MiniMed Launches First MiniMed Flex System in the U.S.
MiniMed announced its first commercial launch of the MiniMed Flex system in the U.S.- its first app-controlled pump and the company's smallest insulin pump yet. The system launches with Simplera Sync sensor, a disposable, all-in-one sensor with easy two-step insertion. The launch with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott, will follow later this summer. For years, people who use insulin pumps have had to think about where and how they wear their device each day. While diabetes technology has advanced, many still had to choose between clinical performance and a pump that works with their lifestyle. Few products have offered both. The MiniMed Flex system is powered by MiniMed's most advanced SmartGuard algorithm - the only system with Meal Detection(TM) technology that detects rapid rises in sensor glucose and delivers a correction dose for occasional missed meal boluses or underestimated carb counts. The MiniMed Flex system is FDA cleared for people with type 1 diabetes ages 7 years and older, as well as adults ages 18 years and older with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes. Reimbursement support and access programs are available through MiniMed's customer support team.
