The launch comes a few months after the system picked up FDA clearance in March.
Northridge, California-based MiniMed, the former Medtronic Diabetes unit, designed Flex, its smallest insulin pump yet, as its first app-controlled pump. It launched the platform with the Simplera Sync sensor, a disposable, all-in-one sensor with easy two-step insertion. The company plans to roll it out with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott, later this summer.
Flex comes in at roughly the size of two stacked insulin vials — about half the size of other MiniMed pumps. Still, it holds 300 units of insulin, fitting into everyday life no matter what a person wants to wear.
