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

•

Discard the set after each use. Do not clean or re-sterilize.

•
The Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link is for subcutaneous use only.

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 plas­ter. 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.

•
If you have to disconnect your Accu-Chek Rapid-D Link, pay particular attention to

•
hygiene and use the protective cap.

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 con­nect 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 manu­facturer’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.
