Insert The Infusion Set

Insert the infusion set into the skin through the bio-occlusive adhesive. If using an infusion set with a needle, position the metal needle so it is parallel to your belt line but not underneath it. If using a teflon set, fill the dead space in them after insertion.

A bolus of 0.8 unit to 1.0 unit is needed for the Comfort™, Silhouette™ or Tender™, and 0.5 unit for Sof-Sets™ to fill this dead space after a Teflon infusion set is inserted. Have a qualified instructor demonstrate how to properly insert these sets.
