Disposal
Dispose of the infusion sets according to your healthcare pro-
fessional's advice and government regulations for needle/sharps
disposal.
Figure 1 – 2
Choose an infusion site away from the waistline, bones, scar tis-
sue, belly button and recent infusion sites. Wash hands thoroughly
and clean the infusion site according to the instructions provided by
your healthcare professional. Prepare the infusion site by removing
excess hair. We recommend to wipe the site in a circular outward
motion, using a 70 % isopropyl alcohol pad, and let it air dry. Make
sure the infusion site is completely dry before proceeding. The use
of 70 % isopropyl alcohol pads supports the optimal adhesion of
the tape. The use of other alcohol pads may result in premature
tape failure and interruption of medication delivery.
Figure 3
After connection of the tubing to the infusion pump make sure all
air is removed by priming the tubing assembly according to your
pump manufacturer's priming instructions.
Figure 4 – 5
Remove tape backing and be careful not to touch adhesive. Care-
fully remove the cannula protector from the cannula.
Figure 6 – 7
Stabilize the infusion site and insert the Orbit
angle of 90°. For insertion of the cannula, you may also use the
Orbit
Inserter from Ypsomed. For maximum adhesion, press the
®
tape to your skin and run your fingers over the adhesive for some
seconds.
Figure 8 – 10
Hold tape against skin with two fingers of one hand. Gently
squeeze tabs and remove the introducer needle carefully with the
other hand. Dispose the introducer needle into a safe container
unit immediately after injection to avoid accidentally pricking.
You may use the blue needle cover provided to cover the intro-
ducer needle after removal (not for healthcare professionals).
