Update on Medingo’s Solo MicroPump
We recently wrote an article on a full-featured “detachable” tubeless insulin pump, Medingo’s Solo MicroPump Insulin Delivery System. We had previously mentioned that the pump was being prepared to launch as early as mid-2010; however, Roche Diabetes Care recently acquired Medingo and has delayed plans to make the Solo MicroPump available as quickly. The plan is now for the pump to come to market in 2012, with the possibility of smaller regional launches in Europe before that time. As a reminder, this pump has already received FDA approval for delivering insulin. We will be sure to keep you posted on any further developments. --ST
