4.1.2 Infusion sets

The Accu-Chek infusion sets connect your insulin pump to your body and
are a crucial part of your insulin pump therapy. The insulin is delivered
from the cartridge in your insulin pump through the infusion set into your
subcutaneous tissue. The cannula or needle of the infusion set is usually
placed in the abdomen.
Infusion sets can be:
disconnectable
non-disconnectable
Use only infusion sets with a luer-lock connector. All current Accu-Chek
infusion sets have luer-lock connectors and are the preferred use for your
Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump. All Accu-Chek infusion sets are PVC free.
They are made of materials which are skin-friendly and neutral to insulin.
The diameter of the Accu-Chek infusion set tubing has been reduced in
order to achieve faster and more economical priming and to minimize
waste of insulin.
