Do NOT apply or use a Reservoir Patch if it is damaged in any way. A damaged Reservoir Patch may not work 
properly. To minimize the possibility of site infection, do NOT apply a Reservoir Patch without first using aseptic 
technique.  
Do NOT use a Reservoir Patch if you are sensitive to or have allergies to acrylic adhesives or have fragile or 
easily damaged skin.   
y  Do NOT apply a new Reservoir Patch until you have deactivated and removed the old Reservoir Patch. A 
Reservoir Patch that has not been deactivated properly may continue to deliver insulin as programmed, putting 
you at risk of over infusion and possible hypoglycemia. 
Your pump is designed to deliver insulin reliably, but because your pump uses only rapid-acting insulin, you will 
not have long-acting insulin in your body. To avoid the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or very high BG, you 
must be prepared to give yourself an injection of insulin if delivery is interrupted for any reason. 
Aseptic Technique: 
Aseptic technique helps keep the Reservoir Patch clean during preparation, filling, and application. Following this 
technique requires hand-washing and wiping the application site with an alcohol swab. It may involve wiping the 
Reservoir Patch with an alcohol swab if the Patch comes into contact with anything else. 
Use aseptic technique when you are preparing, filling, and attaching a new Reservoir Patch. 
Inserting a needle into your skin creates an opening where germs can enter your body. This could cause an infection 
at the infusion site. Always use aseptic technique. The Reservoir Patch and other supplies come to you sterilized. To 
keep them that way, follow these precautions: 
Always wash your hands thoroughly before preparing, filling, and attaching the Reservoir Patch. 
The infusion cannula is sterile and protected within the Reservoir Patch. Do NOT touch the underside of the 
Reservoir Patch after you remove it from the sterile blister packaging. If you place the Reservoir Patch on a 
surface, do NOT let the underside touch that surface. Gently lay the Reservoir Patch on the front side of the 
device. 
If the underside of the Reservoir Patch touches something, you must wipe the underside with an alcohol 
swab. 
Wipe the infusion site of your skin with an alcohol swab. Let the alcohol dry before you attach the Reservoir 
Patch. Do NOT touch this site again before putting the Reservoir Patch on your skin.
