Air bubbles in the cartridge and infusion set may cause
the infusion of air instead of insulin. In this case, your body
does not receive the required amount of insulin and an
error E4: OCCLUSION may be displayed. Remove bubbles
while filling the cartridge and priming the infusion set and
without having the infusion set connected to your body.
Cold insulin may release air when warmed. Use only insulin
at room temperature when filling the cartridge and priming
the infusion set. Inspect the cartridge and the infusion set for
air bubbles at least every three hours during the day and
before you go to sleep. Remove any air bubbles and change
system components if needed.
Note:
Do not pull or push the plunger rod during removal.
