Fixed prime
A fixed prime fills the soft cannula with insulin and is required after the infusion set is inserted into your body. You
will start the fixed prime after the introducer needle is removed. Additionally, a fixed prime is required if you
disconnect your quick release and you need to reprime the infusion set or if you change your infusion set without
changing the reservoir.
NOTE - Prime amounts depend on the type of infusion set you are using. Refer to your infusion set
instructions for your fixed prime amount.

DELIVERY screen will count up the
units as they are delivered. A “beep”
will sound when priming is complete.
