You must complete the following procedures, as described previously, before you
insert the infusion set into your body:
•Rewind your pump.
• Fill your reservoir.
• Insert the reservoir into pump.
• Fill the tubing with insulin.
The best body areas for infusion set insertion are shaded in the following example.
Avoid the 2-inch (5.0 cm) area around the navel to help ensure a comfortable
infusion site and to help with adhesion.
CAUTION: Do not use the same infusion set insertion site for an
extended period of time. This can cause the site to become overused.
Rotate the infusion set insertion sites regularly.
CAUTION: Always change your infusion set according to the product
labeling. Using the same infusion set for an extended period of time
can cause infusion set occlusion or site infection.
To keep sites healthy, use a visual scheme to help you rotate your insertion sites in
an organized way. The following methods are commonly used. For maximum
effectiveness, alternate the use of both methods.
• Visualize an imaginary clock drawn on your abdomen around your belly
button. Rotate infusion set insertion sites by starting at 12 o’clock and then
rotate the infusion site clockwise to 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and so on.
