For use with Accu-Chek FlexLink infusion sets – Automatic insertion

Wash your hands before use. Choose a site away from waistline, bones, scar tissue, belly button and recent infusion sites.

Prepare site according to the instructions from your health care professional. Allow the infusion site to dry before the soft cannula is inserted.

Push the tensioning element (grey) of the insertion device into its base (blue). The insertion device is now pre-tensioned. This step locks the safety catch in place, and automatically makes the insertion device secure.

Hold the infusion set by its protective cover and with the blue holder cap pointing upward, insert it from below into the opening of the insertion device until you feel it lock into place.

For correct placement of the infusion set note the elongated perforation mark on the self-adhesive backing – it indicates the location of the tube connection.

Carefully remove the transparent protective cover of the infusion set by turning and pulling at the same time. Remove both pieces of the self-adhesive backing from the self-adhesive.

Hold the base of the insertion device firmly in one hand and with the other hand pull the tensioning element out and up as far as it will go. Holding the tensioning element, position the insertion device onto the prepared infusion site. Slide the safety catch out of the lock position.

Press the release button.

Smooth out the self-adhesive and run your fingers over it. This ensures good skin contact.
Hold the self-adhesive in place, gently press the side clips of the blue holder cap and pull it from the cannula housing.

To remove the introducer needle, hold the cannula housing firmly to your body. Using its handle, withdraw the introducer needle in a straight angle.

Attach the luer-lock firmly into the pump adapter and cartridge. Make sure there is sufficient insulin in the cartridge. Lines should be connected to cartridge and adaptor prior to insertion into the cartridge compartment to prevent insulin leakage. Prime according to the pump manufacturer’s operating instructions until the insulin emerges at the tip of the connector needle. Do not leave air bubbles in either the cartridge or the transfer set. Do not prime if line is connected to your body.

Connect the primed transfer set to the newly inserted head set. A click must be heard when connecting. Fill the empty space of the cannula housing with a bolus of 1.0 unit of insulin U-100. Start distribution with the pump.
