Scope note: Dispositivos portátiles o implantables para la infusión de insulina. Incluyen sistemas de asa abierta que pueden ser manejados por el paciente o controlados por un programa preestablecido y que están diseñados para la liberación constante de pequeñas cantidades de insulina que se aumentan durante la ingestión de alimentos, y sistemas de asa cerrada que liberan cantidades de insulina de forma automática basados en un sensor electrónico de glucosa.

Scope note: Portable or implantable devices for infusion of insulin. Includes open-loop systems which may be patient-operated or controlled by a pre-set program and are designed for constant delivery of small quantities of insulin, increased during food ingestion, and closed-loop systems which deliver quantities of insulin automatically based on an electronic glucose sensor.
