Johnson & Johnson‘s Animas division received FDA clearance to introduce its OneTouch Vibe Plus insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring system. The system uses Dexcom‘s G5 continuous stick-on glucometer which talks to the OneTouch Vibe Plus, as well as the Dexcom G5 App. Glucose readings can be checked anytime on the Vibe Plus as well as right within the app for discreet easy and frequent monitoring. The app can be used to easily share historical readings with one’s physician as well as family caretakers.
The system is indicated for patients as young as two years old. Since it wirelessly connects to a smartphone app, it makes it a lot easier to check on kids’ sugar levels without constantly bugging them about it.
