I prepared to change my infusion set site for my minimed 670g pump.I used the silhouette infusion sets and the "sil-serter" - the inserter that accompanies those sets.After i loaded a new set into the inserter and went to remove the needle from the new cannula, i could not dislodge the needle from the cannula at the new site.The needle, from i understand, is used to insert the cannula under the skin and once removed allows for the insulin reservoir to be attached or removed based upon activity or preference etc.Because i was unable to remove the needle from the new site and cannula, i had to completely remove the new infusion set and discard it.This led to extreme discomfort and bleeding.I also am not sure why the needle would not dislodge from the new set / cannula area after insertion.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
