RE: [IP] Pumping with Apidra question
When I used cleos I had a lot of trouble with Apidra clogging the tubing. I
have been switched to u500 since then.
My cousin had a lot of trouble with Apidra's tubing.
If you can get a MM quickserter try 50/Fifty's infusion sets. I never had
trouble with Apidra and them.

The blocked tubing occurs in the tubing. When he tries to prime the
blockage
nothing comes out. Sometimes he can jiggle the tubing and it will work for a
short time, but then blocks again. So he just changes it now. This week we
have
had 4 blockages. Since he has a collection of Cleo tubing, I have tried ones
from different lots...it doesn't matter. Figure if the lots are all very
different, and it was fine before the Apidra, that maybe Apidra doesn't like
the
Cleo tubing.
Of course this is getting annoying because of the multiple "HI"s we have
seen
on the glucometer. The Apidra does work better for him, when it gets in him.
