INDICATIONS FOR USE

The t:90

 Infusion Set is indicated for the subcu taneous 

infusion of insulin administered by an external pump.

DESCRIPTION

This product is an infusion device which combines an 

infusion set (catheter) with an aid for infusion (inserter). As the 

infusion set is an integrated part of the inserter, this product is 

delivered assembled and ready for use as a single, sterile unit.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

This product is neither intended nor indicated for use in 

intravenous infusion of blood or blood products.

WARNINGS

• 

This product is only sterile and non-pyrogenic if the 

insertion device is unopened and undamaged. Do not 

use if the insertion device is already open or has been 

damaged. Ensure sterility by checking if the sterile 

paper and tamper-proof seal are undamaged.

•  Carefully examine the instructions for use before inserting 

product. Failure to follow instructions may result in pain 

or injury.

•  When using product for the first time, do so in the pres-

ence of a healthcare provider. Since different individuals 

have varying amounts of subcutaneous layer, ensure that 

an appropriate can  nula length is chosen to fit your needs.

•  Do not in any way put disinfectants, perfumes, deodor-

ants, cosmetics or other products containing alcohol or 

desinfectants in contact with the connector or the tubing. 

These may affect the integrity of the infusion set.

•  Product is a single use device and should be disposed of 

immediately after use. Do not clean or re-sterilize.

•  Product can be disposed of safely after insertion if the lid 

has been placed back on. Please consult your local phar-

macy for sharp containers.

•  Be sure that the needle guard is removed before insertion 

is made.

•  Release the tubing with caution as a hard pull of the tub-

ing can result in damage to the infusion set/introducer 

needle. Ensure that the infusion set is properly in place 

when the tubing is fully released – see picture 8.

•  Do not leave air in the infusion set. Make sure to fill tubing 

and cannula completely.

•  Inaccurate medication delivery, infection and/or site irrita-

tion may result from improper insertion or maintenance of 

your infusion site.

•  Replace the infusion set every 48-72 hours, or per your 

healthcare provider’s instructions.

•  If the soft cannula bends during insertion, discard and 

apply a new product immediately.

•  Replace the infusion set if the ad hesive tape becomes 

loose or is displaced from its original site. Since the can-

nula is soft, it will not cause any pain if it slips out, and 

this may take place without notice. The soft cannula must 

always be completely inserted to receive the full amount 

of medication.

•  If your infusion site becomes inflamed, replace infusion set 

and use new site until the first site has healed.

•  Do not re-insert the introducer needle into the infusion set. 

This could cause a tearing of the soft cannula and unpre-

dictable medication flow.

•  Never try to fill or free clogged tubing while the infusion 

set is inserted. This may result in unpredictable medica-

tion flow.

•  Always clean the insertion site when temporarily discon-

necting the infusion set. Consult your healthcare provider 

on how to com pen sate for missed medication when dis-

connected. Carefully monitor blood glucose levels when 

disconnected  and  after  re    connecting.

•  Protect the product from direct sunlight and atmospheric 

 humidity. Store in a dry place at room temperature.

•  Never point a loaded insertion device towards any body 

part, where insertion is not desired.

•  Reuse of the infusion set may cause infection, site irritation, 

or damage to the cannula/needle. A damaged cannula/

needle may lead to inaccurate medication delivery.

RECOMMENDATIONS

•  Check your blood glucose level 1-2 hours after inserting 

product. Measure your blood glucose on a regular basis. 

Discuss this with your healthcare provider.

•  When using insulin, do not change your infusion set just 

prior to bedtime, unless blood glucose can be checked 

1-2 hours after insertion.

•  When you are infusing insulin and your blood glucose level 

becomes unexplainably high or an occlusion alarm occurs, 

check for clogs and leaks. If in doubt, change your infu-

sion set since the soft cannula could be dislodged, 

crimped or partially clogged. Discuss a plan for rapid 

replacement of insulin with your healthcare provider should 

any of these problems arise. Test your blood glucose level 

to make sure the problem is corrected.
