Abstract
A manual infusion set comprises a top connector lockable in a plurality of positions. The top connector and tubing is initially loaded from the top and then slid forward in order to puncture the septum. Once the connector is attached, it cannot be rotated. With the connector locked in place, flexible tubing connects the septum hub with a medicine pump, which continually supplies medicine such as insulin to a user.
