How to use Infusion Set?
- The Paradigm connector has a larger surface, making it easier to grip than luer-lock connectors
- 2 Vents: Unlike luer-lock sets, vents are built into each connector and are replaced with each new infusion set. This allows pressure equalisation in the reservoir and reduces clogging and malfunction that can occur if vents are built directly into the pump itself
- 3 Airtight Seal: No insulin delivery will start until the reservoirs silicone membrane is punctured by the connector needle. An audible click indicates that both parts are connected correctly
- 4 Integrated Reservoir Cap: The cap is securely integrated into the connection, unlike luer-lock systems, where loss or damage to the reservoir cap can lead to pump malfunction
- 5 Secured Locking Mechanism: The connector snaps into place on both the reservoir and the MiniMed Paradigm insulin pump to prevent accidental loosening of the set
