non-pyrogenic if the packaging is unopened and
undamaged. Do not use it if the packaging is already
open or is damaged.
■ Go through instructions for use carefully before inserting

irritation may result from improper insertion and
maintenance of infusion site.

in the presence of a healthcare provider.
■ Reuse of the infusion set may cause infection, site
irritation, or damage to the cannula/needle. A damaged
cannula/needle may lead to inaccurate medication
delivery.
PRECAUTIONS
■Never prime the infusion set or attempt to free a clogged
tubing while the infusion set is inserted. You may accidentally
inject too much medication.
■Check the infusion set frequently to ensure that the steel
needle remains rmly in place. If the steel needle is not in
place, change to a new infusion set.
■contact™ detach is a single use item which must be dis-
posed of after usage. For available sharps disposal con-
tainers, please consult your local pharmacy.
■Do not clean or re-sterilize.
■Be sure that the needle guard is removed before insertion.
■The contact™ detach needle must not be bent prior to
insertion.

other products containing alcohol or disinfectants in contact
with the luer lock connector and the tubing, as these may
aect the integrity of the infusion set.
■Replace with a new infusion set if the adhesive tape becomes
loose.
■Change the infusion set every 24-48 hours, or as recom-
mended by your healthcare provider.
■Dispose of used contact™ detach safely, so that no one can
prick or injure themselves with it.
■ If infusion site becomes inamed, replace with a new infusion
set and use new site until the rst site has healed.
■Use aseptic techniques when temporarily disconnecting
contact™ detach, and seal the coupling housing with the
cover provided. Consult with healthcare provider on how to
compensate for missed medication when disconnected.

room temperature.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For use with insulin:
■ If blood glucose level becomes unexplainably high, or
occlusion alarm occurs, check for clogs and leaks. If in
doubt, change infusion set. Discuss plan for rapid re-
placement of insulin with healthcare provider should any
of these problems arise. Test blood glucose level to make
sure problem is corrected.
■ Check the blood glucose level 1-2 hours after introducing
contact™ detach and check the infusion site several times a
day, and measure your blood glucose regularly.
■ Do not change infusion set just prior to bedtime, unless blood
glucose can be checked 1-2 hours after insertion.
■ Carefully monitor blood glucose levels while disconnected
and after reconnecting
