Medtronic has a variety of infusion sets to meet individual needs.
An infusion set includes the thin plastic tubing that delivers insulin from the pump to the body. This tubing comes in different lengths to accommodate various needs. At the end of the tubing is either a soft, flexible cannula, or a stainless steel needle. The cannula, which is a small, tapered tube, is inserted under the skin in a spot such as the abdomen, thigh or buttocks. This spot is called the infusion site, and the infusion set remains in place for up to 2-3 days for most set types, and up to 7 days for the Extended infusion set.

Important Safety Information: Infusion Sets
Infusion sets require a prescription and are indicated for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin from an infusion pump. Infusion sets are not indicated for intravenous (IV) infusion or the infusion of blood or blood products. Inaccurate medication delivery,infection and/or site irritation may result from improper insertion and maintenance of the infusion site. Before insertion,clean the insertion site with isopropyl alcohol. Remove the needle guard before inserting the infusion set. If using thisinfusion set for the first time, do the first set-up in the presence of your healthcare professional. Do not leave air in the infusionset. Prime completely. Follow the instructions provided and replace as indicated in those instructions. For more details, see https://bit.ly/infusionsetsafety
