Animas Corporation has announced the CE marking of its Animas Vibe insulin pump with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) functionality. The Animas Vibe is the first waterproof CGM-enabled diabetes management system. The system relies on Dexcom, Inc.’s G4 Sensor for its CGM features, and can interface with Diasend software to allow patients to record and track diabetes management data.
Some more features from the press release:
• The latest technology available from Dexcom – Dexcom G4™, a tiny, round and flexible sensor with the smallest introducer needle as compared to Abbott Freestyle Navigator® and Medtronic Sof-Sensor®
• Advanced high-contrast colour pump screen technology that displays glucose trends with coloured arrows and lines showing where and how fast glucose levels are shifting
• Dexcom sensor technology approved for up to seven days of wear, delivering more days of CGM data than those approved for a shorter duration
• Waterproof durability up to 12 feet (3.6 metres) for 24 hours for the insulin pump, with a Dexcom G4™ Transmitter that is waterproof at 8 feet (2.4 metres) for 24 hours
• Customizable alarms to indicate high and low glucose levels including a hypo-safety alarm fixed at 55 mg/dL (3.1mmol/L)
• Low basal increment (0.025 U/hr) across all available ranges (0.025 U/hr to 25.00 U/hr) for precise dosing
• Compatibility with Diasend® communications software, enabling patients to store, review and print both CGM and insulin pump data
