FDA approves first-of-its-kind automated insulin delivery and monitoring system for use in young paediatric patients
31 August 2020 - Today, the U.S. FDA approved the MiniMed 770G System, a hybrid closed loop diabetes management device that is intended to automatically monitor glucose and provide appropriate basal insulin doses with little or no input from the users or their caregivers for use by individuals aged 2 to 6 with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The 770G System is a first-of-a-kind device for patients aged 2 to 6 years. It is the first legally marketed device that can automatically adjust insulin delivery based on continuous glucose monitor values for this patient population.
