3. Prime Volume of Infusion Sets
New unopened Infusion Sets are sterile and the tubing is filled with air/empty. Once
connected to the Insulin Pump it is necessary to prime the tubing (fill it with insulin and
remove the air) before the tube is connected to the Cannula or Patient.
The following shows the estimated volume of insulin required to fill tubing for each of the
Infusion Sets below:
Infusion Set Tube length Minimum required Insulin amount
Soft-Release-O 6 mm needle with base 0.3 Units
9 mm needle with base 0.4 Units
DANA Inset II 6mm needle with base 0.5 Units
9mm needle with base 0.6 Units
* Cannula prime
Notice
Because the air is lighter than insulin, the insulin pump should be kept in an
upright position during the priming process. This can help displace any air in the tubing.
Infusion Set Tube length Minimum required Insulin amount
Soft-Release-O
60cm 14 Units
80cm 19 Units
DANA Inset II
