Prior to the start of closed-loop, the Tandem t:slim insulin pump replaced the patient's own pump, and a steel infusion set (Contact Detach; Unomedical AS, Lejre, Denmark) was inserted.
DiAs controlled a t:slim insulin pump (Tandem Diabetes Care, San Diego, CA) via wireless Bluetooth low-energy signal; the pump's own user interface was disabled and the pump communications were modified to accommodate closed-loop operation.
The Diabetes Assistant (DIAS) USS used the Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose sensor (Dexcom) and t:slim insulin pump (Tandem Diabetes Care).
The components of the system, shown in Fig. 1, include a Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose sensor (Dexcom, San Diego, CA), a modified Tandem t:slim insulin pump (Tandem Diabetes Care, San Diego, CA), and a DIAS platform running a specifically modified Android operating system (Android, Inc).
Certainly its 60-foot-long flow of looping, swooping characters — they twist and shout; pump up, slim down; leave skid marks behind them — blurs distinctions between writing and painting, control and spontaneity, virtuosity and accident.
The experimental setup was provided by the Ruska Company, United States, and consisted of an injection system with a positive displacement pump, a slim tube, a backpressure regulator, a differential pressure transducer, a temperature-controlling system, a sample collection system, and a gas chromatograph.
Not her slim dresses, nor her pumps, her J Brand jeans or see-through hose.
He smiled as Mr. Aviles did a pirouette in his purple lame gown (size 8), showing off cleanly shaven legs, slim hips and stiletto pumps.
Sensor (Dexcom G4) and insulin pump (Tandem t:slim) were connected to Diabetes Assistant (DiAs)—a smartphone artificial pancreas platform.
