The Animas® Vibe™ System consists of the Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump paired with the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter. The Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump is indicated for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for the management of insulin-requiring diabetes. It can be used solely for continuous insulin delivery and as part of the Animas® Vibe™ System to receive and display continuous glucose measurements from the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter. The Animas® Vibe™ System's continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is indicated for detecting trends and tracking patterns in persons (age 18 and older) with diabetes, and is intended to complement, not replace, information obtained from standard home glucose monitoring devices. CGM aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, facilitating both acute and long-term therapy adjustments, which may minimize these excursions. Interpretation of results from the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter should be based on the trends and patterns seen with several sequential readings over time. The System is intended for single patient use and requires a prescription.

## III. CONTRAINDICATIONS
### Contraindications for using the Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump
Insulin pump therapy is not recommended for people with diabetes who are unwilling or unable to:
- Test their blood glucose (BG) levels four to six times per day or as recommended by their Healthcare Professional (HCP).
- See their HCP regularly.
- Respond to pump alerts, warnings, and alarms because they are visually or hearing impaired.
Not following these guidelines will make it hard for you to determine how much insulin you need based on your current health status and the foods you eat. Not seeing your HCP on a regular basis will not allow them to make adjustments to your pump settings and diabetes treatment plan that would be beneficial to your health. Not being able to respond to pump notifications means you may not be aware of certain health conditions or problems with your pump that require your attention.
### Contraindications for using the Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter
- The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter must be removed prior to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) scan, or diathermy treatment. The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor and Transmitter have not been tested during MRI or CT scans or with diathermy treatment, and it is unknown if there are safety or performance issues.
- Taking acetaminophen-containing medications while wearing the Sensor may falsely raise your Sensor glucose readings. The level of inaccuracy depends on the amount of acetaminophen active in your body.
## IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
The warnings and precautions can be found in the Animas Vibe System labeling.

diabetes. The Dexcom G4 CGM System sensor (“the Sensor”) provides continuous measurements of glucose in the tissue over the range of 40 to 400 mg/dL for up to seven days of use measuring and displaying glucose values and trends for patients with diabetes mellitus. The Vibe System provides glucose trends, alerts and a low glucose alarm.
## Description of System Components
The Animas Vibe System is comprised of the following components:
### Animas Vibe Insulin Pump
The Animas Vibe Insulin Pump delivers insulin through an infusion set for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for the management of insulin-requiring diabetes.
The Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump is an external cartridge (syringe) pump and delivery system for ambulatory use by patients with insulin requiring diabetes who would benefit from a continuous insulin infusion process. The pump delivers a prescribed dosage of insulin as a single programmable bolus or at multiple programmable basal rates.
In addition to CGM data, the Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump will also display established Animas platform insulin-delivery information: set up information, dosage history, alarms, error and warning messages, device status and self-test capabilities. The Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump will not use the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to calculate insulin doses. The CGM data is being provided on the pump screen only as a convenience to the user.
The Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump consists of the following subsystems:
- A disposable insulin cartridge for storage of insulin.
- Battery compartment for holding a battery (the pumps energy source).
- Electronics, drive mechanism, software and display which form the core of the pump.
The insulin cartridge is a proprietary syringe comprised of a barrel and a plunger. The cartridge is filled with insulin by the user and is placed in a dedicated housing inside the pump. Within this housing, the cartridge plunger interfaces with a piston, a component of the pump drive mechanism. During the pump delivery sequence, a brushless dc motor drives a speed-reducing gear train and precision lead screw. The lead screw’s rotational motion is translated to a linear motion by the (non-rotating) piston. The forward motion by the piston applies a force to the cartridge plunger, which results in the delivery of insulin into the infusion set to the patient via the cannula. The volume of insulin delivered is directly dependent on the displacement of the plunger.
The Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump is a prescription device intended for home use and has been designed to withstand the environment typically seen by the patient in the home environment. The Animas® Vibe™ Insulin Pump includes a light emitting diode color display with an adjustable brightness. The design provides protection against fluid ingress (rated IPX8) and has also been designed to conform to relevant electromagnetic compatibility, drop-testing and electrostatic discharge (ESD) standards for performance in the home environment.

