[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2465560, member: 527103"] A tubey pump has a non metallic cannula at the end of the tube. This allows the pump to be temporarily disconnected for an MRI scan. A patch pump will have to be completely removed but all pumps need to be changed (new cannula inserted and cartridge filled) every 3 or 4 days so restarting a new pump set is not a big thing. I have had both tubey and patch pumps and had MRI scans and x-rays requiring pump disconnection. [/QUOTE]
