Medtronic announced that it had received FDA approval for the world’s first hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin delivery system – the MiniMed 670G system. It’s the company’s most advanced insulin pump and sensor system to date and provides patients living with diabetes more glucose control than ever before.
The system, which automatically adjusts the delivery of basal insulin, is also customizable so patients can choose from various levels of automation that best fit their management needs. The MiniMed 670G requires reduced patient interaction and uses the company’s most advanced SmartGuard™ HCL algorithm to minimize spikes and dangerous lows in blood sugar levels so patients feel better more often.
The system is approved for treatment of people living with type 1 diabetes 14 years of age and older. A clinical study is ongoing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the therapy in children ages seven to 13, as well as a feasibility study evaluating the therapy in children ages two to six.
Medtronic will begin commercial release in Spring 2017.
