Medtronic have now launched their Extended Infusion Sets and Reservoirs for use only with Medtronic pumps (640 and 780G).
- This infusion set can be worn for 7 days
- The infusion set requires a 0.6 units cannula fill
- If using the extended wear infusion set, you will also need to use the Medtronic extended wear reservoirs, which hold 3mls/300 units of insulin
- The infusion sets are recommended for people using 42 units of insulin per day or less.
-
In order for the NHS to fund the Extended Wear Infusion Sets, the cannula and reservoir need to last the full 7 days
