Infusion set for a fluid pump

A medical device for delivery of a fluid to a patient from a line terminating in a tubing needle, the medical device comprising:

• a cannula for insertion into the patient;
• a flexible tube in fluid communication with the cannula;
• and
• a septum in fluid communication with the flexible tube, wherein when the flexible tube is in a first position, an insertion needle can be introduced through the septum into the cannula, and when the flexible tube is in a second position, a tubing needle inserted through the septum permits fluid communication between the line and the cannula.

A method for delivering a fluid to a patient from a line terminating in a tubing needle, the method comprising,

• inserting an insertion needle through a septum and a cannula, the septum and the cannula having a relative orientation;
• inserting the cannula into tissue of a patient;
• withdrawing the insertion needle from the cannula and the septum;
• inserting the tubing needle through the septum;
• varying the relative orientation between the septum and the cannula;
• and
• delivering a fluid through the line and the cannula.

A tubing set for coupling a fluid delivery device into fluid communication with a cannula assembly, the fluid delivery device having a first configuration and a second configuration, the tubing set comprising:

• a length of tubing having a first end and a second end;
• a hub coupled to the first end for connecting to the fluid delivery device, the hub including a controller for allowing fluid delivery device to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration;
• and
• an infusion flap coupled to the second end for connecting to the cannula assembly.

A method of providing flow of a fluid from a fluid delivery device to a porous medium, the method comprising:

• coupling a hub to the fluid delivery device, the hub permanently affixed to a tube set;
• controlling a configuration of the fluid delivery device via the hub;
• and
• coupling the tube set to the porous medium so as to allow fluid to flow from the fluid delivery device to the porous medium.
