The adapter connects the cartridge to the infusion set, and also
keeps the cartridge compartment watertight with 2 seals, one
inside and one outside the adapter. It holds the cartridge in place
and prevents the entry of air bubbles. The 2 small vents on the
adapter allow air pressure to be equalized inside and outside the
cartridge compartment. The adapter will not work properly if the
vents are blocked or dirty, or if the seals are missing.
Note It is essential to change the adapter at least every 2
months. You must also change the adapter if the seals
become worn, are lost, or if the vents are blocked.
