid excessive stress on the infusion site and on the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link. Pay at-
tention when carrying heavy weights.
Check blood glucose level 1–3 hours after inserting your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link and
inspect the infusion site on a regular basis. Do not insert a new infusion set just prior
to bedtime. Check blood glucose frequently (check with your physician).
lf blood glucose level gets unexplainably too high, or an «occlusion» alarm occurs,
check for clogs and leaks. lf in doubt, change your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link.
