2. Filling the Reservoir with Insulin
1. Remove the Reservoir cap at the backend of the
reservoir plunger. A small white reservoir cap
needs to be removed from the plunger–keep this
cap for later use. Pull back on the plunger to the
line marked with the 3 ml.
2. Loosen the linking screw until the shaft cap part
is covered up by the head part (blue part). This is
important to adjust the length accurately.
Caution
If the linking screw is wound too far, the
wrong way or tight so it cannot rotate the DANA
Auto Setter may not operate properly.
3. Insert and fit the plastic component of the
linking screw into the end of the plunger/
reservoir.
Notice
The ‘Blue’ part needs to firmly engage and
lock onto the reservoir plunger.
4. Push the plunger up and down 3-4 times to
lubricate the reservoir.
5. Clean the lid of the insulin vial with an alcohol
swab. Carefully remove the clear protective
needle cover and draw up the desired amount
of insulin.
6. Place the clear needle protective cover back
onto the needle. Gently tap the reservoir with
your finger in order to make the air bubbles rise
to the top of the reservoir. And push the plunger
up gently to remove the air bubbles from the
reservoir.
7. Remove the needle from the reservoir and cover
with the small white reservoir cap. Dispose of
the needle properly.
Caution Using insulin directly from the fridge can cause micro air bubbles in the
reservoir and tubing. Allow the insulin to reach room temperature before starting the
refill process. When filling the reservoir, take care to remove all air bubbles.
Caution
Notice
When refilling from a 10 ml Insulin vial, pull down the plunger until the volume of
the reservoir matches the desired volume of insulin required. Insert the needle into the
insulin vial and inject the air from the reservoir into the vial. Than draw down the desired
volume of insulin.
Suggested fill amount formula:
(The usual daily requirement x 3 days) + Extra 40u.
※ For example, if a patient uses 60 units per day,
60 x 3 = 180u and extra +40u (suggest filling with 220 units).
