Implantable Insulin Pump
The Implantable Insulin Pump (Pump) is a round disc, 8.1 cm (3.2 inches) in
diameter, 2.0 cm (0.8 inches) thick. The Pump weighs 131 grams (4.6 ounces)
when empty. The outside case of the Pump is made of titanium. Titanium is a
biocompatible metal used in many types of implantable medical devices. A
tangential Side Port Catheter is attached to the Pump prior to implant, using a
locking connector (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: The Implantable Insulin Pump
The Implantable Insulin Pump is an advanced insulin infusion device with
sophisticated microelectronics. It delivers a special insulin medication, using a
pulsatile solenoid pumping mechanism that is hermetically sealed inside the
biocompatible titanium case. Insulin delivery rates and profiles are programmed
using an external device, the Personal Pump Communicator (PPC). Specific
information on the Implantable Insulin Pump features is outlined in the following
sections.