The pump software provides the intelligence for key operational functions such as user interface, error monitoring, status reporting and history recording. A glucose and RF engine are also included in the pump electronics to capture process and display CGM sensor signals and information.
## Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Sensor
The Dexcom G4 Platinum Sensor is comprised of a sensor applicator, an adhesive pad and transmitter mount and the sensor probe. The G4 Sensor is a sterile device inserted by the user into the abdominal subcutaneous tissue using the applicator. The applicator is adhered to the surface of the skin with a standard medical grade adhesive pad. The applicator contains a 26-gauge introducer needle that contains the sensor probe. The needle is not exposed, or even visible, to the user during the insertion process. After deployment of the introducer needle, the needle is retracted back into the applicator. The applicator is then detached and disposed by the user, exposing a transmitter mount ready for placement of the transmitter.
The sensor probe remains beneath the surface of the skin and uses the enzyme glucose oxidase to convert the glucose in the interstitial fluid around the sensor into an electrical current proportional to the ambient glucose concentration. The sensor continuously measures glucose in the interstitial fluid every five minutes. The flexible sensor has an adhesive to adhere the sensor to the skin. The sensor that is adhered to the skin is replaced every seven days.
The Vibe Pump has internally programmed algorithms to receive the wireless sensor signal from the Transmitter and convert the Sensor measured signal to a reading in $\mathrm{mg/dL}$. The Vibe Pump contains embedded software that drives the Pump user interface and signal processing required for glucose reading calculations, trend information displays, alerts and alarms, and signal processing algorithms. The Vibe Pump also contains calibration and signal processing algorithms required to convert the Sensor's electrical signal to glucose values in $\mathrm{mg/dL}$ that can be displayed to the user.
Calibrations are performed twice daily by the patient using standard commercially-available blood glucose meter devices and entered manually by the patient into the Animas Vibe insulin pump through a data entry menu. After calibrating the system, the Pump automatically displays the current glucose value, trend graphs of recent glucose values and rate of change arrows once every five minutes. The Animas Vibe Insulin Pump also contains circuitry to provide audible or vibratory alerts for high and low glucose values. The configurable pump High and Low Glucose Alerts can be set by the user in consultation with their health care team to provide warnings when their current glucose level is outside of their target range. Dashed lines on the receiver screen indicate the current alert level settings. The user can configure the Pump to provide audible, vibratory or combined audible and vibratory alerts. The pump also contains a non-configurable low glucose alarm at $55\mathrm{mg/dL}$ to provide users additional warning of hypoglycemia.
PMA P130007: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{4}
The Vibe System has proprietary algorithms to check for the integrity of the continuous glucose monitoring signal. If the System detects a problem with the Sensor signal or determines that the calibration is beyond an expected value, then the pump will not display a glucose value until the signal quality or calibration has been restored to an acceptable level.
## Dexcom G4 Platinum Transmitter
The Dexcom G4 CGM Transmitter is a miniature radio transmitter operating at an internationally-accepted radio frequency. After sensor insertion and removal of the applicator, the user manually places the G4 CGM Transmitter into the transmitter mount on the adhesive pad already attached to the skin. The Transmitter contains all the electrical circuitry necessary for the operation of the electrochemical sensor and also all the radio frequency circuitry necessary to transmit the sensor signal to the receiver in the pump. The transmitter collects the electrical current from the sensor and transmits the sensor signal wirelessly to the Animas Vibe Insulin Pump at 5 minute intervals. The Transmitter is programmed with a unique identification serial number that is manually entered into the corresponding pump by the user in order to establish a secure wireless communication link between the two hardware components. The Transmitter is reusable and contains non-replaceable batteries which allow the device to be used by a single user for the lifetime of the encased batteries, which is typically 6 months from initial use. The Transmitter is reusable for six months. The transmission distance is at least 12 feet.

## VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES
There are several other alternatives for the control of diabetes. Control of diabetes can be achieved through a combination of methods and behaviors. Self-behaviors include healthy eating, taking medications, as appropriate, and being active. Persons with diabetes may also administer insulin by injection or by using other insulin infusion
PMA P130007: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
{5}
pumps as prescribed by his/her physician. Methods of controlling glucose levels (glycemic control) have been shown to reduce severe diabetes-related complications. Methods of monitoring glycemic control include periodic measurement of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which reflects average blood glucose levels over a three month period. Self-monitoring of blood glucose using glucose meters and test strips provides quantitative measurements of fingerstick blood glucose at a single point in time for patients and their healthcare providers to monitor the effectiveness of glycemic control and make more immediate treatment modifications.
Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages. A patient should fully discuss these alternatives with his/her physician to select the method that best meets expectations and lifestyle.
## VII. MARKETING HISTORY
The Animas Vibe System has been commercially sold outside the United States beginning in 2011 in the following countries; Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Italy, France, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
The device has not been withdrawn from marketing for any reason related to safety or effectiveness.
## VIII. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DEVICE ON HEALTH
Below is a list of the potential adverse effects (e.g., complications) associated with the use of the device.
Potential device-related non-serious events related to CGM or insulin pump use include:
- Skin irritation or redness
- Infection
- Pain or discomfort
- Bruising
- Edema
- Rash
- Bleeding
- Allergic reaction to adhesives
- Hypoglycemia from over-delivery of insulin
- Hyperglycemia and ketosis possibly leading to ketoacidosis due to pump malfunction, or problems with the cannula, needle, or insulin infusion set tubing resulting in cessation of insulin delivery
- Loss of communication between the pump and the sensor resulting in CGM values, alarms, and alerts not being available to the user
- Catheter occlusion resulting in missed insulin dosing
PMA P130007: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 6
{6}
- Catheter dislodgement or fracture during infusion set insertion resulting in injury and/or inability to administer insulin
- Failures of the infusion set or at infusion site resulting in inability to administer insulin
- Mechanical or battery failures resulting in interruptions in insulin delivery or incorrect insulin delivery
Sensor breakage with fragments retained under the skin and catheter fracture during infusion set insertion are potential procedure-related complication. Based on post-market experience with similar devices and the results observed in this clinical study, the occurrence and severity of these events do not raise major concerns.
One potential risk of combining the CGM and the pump is that the user might be more inclined to use the CGM data in an unapproved way to determine their insulin dose. Inaccurate sensor results, if used to make dosing decisions, may lead to hypo- or hyperglycemia. However, no further complications are expected due to the pump being combined with the CGM as a system beyond the potential complications of the pump or CGM alone.
Like other insulin pumps, there is an inherit risk that patients who do not use the system as instructed (nonadherence) could harm themselves. Patients should be informed that sensor interstitial glucose values should not be used to make insulin dose decisions and that all threshold alerts and alarms should be confirmed with a blood glucose measurement.
The risks of actions taken based on false positive hyperglycemic readings include inappropriate or excessive administration of insulin and failure to treat hypoglycemia. These inappropriate treatments could result in or prolong hypoglycemia and result in seizures, loss of consciousness, or death. The risks of actions taken based on false positive hypoglycemic readings include failure to administer insulin and failure to treat hyperglycemia. False positive high alerts and low alerts and alarms may increase the number of unplanned blood glucose checks; and disrupt patient activity and sleep. If the false positive rate is too high it can result in 'alarm fatigue' and patients may deactivate these alerts/alarms.
The risks of actions taken based on false negative hyperglycemic readings include failure to administer or insufficient administration of insulin and inappropriate administration of extra carbohydrate. These inappropriate treatments could prolong or induce hyperglycemia. The risks of actions taken based on false negative hypoglycemic readings include inappropriate administration of insulin or failure to administer or insufficient administration of extra carbohydrate. These inappropriate treatments could result in or prolong hypoglycemia and result in seizures, loss of consciousness, or death. False negative high alerts and low alerts and alarms will prevent the patient from having the opportunity to perform unplanned blood glucose tests and treat as instructed by their healthcare providers.
PMA P130007: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data

{7}
The CGM component is to be used only for tracking and trending glucose levels. The risk related to either an inaccurate sensor value outside of the patient’s normal range or a false alert or alarm is the risk of performing an unnecessary additional blood glucose test to confirm the erroneous sensor reading. The risk of medical harm may be mitigated through labeling which emphasizes that patients should confirm all CGM readings prior to making treatment decisions.
The risks of the device failing to alert an asymptomatic user to a high or low blood sugar is no greater than that associated with traditional blood glucose monitoring.

The testing for the System Pump and Transmitter were performed by external accredited laboratories and the Pump and Transmitter complies with the applicable standards.
RF wireless testing, including wireless co-existence, was conducted on the System. Testing indicated that the System can operate in the presence of RF interference and coexist with other wireless devices operating in the same vicinity. The communication distance of 12 ft was verified when the Dexcom G4 CGM transmitter is worn on the body within the line of sight of the Pump. Testing was also performed to confirm that the Pump RF receiver circuit including the antenna is designed to receive signals from a Dexcom transmitter in the specified frequency range.
## Insulin Compatibility and Stability
In vitro drug stability and compatibility testing performed on the pump and insulin cartridge indicates that Insulin is stable for 3 days. In-vitro stability was evaluated under worst case thermal (37°C + 2°C) and humidity (40% RH) conditions. The study observed acceptable results for assay, degradation products, impurities, leachables and extractables. All tested insulin products maintained insulin potency for the 6-day period, indicating minimal surface-induced denaturation.

