What is the Inreda AP^®

A bi-hormonal fully closed loop system

Inreda Diabetic B.V. is developing a bi-hormonal fully closed loop system, it is called the Inreda AP^®. The device is intended for people with diabetes who are treated with insulin, for use at home. The Inreda AP^® is an automatic system (closed loop) and independently regulates the blood glucose level by administering insulin and glucagon. This eliminates the need to administer insulin tasks will therefore disappear.

The AP^®5, CE approved under MDR, is being used in multiple studies and projects. The AP^®6 is currently under development.

How the Inreda AP^®works

The purpose of the Inreda AP^® is to ensure that your blood glucose level remains as stable as possible. To continuously measure your blood glucose, the Inreda AP^® uses two sensors. Each sensor has a transmitter, which wirelessly transmits these measurements to the device. The Inreda AP^® uses the measured blood glucose value to determine when and how much insulin (reduce high blood sugar) or glucagon (raise low blood sugar) should be administered. You do not have to indicate whether you are going to exercise or eat. Insulin or glucagon is delivered automatically via two infusion sets.

How do I wear the Inreda AP^®

Wearing the Inreda AP^®

The Inreda AP^® is worn on the front of the body. The sensors and transmitters are usually placed on the abdomen. The Inreda AP^® is always worn on the same side as the sensors and transmitters. This keeps the transmitters connected to the Inreda AP^®. The infusion sets can be worn in several places on the body. The puncture site of the sensors with transmitters and of the infusion sets depends on your preference and what works best for you.
