Beta Bionics iLet Pump Supplies in Columbus, OH

Replace most disposable items every two to three days. Generally, change the cartridge, connector, and tubing when the cartridge runs out of insulin or at least every three days. Infusion set replacement timing can vary by type.

Compatible options may include soft Teflon cannula infusion sets and steel needle infusion sets. Available styles include different insertion angles, cannula lengths, and wear times, so you can choose an option that fits your needs and your healthcare provider's recommendations.

Consider factors such as comfort, cannula material, cannula length, insertion angle, activity level, and skin sensitivity. Your healthcare provider or diabetes care team can help you determine which compatible infusion set is best for you.

Replace the infusion set according to its recommended wear time. You may need to replace it sooner if the adhesive becomes loose, the cannula is displaced, you notice leakage or irritation, or your glucose levels are unexpectedly high and you suspect insulin is not being delivered properly.

If the infusion set becomes loose or partially dislodged, replace it with a new set rather than continuing to use it. A loose infusion set may interfere with reliable insulin delivery.

Replace the infusion set with a new one at a different appropriate site. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for inserting and connecting the new set, and monitor your glucose closely afterward.

Remove the infusion set and place a new one at a different site. If irritation persists, becomes painful, or shows possible signs of infection, contact your healthcare provider.

Place infusion sets in an area recommended by your healthcare provider and approved for your specific infusion set. Rotate sites regularly and avoid areas with scars, lumps, moles, tattoos, irritation, or damaged skin.

Generally, replace the iLet insulin cartridge when it runs out of insulin or at least every three days, whichever comes first. You typically change the connector and tubing at the same time.
