Only the Extended reservoir is tested and labelled to keep insulin stable and safely used for up to 7 days.4
ExtendedTM infusion set
The only infusion set indicated for up to 7 days of wear. Use exclusively with the Extended reservoir.†
One set change per week compared to every 2 to 3 days1
The first and only infusion set8 and reservoir to be designed for longer wear, without compromising comfort1 or insulin delivery.2
5 changes per month versus 10 changes per month with another pump system or infusion set.
Being able to wear an infusion set for twice the wear time really helps with my freedom. It lets me go out to do the things that I love and not have to worry about carrying all the supplies that I used to."

Are there any recommended sites where I should insert the Extended infusion set?
Are there any recommended sites where I should insert the Extended infusion set?
The Extended infusion set is licensed for use on the abdomen, back of the arm, lower back, buttocks, and thighs. We recommend referring to the product instructions while inserting this set.
Which tubing and cannula lengths are available with the Extended infusion set?
Which tubing and cannula lengths are available with the Extended infusion set?
Currently, we offer a 23" tubing with either a 6mm or 9mm cannula and a 32" tubing with 9mm cannula.
Can I use my Extended reservoir (7-day reservoir) for more than 7 days?
Can I use my Extended reservoir (7-day reservoir) for more than 7 days?
No, the Extended reservoir is only indicated for use with the Extended infusion set. Use for a maximum of 7 days, or according to the insulin labeling, whichever duration is shorter. For more details, visit this important safety information.
Can I use my current infusion set (any product other than Extended infusion set) for more than 3 days?
Can I use my current infusion set (any product other than Extended infusion set) for more than 3 days?
No, other MiniMed infusion sets are only licensed for 2–3 days. The Extended infusion set has new technology and different materials that allow it to be worn for twice the wear time.
What is the difference between my current infusion set (any product other than Extended infusion set) and the Extended infusion set?
What is the difference between my current infusion set (any product other than Extended infusion set) and the Extended infusion set?
The Extended infusion set is designed with new materials to allow for longer wear (up to 7 days). Three updates have been made to the materials in the tubing connector, the tubing itself and the adhesive patch.
It looks the same as the MiniMed Mio Advance. Is it the same thing?
It looks the same as the MiniMed Mio Advance. Is it the same thing?
Although the insertion is the same as MioTM Advance, as well as the look and feel, improvements have been made to the tubing, tubing connector, and adhesive patch so that it can last longer. The two sets can be visibly distinguished from one another because the Extended infusion set has blue packaging and blue cap.
Can I use my 3-day reservoir with my Extended infusion set?
Can I use my 3-day reservoir with my Extended infusion set?
The standard reservoir is labeled for use up to 3 days and must be changed every 3 days. We recommend using the Extended infusion set and Extended reservoir together. The Extended reservoir is labeled for use up to 7 days and thus, only needs to be changed when insulin runs out or when the infusion set is changed.
