pump, which can help patients overcome their fear of insertion sets or unsightly tubing and achieve the clinical 

benefits of insulin pump therapy. 

In addition, you can carry the PDM separately in a backpack, briefcase, or purse. 

With the insulin management system, you don’t have to insert the infusion set manually or carry around a separate 

inserter. You simply press a button on the PDM and the Patch Pump automated insertion system safely and 

consistently inserts the cannula beneath the skin, virtually pain free.   

The Patch Pump integrates the pumping mechanism, cannula, needle, and insulin reservoir into one wearable unit. 

There is no need to carry separate reservoirs, infusion sets, or inserters, and no assembly required. Just add insulin 

and it’s ready to go. 

After you check your blood glucose, enter the carbs for your snack or meal. Based on your individual settings, the 

PatchTrum Insulin Management system contains an optional feature called the Bolus Guide. This does the math for 

the required bolus amount based on your personal settings. The system displays a suggested bolus dose. You can 

accept the suggestion, change it, or cancel it. The Bolus Guide will use your BG reading, carbohydrate intake, and 

active insulin when coming up with your bolus amount. 

Another convenient part of the PatchTrum insulin management system is record keeping. The data storage system in 

the personal diabetes manager (PDM) displays up to 90 days’ worth of information. This includes basal rates, bolus 

doses, daily totals, alarms and events. Records wrote in the memory chip of the PDM can be stored up to 10 years.
