FREQUENCY OF CHANGE
2-3 DAYS CHANGE OF INFUSION SETS AND RESERVOIRS

Correct change frequency helps you to avoid site complications like pain, irritation, bruising, itching, swelling, etc.2
Timely set and reservoir change reduces the risk of device failures like cannula blocking, bending, kinking, pulling out, etc. improving your glycaemic control.2
