Starting on insulin 41
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.
ATTENTION: If you release the ACT
button and the pump times out to the
HOME screen:
a. Press ACT. The Manual Prime
screen appears.
b. Press ACT again to continue the
prime sequence (screen shows
where you left off), or Press
ESC to rewind.
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.
