8. Twist and pull to remove the needle from the reservoir and use the small white plastic
stopper put aside earlier to seal the top of the reservoir.
9. Insert the reservoir into the Easy Setter. (the reservoir will protrude from the top of
the Easy Setter)
10. Press the button on the Easy Setter. The reservoir will wind down, continue pressing the
button for a further 3 seconds. Then retrieve the adjusted reservoir from the DANA
Easy Setter.
11. Remove the reservoir from Easy Setter. (Be gentle and do not move the plunger or
adjust the linking screw).
12. Insert the reservoir into the pump and screw the reservoir cap down tightly.
13. Input the volume of insulin by refill sub menu and then select the prime option from
within the refill menu and attach the new Infusion set tube to the pump. Start the
prime…
14. Stop or suspend the prime when the tube is full of insulin and there are no air bubbles
visible in the tube. Using the (-) key will pause the prime. (5cm of insulin tube = 1 unit
insulin)
15. If using a Teflon (plastic) cannula select the prime cannula menu, this fills the empty
needle within the cannula after it has been inserted and after the tubing has been
connected.
Priming of new infusion set tube is very important –it displaces air within the tube
with insulin ready for infusion. If this is not properly completed it is likely that the
pump will not deliver insulin as accurately as expected. Ensure that during PRIME
insulin can be seen moving through the tube and that a puddle/droplet of insulin is
displaced from the end of the infusion set tubing.
