It is unclear when the improved inserter will be available in the US, though we’d hope to see it in the list of countries launching later this year.ĭiaTribe Senior Editor Adam Brown and colleagues Brian Levine and Maeve Serino saw the set up close at ATTD and thought it was a very big improvement over current inserter options.

Mio Advance is limited to use with 6 mm Teflon cannula. It is compatible with Medtronic pumps and those with a luer-lock connector (Roche, Animas). There are no parts to put together, no intimidating or visible needle, and the device can be used with one hand – a win for kids, elderly people, and those who wear pump sets on the arm.Ĭreated by Unomedical and distributed through Medtronic, the Mio Advance is currently available in the UK, Italy, and the Netherlands, with more countries expected later this year (including Canada). To insert a new pump set, users simply peel off the adhesive, remove the disconnect cover, place the set on the desired infusion site, and press the button to insert. Mio Advance features an all-in-one, fully disposable inserter with a fully hidden needle. The new MiniMed Mio Advance insulin pump infusion set inserter drew eager eyes at the 2018 ATTD conference in Vienna last month. Less intimidating insertion for pump users: peel tape, remove cover, one button to insert available in Europe, with more countries coming later this year
