Indications for Use –
his infusion set is designed for subcutaneous infusion of medication (including
insulin) only. It consists of an applicator that contains an adhesive site with cannula and needle, and a
separate extension tubing set with buckle for connection to the site. After insertion of the needle and
cannula, the applicator automatically retracts the needle, providing needle protection. The infusion set
can be used with standard luer lock connectors.
Contraindications –
DO NOT use for intravenous (IV) infusions, or to infuse blood or blood products.
Access Site Selection –
Choose an area where you have a sufficient layer of subcutaneous tissue.
Avoid areas that may be rubbed by clothing (waistband, etc.), and stay at least 2 inches (5 cm)
away from your belly button. Your healthcare provider can help you with site selection and give you
information about properly caring for your site.
Do Not Reuse:
Medical devices require specific material characteristics to perform as intended.
These characteristics have been verified for single use only. Any attempt to reprocess the device
for subsequent re-use may adversely affect the integrity of the device or lead to deterioration
in performance.
WARNINGS
•
Never fill the tubing with medication or insulin while the infusion set is connected to your body,
or you could deliver an unintended bolus of medication.
•
Ask your healthcare provider to identify proper technique and to help you select and maintain
infusion sites:
»
Different people have different amounts of subcutaneous tissue. Ask your healthcare provider
for help to identify the correct soft cannula length for you.
»
Improper insertion of the soft cannula and failure to maintain your insertion site and tubing can
result in inaccurate medication delivery as well as irritation and/or infection of the infusion site.
»
Check your site regularly to make sure it is still in place. If the tape becomes loose, replace the
infusion set as this may mean that the soft cannula is not completely inserted. If your infusion
site becomes inflamed or infected, replace the infusion set and choose a new site well away
from the previous site.
»
Remove all air in the tubing and cannula before starting; infusion or medication delivery will be
delayed as the tubing and cannula fill. Make sure the buckle is fully closed on the site hub or
medication delivery will be interrupted.
»
Do not leave your tubing hanging loose where it could accidentally catch on objects and
become disconnected.
•
If using this infusion set for insulin delivery:
»
If your blood glucose becomes inexplicably high, or an occlusion alarm occurs, check the
tubing and site—make sure the buckle is fully closed, check for clogs or leaks. If you cannot
find the problem, replace your infusion set.
»
Develop a plan with your healthcare provider for quickly replacing missed insulin if you
have a problem with the infusion set. You should also have a plan in place for temporarily
disconnecting your infusion set.
»
Test your blood glucose level regularly to quickly identify problems, and to make sure whatever
treatment plan you are using has been effective. This is particularly important before you
temporarily disconnect the tubing and when you reconnect.
»
Do not change your infusion set just before bedtime. You must be able to test your blood
glucose 1 to 3 hours after insertion to make sure the infusion set is properly inserted and
insulin delivery is working.
