Medical Technology Innovation Gadget (Electronic Insulin Pump) # 7


Electronic Insulin Pump




This small, portable device fits easily into the patient’s lifestyle, continuously delivering fast-acting insulin 24 hours a day. It’s easy to operate and gives patient a whole new level of flexibility, allowing patient to sleep in, eat and exercise when patient want. The patient can finely tune the insulin delivery to better suit their changing daily needs.
The Insulin Pump includes the Medtronic Bolus Wizar Calculator, Three Bolus Options, Active Insulin Onboard display, a Missed Meal Bolus reminder and continuous glucose monitoring right on the insulin pump to provide a glucose trend and avoid numerous finger pricks.
The Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) – an automatic insulin shut-off mechanism for when the glucose falls below a pre-set limit. The system will sound an alert so the patient can take action to prevent or minimise a hypoglycaemic event. If the patient don’t respond to this alert and then reach the pre-set low, a further warning will sound. If the patient still fail to respond to this warning, the Paradigm Veo System will automatically halt insulin delivery for two hours.
