A new desk-top artificial pancreas (Betalike) utilizing extracorporeal hemofiltration: realization and clinical trials.
We present in this work a new artificial endocrine pancreas (BETALIKE), smaller than the available ones, transportable and fully automated. In the clinical trials performed this device showed good blood glucose controls and glycemic measurements were highly correlated with other automatic analyzer assays. No side effect was reported.
