Prepare the infusion site

To reduce the risk of infection at the infusion site:

2. Wash your selected infusion site with soap and water.

Note: Antibacterial soap may irritate skin, especially at the infusion site. Ask

your healthcare provider how to treat any skin irritation.

3. Dry the infusion site with a clean towel.

4. Use an alcohol prep swab to disinfect the infusion site. Start at the center of

the site and gently rub outward in a circular motion.

5. Let the infusion site air-dry thoroughly. Do not blow on the site to dry it.
