insulin be delivered using a “Lot 8” Quick-set infusion set?
When an infusion set does not vent properly, a rapid increase in altitude could cause too much insulin to be delivered. Examples of this include when an airplane is taking off, and traveling from sea level to a higher elevation, such as when driving up a mountain. A significant over delivery of insulin may not be detected until after it has occurred. This could cause severe low blood glucose and would require immediate attention and treatment.
