STEPS
TOOLS
All supplies needed
1) disconnect pump from body then push act and go to reservoir+pump set up and push act then push act again to rewind the pump so you are ready to begin the set up
Clean off insulin bottle with alcohol wipe
Fill the reservoir up with the equal amount of air compared to the amount of insulin that is needed
Now push all the air into the bottle and slowly pull back the syringe until the reservoir is completely full then you gently hit the reservoir until all air bubbles are out
Next open the site and begin to connect the hose to the reservoir
Like so..
Next prime set and make sure there are no air bubbles in tubbing
Next clean skin and insert site! For me my hip is the most comfortable! But after the skin is dry and site has been inserted fill cannula to make sure everything is working!
And now its done! Hope this helped
