Follow the instructions below:
Remove the protective cap from the cartridge. Do not touch the cartridge tip.
Push the adapter all the way onto the cartridge tip to
the stop (a).
Hold the adapter and twist the infusion set luer-lock
connection by hand, clockwise into the adapter (b).
Carefully prepare a new ACCU-CHEK infusion set for use,
priming and insertion, following its instructions for use.
Do not over-tighten.
Note:
Your pump cannot detect infusion set leakage. You must check all parts of
the infusion set at least every three hours during the day and before you go
to sleep. If you detect any loss of insulin and all parts are correctly tightened,
immediately replace the leaking component. Because insulin delivery
has been interrupted, check your blood glucose level and take appropriate
actions according to your doctor’s or healthcare team’s instructions.

!
To avoid leakage, properly tighten the infusion set to the
adapter. Turn the infusion set luer-lock connector until it
stops. Do not turn it any further and do not use any auxiliary
tools as this may crack the infusion set luer-lock connector
and result in leakage.
