The Reservoir Patch requires replacement and is not to be reused. The Reservoir Patch should be replaced 

approximately every 2-3 days or as directed by your health care team. Refer to the insulin labeling and follow the 

direction of your health care team for frequency of replacing the Reservoir Patch. If you like, you can set the PDM to 

notify you when it is time to replace the Reservoir Patch. 

y  Inaccurate medication delivery, infection and/or site irritation may result from improper insertion and 

maintenance of the infusion site. 

y 

Ensure sterility by checking that the sterile paper and tamper-proof seal are not damaged. 

y 

If using the Reservoir Patch for the first time, do the first set-up in the presence of your healthcare professional. 

y 

If the infusion site becomes inflamed, replace the Patch, and use a new site until the first site has healed. 

y 

Check frequently to make sure the Reservoir Patch and soft cannula are securely attached and firmly in place. 

The soft cannula must always be completely inserted to receive the full amount of medication. Replace the 

Reservoir Patch if the tape becomes loose, or if the soft cannula becomes fully or partially dislodged from the 

skin. 

y 

If in doubt, change the Reservoir Patch because the soft cannula may be dislodged, crimped and/or partially 

clogged. Should any of these problems arise, make a plan with your healthcare professional for rapidly replacing 

insulin. Test your blood glucose level to make sure the problem is corrected. 

y 

Store Reservoir Patches in a cool, dry place. Do NOT leave infusion sets in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle. 

y 

If infusing insulin, and your blood glucose level becomes unexplainably high, or an occlusion alarm occurs, 

check for clogs and/or leaks. 

y 

Do NOT use if the package has been opened or damaged. The Reservoir Patch is sterile and non-pyrogenic 

unless the package has been opened or damaged.
