Description
The Medtronic Paradigm Mio Infusion Set is an innovative solution designed to streamline the process of insulin delivery for individuals using compatible insulin pumps. Crafted by Medtronic, a leader in medical technology, this infusion set integrates seamlessly with devices from Medtronic, Roche, and Animas® brands, including the MiniMed 780G System.
Key Features
-
All-in-One Design: The Mio set features a pre-loaded inserter that eliminates the need for a separate serter, making the insertion process both quick and discreet. The automatic needle insertion keeps the needle hidden before and after use, reducing anxiety for those with needle concerns.
-
Flexible Cannula: With a 90° insertion angle, the soft Teflon cannula is available in lengths of 6mm or 9mm, providing adaptability to different body types and preferences. The 25G gauge ensures minimal discomfort during insertion.
-
Tubing Options: Users can choose between tubing lengths of 23 inches or 43 inches, allowing for personalized setup that fits various lifestyle needs.
Ease of Use
-
Simple Connection: The tubing connector locks securely with an audible 'click,' ensuring a reliable connection to the insulin reservoir. This feature enhances confidence in the setup, knowing that the connection is secure.
-
One-Handed Insertion: The Mio set can be inserted with one hand in just four steps, making it accessible for individuals with dexterity challenges. The adhesive pad firmly secures the set to the skin, while the site connector allows for easy disconnection by simply squeezing the sides.
Reservoir Details
The user-filled insulin reservoir holds up to 1.8ml of insulin and is ergonomically designed for use with MiniMed and other compatible pumps. Proper management of the reservoir and infusion set, including regular changes every 2 to 3 days, is crucial to maintaining effective insulin delivery.
Usage Guidelines
Users are advised to clean the insertion site with isopropyl alcohol, remove the needle guard before insertion, and ensure the infusion set is fully primed to avoid air bubbles. The cannula should be filled with insulin post-insertion, with specific amounts for each length to ensure accurate dosing.
Safety Precautions
Careful attention must be paid to avoid air bubbles and prevent liquid from entering the tubing connector. First-time users should consult with a healthcare professional during the initial setup and adhere to the provided instructions for ongoing use and replacement.
Important Considerations
The Mio Infusion Set is not intended for intravenous infusion or for use with blood products. Proper insertion and maintenance are vital to prevent inaccurate medication delivery, infection, or site irritation, ensuring a safe and effective insulin management experience.
