6. Set up your insulin pump with the new adapter and infusion
set.
Please refer to section 4 “Prepare the cartridge and attach the
adapter and infusion set” for further information.
5.5 Change the infusion set only
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 work with clean hands.Avoid your insulin pump, the in-
fusion set and especially the connecting parts of your insulin pump com-
ing 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.

• Your insulin pump
• A new adapter and infusion set
