• While 9 out of 10 people with diabetes are living with T2D, many of the automated insulin delivery solutions currently on the market were designed for people living with T1D.
• 300-unit insulin reservoir is more suitable for people with T2D who are interested in moving from multiple daily injections (MDI) to pump therapy, based on an average daily dose of 95.9 units of insulin.¹
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Embecta Corp. (“embecta”) (Nasdaq: EMBC), a global diabetes care company with a 100-year legacy in insulin delivery, today announced it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its proprietary disposable insulin delivery system. Indicated for adults who require insulin to manage diabetes, including both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D), the system includes a tubeless patch pump design with a 300-unit insulin reservoir that was informed by feedback from people with T2D and their healthcare providers.
“FDA clearance of our disposable insulin delivery system has been a top strategic priority for our team since launching embecta as an independent company, and achieving this milestone through strong execution exemplifies our commitment to making life better for the growing number of people living with diabetes,” said Dev Kurdikar, CEO. “As we continue to advance toward our vision of a life unlimited by diabetes, our team has focused on developing a patch pump that could address some of the most significant obstacles to adopting pump therapy for people who use insulin daily to manage their diabetes. This platform is also serving as the basis for an automated insulin delivery system in development.” Read More >
