[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 602400, member: 17713"] I only put a cap on when in bath and come in filthy from my job. There are a lot of bubbles on the first initial join up when putting the connectors together. If you get these out any disconnections and tejoining will be minimal with bubbles. If you hold the short cannula tubing in one hand and gently tap the connector whilst doing your initial primes for new sets then you will see a huge amount of bubbles that come through. Keep tapping the connector whilst priming until no more bubbles come through. Then when you detach and reattach after that you will not be able to tap the connectors but there will be minimal problems. This is not mentioned in their manuals, although I have previously told accuchek that they should put something in to their training details. The joining of the connectors on any priming need the connectors to be tapped lightly continuously to get rid of airbubbles. This should minimise bubbles when you detach and reattach.
