Accu-Chek insulin pump manual Healthcare team’s recommendations

Note:

If you use a soft cannula-type infusion set, you must proceed with a bolus to fill the air space in the cannula after removing the introducer needle according to the instructions for the infusion set you are using. Failure to do so could result in missed insulin dosing. See the section “Programming a Standard Bolus” (page 77) for more information.

▲	Inspect your infusion site at least once or twice each day for
!	irritation or infection. Signs of infection may include, but
CAUTION	are not limited to, pain, lumps, redness, heat, or discharge.
	If you see redness or swelling, change your infusion headset
	and infusion site immediately and contact your doctor or
	healthcare team.
	Change your infusion headset according to the instructions
	for the infusion set you are using and your doctor or
	healthcare team’s recommendations.

If you have read and followed all instructions, cautions, warnings, and notes found in this chapter, your pump should now be ready to use. However, please read the complete manual before starting.
