Tandem Diabetes Care Gets CE Mark for Insulin Pump

A San Diego medical device company, Tandem Diabetes Care, received a CE Mark for its t:slim X2 insulin pump with Dexcom G5 mobile continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

The device includes a large color touchscreen, watertight construction, USB connectivity and a rechargeable battery. It is the first CGM-enabled pump that lets users make treatment decisions without pricking their finger.

The company plans to launch the pump commercially in select global markets in the second half of 2018.
