Attaching the infusion assembly
5

03
Wash your hands
thoroughly.
04
Choose a suitable site
on the body. Wipe the
site with an alcohol
wipe. Then let the skin
dry. The skin must be
completely dry to
ensure optimal
adhesion of the pump
holder.
05
Remove the pump
holder from the blister
package.
Phase 1: Place the infusion assembly onto the body
6

06
Firstly, align the hook
at the bottom of the
insertion device and
the hook on the pump
holder, in such a
manner, that they
engage with each
other.
07
Then, using slight
pressure, push the
micropump holder all
the way onto the
insertion device until it
engages with the hook
on the front of the
insertion device.
08
Prime the insertion
device by rotating the
priming handle
clockwise in the
direction of the arrow
by approx. 180°.

09
Insert the cannula
assembly into the
cannula assembly slot
in a slanted direction
with the lower opening
facing forwards.
10
Push the cannula
assembly into the slot
until you hear it click
into place.
Look through the
positioning aid to check
whether the cannula
assembly is in the
correct position.
11
Remove both parts of
the protective film
from the adhesive pad.
Do not touch the
adhesive surface of the
adhesive pad.
8

12
Ensure that the surface
of your skin is taut and
flat. Press the insertion
device firmly against
the selected site of the
body so that the
adhesive pad applies
evenly onto the skin.
13
Press the release
button. The cannula is
then inserted into the
body.
14
Smooth the adhesive
pad around the
infusion assembly. In
doing so, press the
adhesive pad firmly
onto the skin.

15
Press the detach
button and detach the
insertion device from
the infusion assembly.
16
Press the infusion
assembly and the
edges of the adhesive
pad against the skin so
that the adhesive pad
applies smoothly onto
the skin. The infusion
assembly is now safely
attached onto the
body.
Note
After this step, check
whether the
greycannula head is
visible in the opening
of the cannula
support and is flush
with the cannula
support. Should the
grey cannula head not
be visible, please go to
