The infusion set must be replaced regularly, usually every 2-3 days.

Or will you have to use the infusion sets made by your pump company?

An infusion set should be stored at room temperature and used within 48 hours.

Often a number of favorite sites for the infusion set are used on a rotation basis.

The purpose of an infusion set is to deliver insulin under the skin.

The infusion set is a thin plastic tube with a fine needle at the end.

Experience may vary according to the individual, the pump manufacturer, and the type of infusion set used.

Once every few days, the infusion set is changed, and only then is a needle used to put the unit in place.

The infusion set can remain in the place for 3 days while the pump is clip-belt worn.

For this reason, the site of the infusion set is moved when the set is changed.

Patients need intensive education in the use of the pump and changing the needle and infusion set.

Users may experience allergic reactions and other skin irritation from the adhesive on the back of an infusion set.

This "infusion set" is patient-connected via a catheter to the abdomen region.

An infusion set is used with an insulin pump as part of intensive insulin therapy.

An injection port is a small disposable device, similar to the infusion set used with an insulin pump, configured to accept a syringe.

The insulin should be changed in the reservoir of the insulin pump at least every 6 days, and the infusion sets should be changed at least every 3 days.

However, this is not always the case: some pump manufactures use a pump specific connector to provide additional features such as venting or a more secure connection between the pump and the infusion set.
