I currently use the comfort short infusion set and animas pump. It’s taken me a long time to find an infusion set that works well for me.
My pump is out of warranty and I signed up for the 670G. The first question I asked the rep was if it was compatible with the comfort short infusion set and she said yes.
A lady just called to confirm what I would need for my pump training and told me that comfort short is not approved for the 670. Now I’m really frustrated. Is there a comparable infusion set out there that I could use? I asked what my options were for just sending the pump back. That’s how frustrated I am. I have a horrible time with infusion sets and the medtronic quick set does not work for me.
I went to the Animas website that showed the Comfort Short features. I use the Medtronic Silhouette infusion set and I agree with @Brian_J. The Silhoutte infusion set should make a close approximation for your Comfort Short. The 13mm cannula Silhouette is the one I use and find it dependable.
I use the 13mm silhouettes also. They look the same at Comfort Short sets. I have heard they are made by the same company with the only difference being the tube connector.
I have used both the Animas and Tandem Comfort Shorts and the 13mm Silhouette. They are the same set with just different tubing. When I switched from Medtronic to Animas, I was able to use my remaining Silhouettes with Animas tubing.
I went the other way - from Silhouette 13 mm to Comfort Short. They are identical sets and are made by the same company Unomedical. The only difference is the connector at the reservoir/cartridge end of the tubing.
