How to Insert an Autosoft XC / Autosoft 90 Infusion Set 

This video should be on Tandem's website. I've been on TSlim for 3 months and been through 120 sets (ridiculous I know). I've been pumping for over 20 years so I'm not inexperienced but the Autosoft is so fragile and nuanced that it requires tricks to work well. After following your instructions I've had great success. Thank you so much!

Good video better than the Tandem video which pipes in distracting music. This is straight to the point while the Tandem video is straight to the music. I subscribed to your channel.

Wow! So helpful! I’ve been using a pump for five months and never heard some of the tips you gave here! I can see how a couple tiny technique changes would totally improve the effectiveness of my pump! Thank you so much! Instructions were so clear as well as the visuals.

Thank you for the video! I've watched the one on the Tandem site multiple times and still had little success. Watched your video (pinched the set together while removing the needle guard) and made a huge difference.

Thank you! Your instructions are slow and easier for me to understand. I am new to the tandem and auto soft xc. Thank you !😊

She is such a good teacher. Excellent demonstration

Very good tutorial. So many people have kinked cannulas with these sets. I have one comment though, and that is that the white plastic center piece is what you are supposed to use to remove the inserter piece. It’s on the Tandem video and the instructions in the sets themselves.

Thank you so much for this. Today was my first time doing it on my own. I was so anxious, but your slow step by step on this video and filling the cartridge made this a lot less scary. I really appreciate you! ❤

You are the first person to explain this entirely !! I have watched 5 others , you are the best !! Thanks !! I have had a lot of trouble due to having one arm because I fractured my left arm and this helps me a lot.

Wonderful presentation Alejandra. Many little details that will make a difference for me while inserting. Thank you.

Great tips on techniques that added to my confidence in doing this successfully. I have been using a Tslim for about 10 weeks, and never noticed the arrow on the infusion device. That is just one example of a very useful fine point.

Thanks take a bit diabetis. This is my first time doing this alone and your video is a big help. I appreciate you putting this on youtube. Stacey

Relief. Thank you for this clear instructional. We were told to ensure at least 3 drops of insulin are coming through the exposed needle before we do the onto skin insertion part. This adds another minute to the process. Thank you.

This is an excellent video. I used these sets some time back and are returning to them and your video reminded me of some key steps. Thank You.

This video is my go to for this infusion set. Thank you ❤

Thanks, this was my first time since training, putting a new one in myself & your video made it very easy. Take care, everyone. 😊❤

EXCELLENT instruction and demonstration. Thank you.

I just changed my site for the first time, watched all 3 of your videos and was super helpful!! Thanks!!

Thank you for this clear advice! I am still getting used to it all and have been inserting them all wonky

This is terrific, thank you for being so clear and informative. Love the visuals and explanation.

I completely concur with the other commenters. Your instructional style is superb. Thank you very much. I usually use the tru-steel to avoid the bent cannula concern. However, my new vendor did not send me enough of the infusion sets and i am not resorting to using some leftover xc sets. Many tx.

Thanks for helping so many of us. Great helpful video.

Very good and easy to follow explanation. Thank you!

Very well demonstrated. Super thankful!

Your are an ABSOOOOOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! SAUCE!!!! Demonstrator!!!!!💞💞💞💞💞💞🤪🤪

Excellent presentation, she makes it easy to understand. Thank You

Thank you. This was so informative. Your step by step instructions were excellent and helped immensely .

helpful it helped me to put on my xc infusion set on 😄♡

Very helpful with all the details. I came from Medtronic where the site change was SO easy to the AutoSoft XC where I always think I’m going to dislodge the cannula when removing the needle as I lift off the applicator. My medical supplier had only 23” tubing to send, so I’m also on a very short leash now having used 43” for years. But I would not go back now that I have the t:slim and Dexcom.

Excellent video and thank you! New to the T:Slim X2 and like most, have had issues where I don't know if I'm getting proper absorption. This really helps! 🙂

Helpful! Thanks.

Great job thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

THANK YOU!!

Gracias por tan excelente profesional detallado explicación y manera de explicar todo en sus videos, los he visto repetidas veces porque soy nueva con esta pompa de insulina y tengo bastante dudas y desconfianza con el sistema, principalmente en cuanto a adhesión y el tener que usar bolsillo para llevarla 🤔🙄🤷🏽‍♀️👍👌👏

I turned the arrow like you said and the line is facing up, just to be sure which way do you turn the arrow so it faces down I prefer do en and into my pocket GREAT VIDEO!!! I used it while installing first xc autosoft❤

I am still looking for the XC insertion demo. So far the instructions say they are going to insert it but have only shown the '90'. Thanks for that one!

Nice refresher course. Been doing for 3 years, usually use trusteel, ran out so using auto soft. Having issues with auto soft as it bends and don’t insert. Thinking maybe cuz I’ve been pinching skin then popping in. Just tried like you showed, just put on and no pinch of skin. Let’s see. A bent insert is just pumping insulin nowhere.

Having trouble finding the disconnect cover. Can you share where that is for showers, swimming, etc… ?

Excellent video. Thanks for this. I have been using the AutoSoft 90 for around 3 years now and the past few months have been getting bent cannula. It could be based on many different variables I imagine but partly I think I am to blame for rushing the process of insertion. You mention holding the base down when removing the needle protective cover...I think I have not done that at times and my cannula gets jammed into my skin, the cannula bends and my sugars went very high. Question for you...I am using the 6mm cannula. Would the 9mm cannula be less prone to bending in my body?

I have been using this infusion set for quite some time and I also use a dexcom G6 device. With my G6 I use an overpatch which is great because I'm very athletic, however is there an overpatch that I could get for Autosoft XC infusion?

What is the differencebetween the autosoft xc and the autosoft 90 ?

These hurt no matter how or where I put them in and my doctor is no help. Told me oh well I had to find new spots, problem is I’ve tried everything and everywhere

Never assume that the tubing is already filled

I absolutely can’t stand this design. Constantly making me high cause the design is so poor
