6. Set up your insulin pump with the new cartridge, adapter
and infusion set.
Please refer to section 4 “Prepare the cartridge and attach
the adapter and infusion set” for further information.
5.4 Change the adapter and infusion set
Warning: Never change the cartridge or prime the infusion set with an
infusion set inserted into your body. You risk uncontrolled insulin
delivery. With disconnectable infusion sets, make sure you have
disconnected prior to priming. Always follow the instructions for use of
the infusion set you are using.
Caution: Air bubbles in the cartridge, adapter and in the infusion set
cause the infusion of air instead of insulin.Your body does not receive the
required amount of insulin. An “Error E4: Occlusion” may be delayed.
Remove these bubbles while filling the cartridge and/or priming the infu-
sion set. Make sure the infusion set is not connected to your body.
Cold insulin may release air when warmed. Use only insulin at room tem-
perature when filling the cartridge and priming the infusion set.
Inspect the cartridge, adapter and the infusion set for air bubbles at least
every three hours during the day and before you go to sleep. Remove any
air bubbles and, if necessary, change system components.
Caution: Always handle the items with clean hands. Avoid your insulin
pump, the infusion set and especially the connecting parts of your insulin
pump coming into contact with health and beauty items (e.g. antiseptics,
antibiotic creams, soaps, perfumes, deodorants, body lotions or any other
cosmetics). They may cause damage to these parts.
To change the cartridge, adapter and infusion set
1. Have the following materials ready:
• Your insulin pump
• A new cartridge, adapter and infusion set
• New site dressing, if desired
• An antiseptic wipe
2. Make sure your insulin pump is in STOP.
3. Remove your used infusion set from the site.
4. Rotate the adapter into the insert position.
5. Remove the cartridge, adapter and infusion set from your
insulin pump and dispose of them properly.
Warning: Your insulin pump has been designed for use with Accu-Chek

and may void the warranty. 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 sterile

Do not reuse single use materials. Reuse of single use materials might
lead to a malfunction of your insulin pump and to incorrect insulin de-
livery and/or an infection. Always handle the items with clean hands.
