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.
WARNING: Make sure that 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.
