Medtronic’s Tubeless Pump - Medtronic Acquires a New Pump

Medtronic plans to release a wearable insulin pump by acquiring a South Korean company called EO Flow. It plans to incorporate its 780g algorithm to the patch pump. The EO Flow pump is already available outside the US - it's waterproof, lasts 3.5 days, and holds up to 200 units. Plans for a 7-day pod were announced in Nov 2022.

I’m using MiniMed 780G close loop system. This is the best pump I have ever.

[Chennifer]

I would love to have a tubeless pump with 300 units, if it would really works till the end of 3 or better 7 days!

[nrheico]

Omnipod only needs 80 units as well. If you look at the fill line on the syringe it’s lower than the 100 mark.

I’m being considered for an insulin pump in November and have been looking at Omnipod because I want a tubeless system. The 3 day life of the pump is its main drawback for me and I really like the idea that I could have one lasting for a week. I guess that’s not going to be available in the UK this year and I’ll have to go with Omnipod but I’m looking forward anyhow to fewer injections.

These stick on pumps need to come in 300U size.

[ForceFreeTrainergirl]

The omnipod does NOT need 100 units to activate it.I'm shocked you don't know that. I use the minimum and that is 85 units. I only use 45 to 50 over a 3 day period. It would be great to have a pump like this that lasts 7 days and has a large reservior. I would be happy to have it be a bit bigger if that is necessary.

[az.az]

Omnipod also needs 80 units min! We need a pump to hold min 300 unit!

[veryaveragegamingstud]

I'd love a 300U tubeless pump, however I use omnipod currently and I'm not sure if I want a pump 20% something bigger than the Omnipod for 7 days. If it was the same size as now id do it in a heartbeat.

[michaelsee]

There is no grace period. Ther is an advanced diabetes management devise (ADM) or a app called Narsha

[Jilvanirandoust]

When it comes to 7 days I’d worry more about creating scar tissue build up? Also My T1D 4yr old sometimes has sensitivity when her omnipod is worn for the full 3 days

Can you make a podcast on PharmaSens Niia essential ?

[DallasSavy]

I really just someone to come up with an affordable solution. Right now my Omnipod is costing me $380 a month.

[floridacloser]

Interesting!! What pumps will integrate with Eversense and are you making any videos on them?

[katemonster]

I am using the Medtronic MiniMed 670G. I just want to find out what tubeless pump is out there that is good. I hate my pump with the cord. It gets wrapped around a lot of doorknobs and other things and rips off of me 😡

[wthomas]

I'm cautious on what a medtronics acquisition could mean for the cost in the US.

[francielipirolla]

can I go in the sauna with that pump??

[craigcoffman]

I've been on omnipod for a year pretty good but I don't trust it's calculations. I did the X2 for about 3 or 4 years best algorithm but they have software issues that they are not addressing the Medtronic only lasted 3 months Guardian sensor was awful I'm ready for a new pump but they all suck four different reasons

[annthor]

I've read that this won't be released until 2026 at the earliest.

[infusionset]

You lost me at 200 units unfortunately. when will there be a 300 unit one!....I spoke to soon!!! lol
