Filling aid
The filling aid can be used to help you fill an empty Accu-Chek 3.15 ml
plastic cartridge from your vial of insulin.
Free flow
Free flow of insulin from the infusion may occur when two conditions are
met. First, the cartridge with a connected infusion set and the piston rod of
your insulin pump are not correctly connected and second, you position
your insulin pump at a higher level than the infusion site.
Hourly basal rate
An hourly basal rate is the amount of insulin delivered by your insulin
pump in 3 minute intervals for a given hour.
Infusion set
Infusion sets connect your insulin pump to your body. The insulin is
delivered from the cartridge through the infusion set tubing and cannula
or needle into your subcutaneous tissue.
Infusion sets can be disconnectable and non-disconnectable.
Infusion site
The place where the infusion set cannula or needle is inserted into your
subcutaneous tissue to deliver insulin.
Insulin

duced in the beta cells of the pancreas (also called islets of Langerhans).

time of insulin analogue is 5 to 15 minutes.
