The Accu-Chek^® Solo tubeless patch pump system offers the functions of a traditional insulin pump alongside with the technological advancement of tube-free insulin delivery. The system consists of two main components: a small, lightweight and detachable insulin tubeless patch pump and a full-featured remote control incorporating blood glucose monitoring and bolus advice. The system with its modular design allows for bolus insulin dosing both from the remote control or directly from the pump as well as the option to detach and re-attach the pump without wasting insulin or disposables.

You can test a demo tubeless patch pump to experience the wearing, prior to moving to pump therapy. It can be worn on the body, at one of the recommended insertion sites, without an inserted cannula. The Accu-Chek^® Solo demo tubeless patch pump is a model of the real Accu-Chek^® Solo tubeless patch pump, but without functionality. It has the same dimensions and weight as the original tubeless patch pump.

For patients depending on insulin with multiple daily injections and patients already on CSII who would like to have a pump without tubing. The main target group are young and young at heart PwD on MDI therapy hesitant to move to CSII due to the downsides of the tubing of conventional pumps seeking for more flexibility managing their diabetes and insulin dosing with little impact on their active lifestyle.

The first generation of the Accu-Chek^® Solo tubeless patch pump will not offer a CGM integration. For future product iterations we plan to integrate CGM data into the system. The diabetes manager allows you to manually enter a glucose value that can be used to e.g. calculate a bolus. You could use your CGM device of choice in conjunction with the Accu-Chek^® Solo tubeless patch pump system.
