2. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
People with diabetes cannot make their own
insulin, a hormone that is normally secreted by
the pancreas. Insulin is essential to metabolise
sugar and hence generate energy.
Currently most diabetics inject insulin 2 or more
times per day, with the dose injected based on
readings of their blood sugar level.

3. INSULIN PUMP
A personal insulin pump is an external
device that mimics the function of the
pancreas.
It uses an embedded sensor to measure
blood sugar level at periodic intervals and
then injects insulin to maintain the blood
sugar at a ‘normal’ level.
Also known as Continuous Subcutaneous
Infusion Therapy.

4. The device configuration may vary
depending on design.
The traditional pump includes:
The pump (controls, processing modules
& batteries).
A disposable reservoir for insulin (inside
the pump).
A disposable infusion set, including a
canula for subcutaneous insertion (under
the skin) & a tubing system to interface
the insulin reservoir to the canula.

How to use an insulin pump
•Filling reservoir with insulin.
•Once reservoir is filled remove the
plunger.
•Attached to the infusion set.
•Put the new infusion set into the pump.
•Prime the pump by pushing a few
command button on your pump.
(priming means fill the cord with insulin.
During priming insulin come out of the
needle end of infusion set.)
9. 9
• Once it is primed ,set the needle end of
the infusion set in to the Quick-serter.
• Sterilize the area planning to place the
set.
• Quick-serter loads the set into the place
with the push of a button.
• Remove the Quick-serter.

4. Infusion set Insertion device
Insulin pump:
A small durable medical device that
has,
◘ Buttons to program your insulin.
◘ LCD screen to show what you are
programming.
15. 15
◘ Battery compartment to hold 1 AAA
alkaline battery.
◘ Reservoir compartment that holds
insulin.
• Reservoir:
A plastic cartridge that holds the insulin
that is locked in to the insulin pump.
It comes with a transfer guard that
assist with pulling the insulin from vial
in to the reservoir.
A reservoir can hold up to 300 units of
insulin & is charged every 2-3 days.
16. 16
• Infusion set:
An infusion set includes a thin tube that
goes from the reservoir to the infusion
site on your body.
The canula is inserted with a small
needle that is removed after it is in
place.
It goes in to the sites on your body
similar to where you give your insulin
injection.
The infusion set is changed every 2-3
days.
17. 17
• Infusion set insertion device:
An infusion set is placed in to the
insertion device & with a push of a
button , the infusion set is inserted
quickly & easily.
18. 18
Dosing of insulin:
•The insulin pump delivers a single type of
rapid acting insulin in 2 ways.
a.A bolus dose: That is pumped to cover food
eaten or to correct a high blood glucose level.
b.A basal dose: That is pumped continuously
at adjustable basal rate to deliver insulin
needed between meals & at night.

Advantages of insulin pump :
•Increased flexibility in lifestyle.
•Predictable insulin delivery.
•Precise insulin delivery.
•Reducing episodes of severe hypoglycemia.
•Reducing wide fluctuation in blood glucose.
Disadvantages of insulin pump:
•Risk of skin infection at the catheter site.
•Risk of diabetic ketoacidosis from pump
malfunction or absorption problems.
32. 32
• Cost of pumps are expensive.
• Letting others know that you have
diabetics.
In a healthy person insulin is produced and stored by the β-cells in the pancreas. In the absence of insulin or insulin deficiency, metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fats are upset, ultimately resulting in Diabetes Mellitus.
Clinically, diabetic patients require subcutaneous injection of exogenous insulin for the management of hyperglycemia. To maintain normal glucose levels in diabetic patients several new approaches are made like pancreatic islet cell transplant, insulin pumps, etc.
Current practice for diabetes control relies on the sufferer measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in their blood then using their experience to judge how much insulin they should inject. They have to make predictions of how their future level of blood glucose will be affected by planned meals, exercise, etc.
Failure to control blood sugar can result in a number of nasty side-effects such as blindness, kidney failure, heart disease and circulation problems.
For reasons that are almost certainly related to current lifestyles, the number of diabetics in the population has increased significantly over the past few years. It has been estimated by the World Health Organisation that:
“Diabetes cases in adults will more than double globally from 143 million in 1997 to 300 million by 2025 largely because of dietary and other lifestyle factors. “
Insulin pump is a mechanical device which allows patients to achieve and maintain blood glucose at near normal level on a constant basis. Continuous infusion of insulin through the use of these small and light-weight pumps eliminates the need for the patient to adhere rigidly to a regimen of multiple daily injections of insulin. This provides convenience, better adherence, and control over the disease process.
Personal insulin pumps are currently beyond the ‘state of the art’ although I believe that larger-scale devices of this type have been developed for use in hospitals.
The key difficulty (I suspect) in developing such a system is that blood sugar sensors are invasive and there are probably problems with infections in developing such a system. In future, it may be possible to measure blood sugar level by looking at secretions on the skin and this would then make automated pumps possible.
Personal insulin pumps are available but these are not ‘smart’ systems and they rely on users to make decisions about how much insulin to inject and when to inject it. To read more about them, see:

Insulin pumps are designed to transmit drugs and fluids into the bloodstream without the repeated insertion of needles. These systems are particularly well suited to the drug delivery requirements of insulin, steroids, chemotherapeutics, antibiotics, analgesics, total parenteral nutrition, and heparin.
Early insulin infusion pumps were large bedside units used mainly in hospitals. Today, an insulin pump is the size and weight of a personal pager. It is a plastic-encased computer device that can be worn in a pocket or on the belt. A computer chip in the pump allows the patient to program the amount of insulin for the pump to release. An alarm can be set to warn the patient of a low battery or to indicate that the insulin was not delivered.
For optimal working efficiency, the patient should change the infusion site every 2 or 3 days or whenever the blood glucose is above 240 mg/dL for two tests in a row. This may indicate that the infusion set is not working properly.
Peristaltic pumps:
It is based on the principle of a portable pump. They are safer since no drug can be delivered in case of an electrical malfunction. A titanium chamber is used to house the pump, electronics, and battery in order to provide a hermatic seal. This is important in order to prevent contamination. The housing is further coated for enhanced biocompatibility. Internal components are made from corrosion-resistant materials.
