Infusion Set Parts
Cannula
•
– A slender plastic tube that is under the skin and delivers the insulin in your body. During the insertion
of the infusion set, the center of the cannula contains a fine gauge introducer needle to help the cannula pen-
etrate the skin. The introducer needle is then removed after insertion, leaving the plastic cannula in your skin.
Cannula Housing
•
– The part of the infusion set where the tubing connects to the infusion set on your body.
Connector
•
Needle – The part of the infusion set that contains a needle to connect to the cannula.
Infusion Set
•
– The combination of the reservoir cap, tubing, and cannula that delivers insulin from the pump’s
reservoir into your body. It is used one time only, and is discarded after each use.
Infusion Set Tubing
•
– Part of the infusion set that carries insulin from the pump to the cannula.
Introducer Needle
•
– The needle inside the cannula that helps insert it under your skin. The needle is removed
and only the cannula is left in your body.
Reservoir Cap
•
– The clear plastic cap and handle that is on the outside of your pump when the reservoir is
placed properly in the pump. This connects the Reservoir to the infusion set.
