I'm pretty sure you have to get a new one from Animas, those clips and holsters are generally made specifically for that pump and not really a 'retail' market item.

Hi Cassie,

Same thing happened to my Minimed clip the day after I got my pump... I got a bit luckier and my replacement was only $12.... but still very frustrating.

Cheers,

Henry.-

Hello Cassie,
I have broken my belt clip on my minimed 3 times. They replaced it the first time. After that they charged me 16.95 a pop. The last time it broke the little latch inside the clip where it ratchets around and I epoxyed it and have been using it ever since. I also went to Hobby Lobby and bought some material, two belt clips, and some velcro and went to a seamstress I know and showed her what I wanted and she made me two pump pouches while I was waiting. I can take the pump out of the plastic holster, drop it in one of the pouches, clip it to my belt loop and go. Don't know if this helps or not. You can also buy the "Leg Thing" and the "Thigh Thing" and there's all kinds of pouches that are similar to the ones I had made.
Peace,
Bobby
