Questions We Frequently Hear
A: Yes! Orbit spins! Full 360 degree connector rotation makes site selection easy and the tubing is always going “in the right direction” Orbit rotates freely and does not have “notches or clicks” which require disconnect of the set to change the tubing direction.
A: The smooth low profile shape reduces clothing snags. Go ahead wear silk without worry of snags or pulling your set out.
A: Yes! A View window allows inspection of the site
A: Orbit to the rescue! Orbit’s Easy one hand connection, low dexterity design does not require you to look at the site to connect or disconnect. Connector is NeedleFree to eliminate needle sticks. Needle free connectors are less likely to set off metal detectors at airports. Parents will appreciate Orbit’s needle free easy handling connector for those “squirming” kids when it’s time to connect or disconnect from their pump.

A: That Orbit Smart Tape™ Breathable Tape is body heat activated and really sticks when you bath, work hard, or exercise. The tape is translucent and closely matches your natural skin tone so attention is not drawn to your set at the beach, pool, or gym.
A: Good Point! Orbit consistently has a lower penetration force than other 90 degree infusion sets. This means less pain and more comfort during insertion, and reduces the chance of catheter crimping.
A: You bet! Orbits 26 gauge catheter is the smallest in its class. Catheters are available in 6 mm and 9 mm lengths. A small catheter means less pain during insertion and more comfort during use.
A: Piece of Mind. Orbit is the result of research & development managed by a pump wearer. “We don’t have to imagine wearing a set and try to guess what can go wrong during use. We wear it before you wear it.”
Orbit is manufactured under ICU Medical’s strict quality system. Our manufacturing facilities meet or exceed ISO and FDA quality standards. We have 20 years of experience making custom IV sets and connectors with low defect rates using automated equipment. We know a bad set or design is more than an inconvenience. Kids at school need dependable sets, as changing a defective set in a regulated setting can be a real hassle. Adults need dependable sets to maintain their busy schedules.
“ICU Medical’s quality system is a model for other companies” was a comment we heard from a regulatory inspector recently.
A: First let’s give Orbit a try. We realize one set does not fit all so for a limited time we are offering
free samples of Orbit.
A: Orbit will be sold through your favorite pump supply distributor and for the first time a nationwide retail pharmacy will stock infusion sets.
