Infusion Set and Reservoir
A Unique Connection Medtronic has developed a range of infusion sets and reservoirs designed for your Paradigm Veo insulin pump. They have one key element in common:
Use it right and use it in good health. Change your infusion set every 2 to 3 days.
• The Medtronic Paradigm Connection – a unique interface between your Medtronic Paradigm infusion set and reservoir. The Paradigm connection builds on our experience of traditional Luer lock systems, with additional benefits for you.
Note: Successful pumping relies on proper infusion set management. Changing your infusion set every 2 to 3 days may help ensure the effectiveness of your therapy.

Medtronic Paradigm Infusion Sets
Medtronic Quick-set infusion set
Is the Quick-set right for you?
• Soft cannula set • 90 degree insertion angle • Medtronic Quick-serter™ insertion device for consistent insertion depth • At-site tubing disconnection • Cannula length: 6 or 9 mm
Due to its versatile design and straight 90 degree insertion angle, you may like the Quick-set if you are of average to heavier build.
Medtronic Silhouette infusion set
Is the Silhouette right for you?
• Soft cannula set • 20-45 degrees variable insertion angle • Medtronic Sil-serterTM insertion device for controlled insertion depth • At-site tubing disconnection • Cannula lengths: 13 or 17 mm
Due to its low profile and adjustable insertion depths, the Silhouette is a good choice for babies, during pregnancy or if you are an active lean adult or child.
Medtronic Sure-T® infusion set
Is the Sure-T right for you?
• Steel needle set • 90 degree insertion angle • Tubing disconnection 10 cm from infusion site • Additional adhesive for increased security • Cannula lengths: 6, 8, or 10 mm
Due to its very thin, steel needle and dual adhesives, Sure –T is ideal for children of normal to heavier build. This set may also appeal to you if you are pregnant, simply prefer the steel needle set or are allergic to Teflon® cannulas.

Inserting the Infusion Set
Insert the Infusion Set • Wash hands thoroughly before any handling • Prepare materials: insulin, reservoir, infusion set, and pump Prior to filling the reservoir, it is recommended that the insulin should be at room temperature.

Remember to rotate and cleanse insertion sites. Recommended possible sites: • Abdomen • Upper buttock • Outer thigh • Arm
Additional Tips • It is recommended to stand while inserting • Insert the new infusion set before removing the old one; this will ensure you do not re-insert at the same location. • Choose a site free of lumps, bumps, bruises, scars, and tattoos. • Clean the inside of the insertion device (if you use one) with alcohol each month to ensure proper function. • Avoid inserting the infusion set within 5 cm of the belly button.
16
WARNING • All “sharps” – introducer needle, transfer guard, old tubing, etc., should be disposed of in a sharps container. • Never change infusion set immediately before going to bed. • Check your blood glucose 2 hours after the infusion set change. • It is recommended to change the infusion set prior to a meal.
