• The luer-lock end of the infusion set is protected.
Caution: Use your insulin pump for insulin delivery in
the lock position only.
Caution: If your insulin pump is dropped or is hit with the adapter
against a hard object, the adapter may be damaged. A damaged or worn
out adapter could lead to water ingress into the cartridge compartment
and to incorrect insulin delivery. Change the adapter immediately.
Infusion sets
Infusion sets connect your insulin pump to your body and are therefore a crucial part
of pump therapy.
The insulin is delivered from the cartridge in your insulin pump via the adapter
through the infusion set into your subcutaneous tissue. The cannula or needle is usu-
ally placed in the abdomen or the hip.
All Accu-Chek infusion sets are PVC free.They are made of materials, which are skin-
friendly and neutral to insulin. The diameter of infusion set tubing has been reduced
in order to achieve faster and more economical priming and to reduce insulin waste.
Common lengths of the tubing Filling volume U100
30 cm/12˝ 7 units
60 cm/24˝ 10 units
80 cm/31˝ 13 units
110 cm/43˝ 18 units
Warning: Your insulin pump has been developed for use with Accu-Chek
infusion sets. Other infusion sets may not have been tested for compati-
bility with your Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin pump and may endanger
your health if used. Infusion sets are sterile products intended for
single use only. Sterility is guaranteed for unopened packaging up to
the indicated expiration date. Do not use if package is damaged.
Caution: The adapter should only be used once and must be re-
placed at least with every new cartridge. The adapter is a sterile
product. Sterility is guaranteed for unopened packaging up to the indica-
ted expiration date.
Do not use if package is damaged. Once removed from its packa-
ging, the adapter must be used immediately. Do not reuse single use
materials. Reuse of single use materials might lead to a malfunction of
your insulin pump and to incorrect insulin delivery and/or an infection.
Always handle the items with clean hands.
Use only adapters specifically made for Accu-Chek D-TRONplus insulin
pumps. The use of other or damaged adapters can endanger your health
and will void the guarantee.
