Did you know steel sets can contain as much as 8 to 12 percent nickel so folks can be allergic to them as well?
Actually they are supposed to be changed every 24-48 hours...
They are new company to the diabetes device market, and didn't want to carry a lot of different sets (inventory) , so they started with the two most common types in two sizes and lengths.....
There are plans for other options later down the road, as well as a Novalog cartridge option...
I had problems with metal sets.. no matter how short, I always had them bleed out on me and thats still an occlusion..
The proprietary connector on the pump end didnt bother me, their connector is easier to hold and twist on.. also is a part of the occlusion/airbubble detection on the pump... Part of it is because the cartridge has to be pierced to access the insulin inside.. which is done in the connector as well... Medtronic uses a proprietary connector as well on all their current pumps.. which there isn't a need for.. this at least does something..
Might want to contact them and see if there's a metal needle option planned... or suggest it to them.
