Wearable Insulin Patch
About CeQur Simplicity
The CeQur Simplicity wearable insulin patch is designed for single use only, and cannot be reused due to an increased risk of infection, malfunctions, and/or incorrect insulin delivery. It’s not possible to refill an empty insulin reservoir in the patch.
Insulin is provided separately. You will fill the patch with up to 200 units of rapid-acting insulin using a fill syringe that is provided in your Patient Starter Kit. Sign up to learn more about CeQur Simplicity today.
The CeQur Simplicity wearable insulin patch holds a maximum of 200 units of rapid-acting insulin and requires a minimum fill of 100 units. Twenty units of insulin are required to prep and prime each patch, leaving 180 units of usable insulin. If more than 180 units of insulin are required, you can replace your CeQur Simplicity wearable insulin patch in less than three days.
CeQur Simplicity is for mealtime and bolus correction use with U-100 insulins: Humalog® or NovoLog®.
The patch is for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who require mealtime insulin.
CeQur Simplicity is indicated for people with diabetes who require mealtime insulin. CeQur Simplicity has not been specifically studied in patients with Gestational Diabetes.

Patients can augment adhesion if needed by using medical grade adhesive bandages or tapes such as Hy-Tape® or Micropore™ Surgical Tape over the patch’s adhesion. Contact CeQur Cares Team at 1-888-552-3787 or info@cequr.com if you have any additional questions.
Consult with your healthcare provider prior to using these products or for any additional support.Getting Started
If the buttons are locked in the “squeezed in” position and no click is heard, this is an indication that the patch has run out of insulin or that the cannula is blocked.
The patch should not be pre-filled. It should remain in its unopened package until you’re ready to fill it and wear it.
If this is the first time you will be using the wearable patch, seek training from your healthcare provider before the first use. Do not use CeQur Simplicity until you have been trained on its proper use. Most patients need less than 30 minutes of training and are fully comfortable using the patch after 1-3 applications.
