The EU just approved the innovative OmniPod Insulin Management System, that we’ve covered over the years, from Insulet Corporation. The tubeless system, designed to deliver less pain, has been approved by the FDA since 2005.
No tubing — means no insulin disruption from disconnecting, snagging, or kinking, plus the freedom to move, dress, bathe, and sleep as your patients please Automated cannula insertion — minimizes insertion errors and variability in insertion angle and depth while reducing anxiety related to the insertion process Integrated blood glucose meter — eliminates the need for patients to transfer blood glucose test results from one device to another Fully integrated design — means there are no separate infusion sets, inserters, insulin reservoirs or blood glucose meters to learn, manage, and carry; Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) can be carried easily in a pocket, purse, backpack, or briefcase, enhancing your patients’ discretion and privacy Innovative, intuitive user interface — is easy to learn and use; significantly reduces training time so you and your patients can focus on what’s important Data storage all in one place — PDM stores insulin delivery, blood glucose readings, and carbohydrate records putting your patients’ progress at your fingertips
