Any infusion set that provides a luer lock connection can be used with the Animas Ping. The only infusion sets that don't provide this connection are the ones made by Medtronic, so stay away from them. I have been using the Accu-Chek Rapid-D infusion sets with my Ping.

Hmmmm. Unless things have changed in the last year, I disagree. Animas specifically sent me Medtronic 'Quick-Sets' before they came up with their own 90 degree 'Insets' which I used excluseively with my IR 1250. Both sets were manufactured by Unomedical. I prefered the Medtonic Q-S as they do not have the auto insertion device and were a lot cheaper. I was just about to have my doctor prescribe the Quick-set by Medtronic to use with my Ping due to the lower cost (I don't have any insurance). As with gw below, I also prefer the Comfort Shorts due to cost and manual insertion.

I use Unomedical Comfort Shorts, available at the Animas e-store. I prefer manual insertion rather than the automatic ones. I think they are considerably cheaper and for me at least, easier to use.

I like the ones from Animas the Insets and also (from my Cozmore days) I like the Cleos, but again and that have the luer locks can be used. Find what you like and you get the best price on and take 'em for a spin.
