The Animas 2020 is an insulin pump that carries 200 units of insulin and can be connected to an infusion set following the luer standard. Its predecessor was the Animas IR1250.
The system was designed to be personal and comes in five different colors, features a color screen and allows the user to have custom alarm tones. To improve treatment the system can save instructions to use when its user has a sick day and up to 500 rules set by the user on how to act on different occasions (such as when eating a certain food type).
The Animas Ping is a wireless diabetes therapy system, although the pump functions can be used wirelessly or manually. When used wirelessly it communicates with a meter/display device developed by Lifescan Scotland. [1]
