How do I install the tubing on my insulin pump?
▾
To install, first verify that the pump is turned off. Remove the protective cap from the luer lock connector, then push the tubing’s connector onto the pump until it clicks securely. Check for a snug fit, then prime the line according to the pump’s instructions before attaching the infusion set.
Is the tubing compatible with all insulin pump brands?
▾
The tubing uses a standard luer lock interface, which is common across most major insulin pump manufacturers.

While the tubing is optimized for insulin pump systems, its medical-grade polymer and standard luer lock can be employed in other low-pressure applications such as IV extensions or wound-care devices.
