Inserting the Medtronic Extended™ infusion set

[@VincentBrown-c6p]

These training segments are great no matter how many years you have been doing them!

[@daslous89]

I've been using Extended for about 2 months, putting them to the test, these are the ones that you want!! You can put them on your stomach, rotate side's and away you go! At last! The newest infusion set, simplara or something, haven't seen it enough yet, but look like they do take advice! T1D 29yrs, pumper 20yrs.

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

We're thrilled to hear your thoughts!

[@barbararaines4186]

What to do when showering?

[@daslous89]

@Barbara Raines what I do is disconnect, use the infusion set plug, but just realized that Extended doesn't come with one. I've been using one from mio advanced, but I do know that you don't need one for them. They seal up. Then, depending on how long you were in, if needed, use a correction bolus. But there's no worries. All the best!

[@FatCatAnna]

I attempted to order them up here in Canada (I'm trialing the 780G after upgrading it from 770G). Sadly, Health Canada for some reason hasn't approved them for use in the 780G - but for older Medtronic pumps - these can be used. I've only been pumping for 15 years - late in the game as a T1D of almost 60 years.

[@FatCatAnna]

@@daslous89 interesting about there not being any "plug" when we disconnect for shower, swimming, etc. I wonder why ? Not sure if @MedtronicDiabetesUS (can't seem to tag them) - will see my query that's hidden within this thread.

[@LowVisionUKTerrysView]

just started using these and also have the simpler sync Glucose sensor. Huge improvement - loving it. Thanks Medtronic

[@LulusMaster]

Super helpful, thank you!!

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

You are very welcome!

[@drbnar1]

In the old model (non-extended) , it came with blocker that we can put on the cannula when washing in bathroom , the blue cap here has the same function as blocker ?

[@KevinWeberYo]

yep that's what I've been doing! though it's two parts now, one for the pump tubing output, and one for the cannula housing.

[@MattRevs]

It would be really nice if they'd develop a WearOS app for android watches. Seems like a totally doable and logical thing to do, especially since they have an Apple Watch app...

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi, Matt, thank you for your feedback! We'll be sure to share this with the team.

[@trrachel7102]

Hi! I’ve just been confirmed for this set but I’m not sure how to let my pump know that I have a 7 day infusion set rather than a 3 day? Or does it not matter?

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi, Rachel. You are able to update the Set Change reminder in your pump to match the duration of the Extended infusion sets. Please refer to page 231 in the user guide here: www.medtronicdiabetes.com/sites/default/files/library/download-library/user-guides/MiniMed-780G-system-user-guide-with-Guardian-4-sensor.pdf

[@trrachel7102]

@@MedtronicDiabetesUS Thank you! This has really helped. Thank you for replying & providing these videos, they have really helped me gain confidence in using a new infusion set & helping me choose which is best for me.

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

So happy that we could help! 💙

[@mariesmith8076]

Wonderful tips thank you so much!!!

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@af1966]

The built-in adhesive pad on the cannula is not very strong and mine lost its adhesiveness after 4 days. What can I use to help it?

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi there. Check out these tape tips that might help: www.medtronicdiabetes.com/sites/default/files/library/download-library/workbooks/Tape%20Tips%20and%20Site%20Management.pdf

[@BazBabel]

Hej Varför varje gång jag använder extended i början kommer inte insulin, det tar cirka upp till två timmar som börjar funka, tömmer bubblor, fyller 0,600 Snälla finns något tips Tack

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi there. I am sorry to see this. If you live in the US, please give our 24-Hour Technical Support team a call at 1-800-646-4633, option #1. If you reside outside of the US, please check here bit.ly/1ce3pEc for local contacts who would be happy to help.

[@minecraftsvenska1]

Jag brukar registrera ny reservoir men bara koppla ur, koppla tillbaka in den gamla insulin-ampullen när jag byter infusionset. Då har man möjlighet att "Fylla" reservoiren och slippa vänta i timmar på att insulinet ska tryckas genom slangen.

[@ashb3257]

Will there be a pink and clear option for the extended ?

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi, Ash. We don't have any updates to share at this time but we will pass along this interest to our team. Thank you!

[@stormibeckham5738]

Where can you order an overlay tape for the Medtronic extended infusion set?

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi there. You can see tape and prep wipe options on our website here: bit.ly/3NxPkax

[@kilamb984]

@medtronic Just a note towards the end your instructing users to purge air bubbles into their line as if it was a new infusion line then telling them they dont need to do a canula fill step if this was followed it would likely result in air bubbles stuck in the canula

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

We recommend following the steps listed in the instructions that come with your infusion set. You can also refer to the quick reference guide specific to your insulin pump by going to www.medtronicdiabetes.com/Extended.

[@kilamb984]

@@MedtronicDiabetesUS sure but you have this video posted which people will be following as a guide endorsed by the manufacturer and this seems to be a clear oversight with the steps being repeated from the start of the video, its pretty concerning to dismiss this and say its not a issue because we should be following a different guide when users safety is at risk

[@MedtronicDiabetesUS]

Hi again, that portion of the video is referring to a reservoir-only change in which case filling the cannula may result in the delivery of too much insulin. If you have additional questions, you can contact our Technical Support team at 1-800-646-4633, option #1. Thank you.

[@beateanglani4892]

Das ist alles wunderbar. Ich hätte den Bericht gerne in deutsch. 2. Nach einmaliger Lieferung dieses Katheters der wirklich super ist, ist er leider nicht lieferbar und wir bekommen den älteren Advance. Wie kann sowas sein?

[@AbdullahAlamrihello]

unfortunately not available in Saudi Arabia

[@FatCatAnna]

Same here in Canada - okay - they are available - but Health Canada hasn't approved them for use with the 780G - which is a bit odd. They're abit more expensive than the usual Sure-t I use - but hoping that with being able to use them for 7 days - instead of 3-4 days - that in the end - I'll pay less out of pocket. Canada has a horrible #accessforall for technology - so many of us pay out of pocket to live full lives with this wonderful technology.

[@AbdullahAlamrihello]

@@FatCatAnna here in Saudi Arabia 780 was approved in 2020, and guardian 4 was available here in 10-2022, but the Extended infusion set is not available yet.

[@donovanwentzel1999]

Praying access becomes available soon!

[@charlieboudreau9479]

Missing the step to fill the tubing with insulin when changing the reservoir only but overall well done.

[@altonkenne579]

They should go back to the old style easier made simple also go back to paradigm pumps I still have a 523 still works perfect after 9 years I'm running 6.2 A 1 C. With humalog and true metrics glucose meter diabetic for 49 yrs. On paradigm pumps for 19 yrs

[@robrob7011]

Not quite done properly. But good enough

[@nikkidellavecchia]

This is super complex for a simple change out....and what do you do with the cord? Just ball it up and stuff it in a pocket? What do you do with it when you sleep? I've seen these goofy belt things that the tell people to wear and they would always be annoying...seriously, a belt when you sleep or boxers with an equally silly pocket in the crotch....that's a bit silly when we can make a paraplegic have the ability to use a computer with a microchip implant or catch a rocket from SPACE with a robot arm, but this is the best option you have for a diabetic? Complex and not user friendly? Really?

[@af1966]

I disconnect it when I sleep because I always sleep naked

[@alessandrozurlo1629]

Si è vero sono bellissimi ma io no li posso avere perché faccio troppa insulina sono rimasto senza parole le cose devono essere uguali per tutti

[@ostridge2774]

Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKjJlIR6ls9jjqs wrongly saying "both the 6mm and 9mm canula take 0.6units of insulin to fill" But the units given are wrong. The canulas are 60cm and 90cm respectively.
