WARNINGS
Read the instructions carefully before use. It is recommended that you consult your insulin
pump manual for information regarding pump therapy.
For first time use, setup must be performed in the presence of a health care professional.
This device remains sterile until the package is opened or damaged. Do not use if the
sterile package has been opened or damaged.
Protect the product from excessive humidity, sunlight and heat. Store at room tem-
perature.
Before inserting the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link, prepare the infusion site in accordance
with the instructions of your healthcare professional.
Discard the set after each use. Do not clean or re-sterilize.
The Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link is for subcutaneous use only.
Always tighten the luer-lock firmly into the pump adapter. If this is not done, danger of
leakage can result, due to a loose connection between the infusion set and the pump.
Avoid using any tools to screw the luer-lock connector into place. Otherwise damage
could result to the luer-lock connector.
Do not leave air bubbles in the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link. Prime thoroughly
Never insert the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link before priming, or attempt to release block-
ages while it is in use, otherwise there is a danger of an uncontrolled quantity of insulin
being infused into the body.
Never use a steel cannula for more than 48 hours (2 days). Never use the transfer set
for more than 6 days. When changing the cartridge, make sure that the transfer-set is
completely primed before connecting to the cannula.

If the self-adhesive does not stick firmly to the skin, e.g. after a shower or in the case
of heavy sweating, affix the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link with a transparent adhesive plas-
ter. If the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link has slipped out of the skin, use a new infusion set.
lf the infusion site becomes inflamed, replace your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link and use a
new site.
Do not put disinfectants, perfumes, deodorants or insect repellent on your Accu-Chek
Rapid-D Link as these may affect the stability of the set.
Dispose of the infusion set safely, so that nobody can prick or injure themselves on it.
If you have to disconnect your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link, pay particular attention to
hygiene and use the protective cap.
Avoid excessive stress on the infusion site and on the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link. Pay at-
tention when carrying heavy weights.
Check blood glucose level 1–3 hours after inserting your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link and
inspect the infusion site on a regular basis. Do not insert a new infusion set just prior
to bedtime. Check blood glucose frequently (check with your physician).
lf blood glucose level gets unexplainably too high, or an «occlusion» alarm occurs,
check for clogs and leaks. lf in doubt, change your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link.

Insert Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link
Picture 1
Choose a site away from the waistline, bones, scar tissue, belly button and recently
used infusion sites. Clean hands and infusion site according to instructions from your
healthcare professional. Allow the injection site to dry before inserting the Accu-Chek
Rapid-D Link.
Picture 2
Remove the cannula and the transfer set from the sterile packaging. Hold the two halves
of the coupling so that they form a cross. Fit the parts directly into one another and con-
nect them in place by turning for one quarter of a turn in a clockwise direction until they
click noticeably and audibly into place.
WARNING
If the two halves of the coupling do not click noticeably and audibly together, use a new
cannula and a new transfer set.
Picture 3
Screw the luer-lock (K) firmly into the screw thread of the pump adapter. Make sure
there is a cartridge containing sufficient insulin in the cartridge compartment. Place the
pump upright and fill the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link in accordance with the pump manu-
facturer’s operating instructions. Prime the tubing (F, J) until the medication emerges at
the tip of the steel cannula (A). Do not leave air bubbles in either the cartridge or in the
tubing of the Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link.
