The FDA has approved the Minimed 670G (Medtronic), a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system for use in patients ≥14 years old with type 1 diabetes. The system uses an algorithm to automatically adjust basal insulin doses based on readings from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). It fully automates basal insulin delivery in "auto" mode, but is considered a "hybrid" system (not a true "artificial pancreas") because it requires some action by the patient. The 670G system is expected to become available in Spring 2017.

The FDA has approved the MiniMed 530G (Medtronic), an insulin pump used in combination with a continuous glucose monitoring sensor (Enlite) that can stop delivery of insulin when interstitial glucose reaches a prespecified low level. It is the only sensoraugmented insulin pump available in the US with this capability.
