Starting on insulin 39
Manual prime
Manual prime fills the infusion set tubing with insulin before you attach it to the infusion site. Manual prime is
only available after you rewind your pump.
1. After you rewind your pump, the
MANUAL PRIME screen will appear.
WARNING: Make sure the infusion set is disconnected from your body before you press
ACT to prime the
pump. Never insert the reservoir into the pump while the tubing is connected to your body.
Doing so could result in an accidental infusion of insulin.
2. Press and hold
ACT to start
the prime. The pump will beep
6 times indicating the prime
has started.
3. While you hold
ACT, the pump will
beep again 6 times as the screen
begins counting the prime units
being used.
4. Continue to hold
ACT until
insulin droplets form on the
tip of the infusion set needle,
then release. Be sure no bubbles
are in the tubing.
WARNING: It is very important that the PRIMING - HOLD ACT screen appears
and shows the count of insulin units while the tubing fills. If the PRIMING -
HOLD ACT screen does not appear, do NOT continue. Do NOT insert the
infusion set into your body. Call the 24-hour Product Help Line for assistance.
WARNING: Your pump will not accurately deliver insulin if there are air bubbles in the infusion set. Take care
to remove any air bubbles during the manual prime.
