 Animas Corporation teamed up with Dexcom Inc. and developed the first insulin pump integrated

with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), called the Animas i!e.

"ith the Animas i!e, users can view their historical and latest glucose readings on the screen of

the insulin pump, which points out highs and lows of !lood glucose, !etter allowing users more

accurate and relevant information in administering their insulin doses. Again, #he im!edded CGM

technolog$ shows real%time glucose levels on a color graph and measures level trends !$

automaticall$ ta&ing !lood glucose levels ever$ five minutes.' #he Animas i!e includes a deliver$

s$stem with !asal rate increments as low as *.*+ -hr, !olus ranges from *.* - to -, colored

CGM with a /0 Mean A!solute 1elative Difference (A1D), is waterproof to /+ feet for +2 hours

(pump), and has customi3a!le alarms for detecting high and low glucose levels. '2

In 4une +*/2, the Animas i!e revealed promising data through a 4uvenile Dia!etes 1esearch

5oundation colla!orative stud$ where twelve stud$ participants maintained minimum exposure

of h$pogl$cemic !lood glucose levels, deemed at glucose 67* mgd8, for 99./0 of the stud$

duration.' #his success was made possi!le !$ the integration of Animas: predictive h$pogl$cemia%

minimi3ing algorithm and Dexcom:s G2 ;8A#Iuent 5DA approval of the Animas i!e !rings the industr$ one step closer to !ringing a
