In a recent press release, Medtronic announced that is has received CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark for the MiniMed(TM) 670G hybrid closed loop system - the first and only system to automate and personalize the delivery of basal insulin 24 hours a day1.
The system is CE Mark approved for the treatment of people with type 1 diabetes 7 years of age and older with ongoing studies to expand the indication to additional patient populations.
"We're proud to introduce our most advanced SmartGuard Auto Mode algorithm outside of the United States, which not only helps to prevent lows but works to drive Time in Range - a most important measure of the effect of diabetes management on a patient's glucose levels - by decreasing time in hyperglycemia," said Alejandro Galindo, president of the Advanced Insulin Management division within the Diabetes Group at Medtronic. "The MiniMed 670G system advances our ability to automatically suspend and resume insulin delivery to the next level by automating self-adjusting basal insulin delivery every 5 minutes based on sensor glucose values - providing the most advanced algorithm available to deliver leading clinical outcomes."
