Tandem’s New t:flex Insulin Pump with Huge Reservoir

Tandem Diabetes Care (San Diego, CA) just announced that the FDA has given clearance to its t:flex insulin pump. Having the largest insulin store of any system available, the t:flex is aimed at diabetics who consume greater quantities of insulin. The reservoir holds 480 units of insulin, which may be sufficient for even the most brittle Type 1 patients.

The device is based on the t:slim insulin pump, having the same design and interface, as well as the company’s Micro-Delivery technology. The company expects to begin shipments of the t:flex in the second quarter of 2015.
