Removal instructions:
  1. Dome removal: Dome removal video
  2. Disconnect Infusion Tube
  3. Remove Infusion Tube:
    Warning: Do NOT pull on the Infusion Tube to remove it.
    a. Open the Remover Package while maintaining aseptic technique
    b. Remove the tubing protecting the Remover tip.
    c. Insert Remover into Infusion Tube while holding the Infusion Tube straight out (90°) from the patient.
    d. Advance the Remover, and turn it clockwise until it stops. This will engage the threads in the proximal tip of the Infusion Tube.
    e. Use one hand to press down lightly on Target Patch, and the other to pull the Remover straight out to dislodge the Infusion Tube. Hold the Remover by the T-shaped knob. Do NOT hold the luer or tubing. If the Remover disengages from the Infusion Tube without removing it, re-attempt.

    Note: Make sure that you pull the Remover in the direction perpendicular to the Infusion site to avoid bending of the Remover tip.
  4. Remove Target Patch
  5. Dress the Infusion Site
    A. Apply pressure to the infusion site.
    B. Reassess to check bleeding from site.
    C. Dress the infusion site using aseptic technique.
    D. Dispose of the Remover and Infusion Tube
