Thanks for the link Nel! I'll see if I can get some samples as well. Wait, they are from Insulinpumps.ca - so hopefully I get them, as they say they sent them to me last Tuesday - tap, tap, tap, still waiting!!! There is a place in Canada tho' that I think we can get them - I'll look into it abit further and let you know (I may have my info incorrect - so don't quote me here).

Au revoir - sending off pics to you in a sec (memory stick is in my PC right now).

These look really nice, but had no idea when they'd be coming to Canada. It's nice to see they at least have a placeholder website. Thanks for posting the info. Now I guess it's off to send an email to diabetesexpress.ca asking that they carry these asap.

I wonder how secure the connection point is, or if it still makes sense to tape the tubing to provide some strain relief on the site.

Wow... sent Melany an email (included my phone number) and my phone rang just minutes after hitting send. Needless to say, I'm getting a sample sent to my pharmacy. I'm impressed by the quick response.

She was curious how I heard about this since they haven't even launched the product yet... suddenly she's getting calls about it :-)

maybe the reason , she wanted me to try before I was going to post this ???? ( which I had told her I would do )...me the inpatient one !
Did you tell her ? ...I don't want to ruin a possible good relationship with a supplier :-)

Yes, I told her I read about it on this forum... I'm also sure that she's thrilled word is getting out through word of mouth (forum). I'll volunteer to share my experiences with my sample too. She just sent me an email with the answer to my question (posted here)...

Quoting her email:

the connection point is very secure if you have followed the instructions for use which state:
"Attach cap to infusion set. One or two clicks should be heard. Rotate set left and right at least 1/2 turn in each direction, while pulling upward on cap to insure the cap is fully engaged"

The connection/tape is excellent on the Orbit and does not require the use of any additional tape.
We are all pumpers here and have been using the Orbit for some time and love it!

The sample request form webpage is not encrypted. I would advise against using this form to fill out the sensitive information that they are asking. Call them instead.
