An insulin pump is a medical device used for administering insulin. This type of treatment is also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy.

• The pump itself (including controls, processing module, and batteries)
• A disposable reservoir for insulin (inside the pump)
• A disposable infusion set, including a cannula for subcutaneous insertion (under the skin)
• A tubing system to interface the insulin reservoir to the cannula

Dana II pump downloads up to one year of data to a PDA or PC. Dana Magic bolus calculator permits precise dosing and carb counting using a food database. Includes correction factors, low blood glucose alerts, high blood glucose tracker, active insulin feature. All devices interface with each other and with proprietary glucometer (Dana Chek) for transmitting blood glucose data for dosing and for data storage, retrieval, and management.	All-in-one pump and blood glucose meter. Cozmonitor snaps onto the Cozmo pump and uses FreeStyle test strips. Blood glucose results are displayed on the Cozmo screen. Cozmo pump has insulin dose calculations for carbohydrate and for correction boluses. Continuously calculates insulin delivery from previous boluses to prevent overdosing. Special alerts include missed meal bolus, site change reminder, and blood glucose reminders, including post-meal blood glucose and follow-up after a low or high reading. Eight specific reminders can be set daily or for a one-time event. Up to 12 custom meal boluses. Waterproof.
