FDA clears automated insulin pump from Beta Bionics for type 1 diabetes
The FDA has cleared the Beta Bionics iLet ACE automated insulin pump and iLet dosing decision software for people aged 6 and above with type 1 diabetes. The iLet Bionic Pancreas, which pairs with Dexcom G6 CGM, uses an adaptive, closed-loop algorithm to determine and command insulin delivery, simplifying diabetes management. The system showed promising results in reducing HbA1c and improving the quality of life in trial participants. The company hopes the iLet will alleviate the burden of diabetes management and be a step towards a fully automated insulin dosing system.
