Insertion type:
There are two ways to insert your infusion set: manually or with an auto insertion device. Both are good options, it simply depends on your personal preference.
Insertion Device:
You can leverage Medtronic's exclusive, auto insertion device called a Serter®. Many pump users prefer this option compared to manual insertion because they're simple and virtually pain-free.
