Changing your infusion set

Removing the reservoir

Each time you remove and replace a reservoir in your pump, you have to rewind and prime your
pump. Priming requires insulin.
11 Tap the side of the
reservoir to remove
any air bubbles.
12 To purge air bubbles that have
risen to the top of the reservoir,
push up on the plunger until you
see insulin in the tubing.
13 Without pulling, turn the
plunger counter-clockwise to
remove it from the reservoir.
1Remove the entire infusion set from your body.
2If attached, remove the activity guard.
3Turn the tubing connector 1/2-turn counter
clockwise, then pull the reservoir and connector out
from the pump.
4Safely dispose of the used reservoir and infusion set items.
5You must now rewind your pump as described in “Rewinding your pump” on page 47.
