internal bleeding

when using the comfort infusion set is it possible since the canula is so big to hit an organ or something and get internal bleeding?

No. Not unless you are a frog, fly, or cricket.

I don't think that it is just because it has an angled set, and so you aren't sticking the needle in like you would for a shot at the dr's office. Also, I think it would have to be a pretty long needle to get through you enough to strike anything important.
