Mio versus QuickSet

[Tim]

My new pump has arrived and it’s come with some Mio infusion sets, which look intriguing as I usually use the QuickSets. Does anyone have experience of both? And what might the pros and cons of either be?

I’m now an expert (of a week) 😉 as far as I can tell the difference is the inserter ..

I can see the mio being good when you get used to it but for a newbie it was a but of a FAFF setting it all up.

I got the tubing caught in the inserter cog on Saturday – managed to pull it all out w/o any problem & unjam it so it’s quite robust.

There’s also some discussion of this over on our Facebook page:

I tried Mios a while back when I was having some problems with Quicksets kinking internally after insertion.

I know lots of people love em, but I always found the self-serter a bit ‘cracker toy’ and flimsy. I broke several without being able to get them inserted properly.

I had the same issue as Mike – the inserted was really flimsy. And as I was happy with Quicksets and only tried them because id been given one I didn’t bother persisting. I suspect with practice they are perfectly fine.
