infusion set.
• Replace the infusion set if the adhesive
tape becomes loose or is displaced from
its original site. Since the cannula is soft,
it will not cause any pain if it becomes
dislodged, and this may take place without
notice. The soft cannula must always be
completely inserted to receive the full
amount of medication.
• Replace the infusion set every two to three
days, or per your healthcare provider’s
instructions.
• If your insertion site becomes irritated or
infected, replace infusion set and use new
site until the first site has healed.
• Wash your hands before disconnecting
and reconnecting the infusion set. Consult
your healthcare provider on how to
compensate for missed medication when
disconnected.
• Never point a loaded insertion device
towards any body part, where insertion is
not desired.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Check your blood glucose level one
to three hours after insertion of the
AutoSoft™ 90. Measure your blood
glucose on a regular basis. Discuss this
with your healthcare provider.
• Do not change your infusion set just prior
to bedtime, unless blood glucose can be
checked one to two hours after insertion.
• If your blood glucose level becomes
unexplainably high or an occlusion alarm
occurs, check for clogs and leaks. If in
doubt, change your infusion set since
the soft cannula could be dislodged or
partially clogged. Discuss plan to bring
down your blood glucose level with
your healthcare provider should any of
these problems arise. Test your blood
glucose level to make sure the problem is
corrected.
• Carefully monitor your blood glucose
level when disconnected and after
reconnecting.
• If, during the use of this device or as
a result of its use a serious incident
has occurred, please report it to the
manufacturer and to your national
authority.
STORAGE & DISPOSAL
• Store infusion sets in a cool, dry location
at room temperature. Do not store infusion
sets in direct sunlight, or in high humidity.
• Store and handle insulin according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Put the lid back on the insertion device
and dispose in a proper sharp container
according to local laws, to avoid risk of
needle stick.
• Dispose of a used infusion set according
