Pump name: Ypsopump
Sensor augmented: Yes
Colour display: No.
Careline: 24/7, 0344-856-7820
The development team of the mylife
YpsoPump designed an insulin pump
which focuses on essential functions.
It has an icon-based touchscreen for
intuitive operation and is a small (78mm
x46mm x16mm) and light-weight (around
80g) device for discreet and comfortable
wearing. It uses pre-filled cartridges
for quick and convenient changes and
includes Bluetooth integration for wireless
connection to the MyLife software and
app. Small and lightweight, the pump
requires the user to have little training,
being designed to be easy to operate.
The icon-based menu allows for intuitive
operation via an OLED touchscreen
(41mm x16mm), and it can handle
immersion in water to a depth of 1m for
up to one hour It features 30 years Swiss
medical engineering. It also works with
the MyLife Unio Neva blood glucose
meter, which can advise on boluses.
The MyLife Cloud allows you to share
data with your HCP. The open platform
system integrates with a range of other
devices, e.g. the bolus calculator app
allows you to to manually enter a blood
test result from another device, so any
can be used alongside the Ypsopump
system, so you chose which meter or
CGM you choose to use.

Careline:
ViCentra is the company bringing the
bright little Kaleido meter to market. Their
aim is to improve diabetes control without
any additional hassle. The colour shell (the
system comes in 10 colours) is just an
added extra as it contains cutting-edge
technology. As they say, "We think it's
only right that if you wear something 24/7
it should look good too." It comprises an
on-the-body patch pump and a handset,
which has been designed to be simple to
use and quick to navigate - the interface is
like that of a smartphone. To give a bolus
will just take a couple of clicks, likewise a
basal rate adjustment.
The pump and handset are
rechargeable. The pump uses a micro
delivery system for accurate insulin
delivery. It can detect insulin blockages,
should they occur, using an optical
sensor. You get two pumps (choose two
colour shells) and one handheld device
- the idea being that one pump can be
charging while the other is being worn.
Get choosing!
It's worth noting that Diabeloop's
automated insulin delivery system
includes the Kaleido insulin pump, an
Android controller, and the Dexcom G6
CGM. The Diabeloop is the second hybrid
closed loop approved in Europe for adults
with T1D the Medtronic MiniMed 670G).
The hybrid closed loop system (which
automates basal insulin delivery based
on CGM readings), is called DBLG1. It
received a CE mark at the end of 2018,
meaning that the company could sell the
automated insulin delivery (AID) system
in Europe. It launched in France in early
2019.
