Vibe Insulin Pump with CGMS Technology

 

Animas, a division of Johnson & Johnson, has finally won FDA approval for its Vibe insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring system. The pump is the first to pair with Dexcom’s G4 PLATINUM continuous glucose monitor that samples interstitial fluid every five minutes and provides a trending chart of the patient’s sugar levels. This can be quite important, as a single reading doesn’t indicate where the overall trend is moving. The Animas device displays readings obtained wirelessly from the G4 PLATINUM glucometer.
