Silhouette and Sure-T disposable infusion sets are used with Medtronic insulin infusion pumps using Paradigm P-cap connectors. The infusion set connects the insulin reservoir in the pump to the patients body.
Tubing may detach at the connect/disconnect location on the MiniMed Silhouette and MiniMed Sure-T infusion sets. Detachment causes interrupted insulin delivery and the pump will not alarm to notify your patient. This can lead to hyperglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
