I heard that a prototype of the product was made in 2008.
I understand FDA, but I think it is very ridiculous situation.
They should permit the product for a diabetics rapidly.

I just received an e-mail back from Debiotech after inquiring about the release of the Nanopump. This was their reply as of June 9, 2009.

Thank you for your interest in our Insulin Nanopump. We appreciate dearly your enthusiasm. That is what we strive to achieve with our work, to make the life of diabetic patients more safe and more convenient by developing a better Insulin pump.

Please understand that Debiotech is developing the Insulin Nanopump, we are neither manufacturing it nor are we commercializing it.

We will partner with a company, our future licensee, that will organize the manufacturing and distribute the product commercially. Currently, the Insulin Nanopump is still available for license.

Most marketing aspects, like pricing and availability on the different national markets will be handled by the licensee. Thus, today we may not communicate when and where the pump will be available.

Be assured that availability will be communicated publicly after a license partnership is in place. Please check our website or the relevant press regularly for announcements of this partnership.

Best Regards,

The team of Search and Development for DEBIOTECH

When will the nano pump be available in the US? I haven’t seen it yet. This article was written June 2007. It is now Feb 2009. They now make an IPod the size of a quarter that carries 1000 songs and communicates with your shoe. Just wondered when a smaller pump will be available.

I would like to see how it works and if it is less obtrusive than today’s pumps.Don’t get me wrong I love my Animas 2020 but it is always nice to have something better.

When is this expected to be available in the U.S.? I have a 10 year old son with Type 1 that would love this instead of his usual 4-5 shots daily. Get moving FDA!

This sounds wonderful, but what is the cost,and does it also check bloodaugars too? Also, is this another pie-in-the sky story?

There’s a company very close to us Bernard that is a leader in this technology. Although not quite yet at the nano level.

I don’t think you see anything in the US on this one until it’s gotten FDA approval.

I’ll bet anything you can find out will be from Europe first.
