People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
I keep my pump running whilst having bath, but definitely expereince the suck back in the tube left on the pump. Also when priming a new set.. With rapid d's when you're priming hold the cannula set tube and tap the connectors.. If the connectrs arent actually held and you tap them whilst locked together and priming... You will see a large, constant supply of airbubbles come down from the connectors and out the sets..
I also guarantee if I don't tap these bubbles out when a new set is put on I will have difficulties with the set.... Nobody tells you to do this, and you can only do it with rapid d's...as they are primed and connected before putting set in.
I am 'anal' about everything I do though with pump from the time I noticed .. Just weeks after going on to flexillink plus's I knew they were faulty... And eventually 4 months later they were withdrawn. I am probably 'OTT' compared to some, but just passing on what I notice and what I do...
