Fixed prime
A fixed prime fills the soft cannula with insulin and is required after the infusion set is inserted into
your body and the introducer needle is pulled out. Additionally, a fixed prime is required prior to
reconnecting the tubing to the infusion set to ensure that all air is removed from the tubing.
NOTE - Prime amounts depend on the type of infusion set you are using. Refer to your infusion set
instructions for your fixed prime amount.
