Attach the luer-lock (K) to the pump by tightening
it into the pump adapter. Follow the pump manu-
facturer's user manual to prime the transfer-set.
Prime the transfer-set until medication drips
from the connector needle tip. Do not leave air
bubbles in either the cartridge or the transfer-set.
Connect the transfer-set to the newly inserted
head-set and fill the empty space of the cannula
housing with a bolus of 1.0 units (U100 insulin).
WARNING
You must fill the empty space of the newly in-
serted head-set after connecting the transfer-
set. Failure to do so results in missed insulin.
If the coupling does not click noticeably and au-
dibly together, use a new head-set and a new
transfer-set.
Do not use any tools to screw the luer-lock con-
nector into place.
