1. An infusion set comprising:
- tubing, wherein;
the tubing comprises a first tubing length having a narrow bore with a first inner diameter from 40 to 150 microns,the tubing comprises a second tubing length having a second inner diameter, andthe second inner diameter is larger than that of the first inner diameter;
a first connector which comprises a lateral extension and which connects a first terminus of said tubing to an exit port of an infusion pump, providing fluid communication between fluid being conveyed by said infusion pump and said tubing; and
a second connector which connects a second terminus of said tubing to a delivery module, providing fluid communication between said tubing and said delivery module;
wherein;
full engagement of said first connector and said exit port of said infusion pump comprises engagement of said lateral extension of said first connector with an actuator element of said infusion pump, and actuates operation of said infusion pump to deliver the fluid from said infusion pump to said exit port, andthe second tubing length is nearer to the second connector than the first tubing length is to the second connector.
