Ambulatory insulin infusion pump, electronic

Definition

A portable, battery-powered, electronic device designed to provide continuous or intermittent subcutaneous delivery of insulin to a patient with diabetes mellitus. It may be badge-like, designed to adhere to skin or clothing (e.g., with a pressure-sensitive adhesive), or worn in a case attached to the belt or carried in a pocket. It includes a reservoir (e.g., a cartridge similar to a syringe), a pumping mechanism, and an infusion-rate controller. The pump infuses microvolume pulses and/or bolus doses of insulin subcutaneously, typically into the abdomen, through a needle or catheter (not included).