The clinical testing performed in P120005 for the Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM System and the non-clinical and human factors/usability testing completed on the Animas Vibe System and its components for this PMA support the operation of this device as a system.
## B. Safety Conclusions
The risks of the device are based on nonclinical laboratory data of the Animas Vibe System (described above) as well as data collected in a clinical study conducted to support PMA approval of the Dexcom G4 Platinum CGM System as described in the SSED for P120005.
Potential device-related non-serious events related to CGM or insulin pump use include:
{17}
- Skin irritation or redness
- Infection
- Pain or discomfort
- Bruising
- Edema
- Rash
- Bleeding
- Allergic reaction to adhesives
- Hypoglycemia from over-delivery of insulin
- Hyperglycemia and ketosis possibly leading to ketoacidosis due to pump malfunction, or problems with the cannula, needle, or insulin infusion set tubing resulting in cessation of insulin delivery
- Loss of communication between the pump and the sensor resulting in CGM values not being available to the user
- Catheter occlusion
- Catheter dislodgement or fracture during infusion set insertion
- Failures of the infusion set or at infusion site
- Mechanical or battery failures resulting in interruptions in insulin delivery or incorrect insulin delivery
Sensor breakage with fragments retained under the skin and catheter fracture during infusion set insertion are potential procedure-related complication. Based on post-market experience with similar devices and the results observed in this clinical study, the occurrence and severity of these events do not raise major concerns.
One potential risk of combining the CGM and the pump is that the user might be more inclined to use the CGM data in an unapproved way to determine their insulin dose. Inaccurate sensor results, if used to make dosing decisions, may lead to hypo or hyperglycemia as the CGM sensor has not been approved to be used to dose insulin. However, no further complications are expected due to the pump being combined with the CGM as a system beyond the potential complications of the pump or CGM alone.
Like other insulin pumps, there is an inherit risk that patients who do not use the system as instructed (nonadherence) could harm themselves. Patients should be informed that sensor interstitial glucose values should not be used to make insulin dose decisions and that all threshold alerts and alarms should be confirmed with a blood glucose measurement.
A pump malfunction could lead to clinically significant hypoglycemic event, ketosis or ketoacidosis. A patient should respond with carbohydrate, insulin therapy, hydration, or other medical assistance as necessary. If unaddressed, severe hypoglycemia, severe hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis can result in serious harm and death.

The risks of actions taken based on false positive hyperglycemic readings include inappropriate or excessive administration of insulin and failure to treat hypoglycemia. These inappropriate treatments could result in or prolong hypoglycemia and result in seizures, loss of consciousness, or death. The risks of actions taken based on false positive hypoglycemic readings include failure to administer insulin and failure to treat hyperglycemia. False positive high alerts and low alerts and alarms may increase the number of unplanned blood glucose checks; and disrupt patient activity and sleep. If the false positive rate is too high it can result in 'alarm fatigue' and patients may deactivate these alerts/alarms.
The risks of actions taken based on false negative hyperglycemic readings include failure to administer or insufficient administration of insulin and inappropriate administration of extra carbohydrate. These inappropriate treatments could prolong or induce hyperglycemia. The risks of actions taken based on false negative hypoglycemic readings include inappropriate administration of insulin or failure to administer or insufficient administration of extra carbohydrate. These inappropriate treatments could result in or prolong hypoglycemia and result in seizures, loss of consciousness, or death. False negative high alerts and low alerts and alarms will prevent the patient from having the opportunity to perform unplanned blood glucose tests and treat as instructed by their healthcare providers.
The CGM component is to be used only for tracking and trending glucose levels. The risk related to either an inaccurate sensor value outside of the patient's normal range or a false alert or alarm is the risk of performing an unnecessary additional blood glucose test to confirm the erroneous sensor reading. The risk of medical harm may be mitigated through labeling which emphasizes that patients should confirm all CGM readings prior to making treatment decisions.
## C. Benefit-Risk Conclusions
The probable benefits of the device are based on data collected in clinical and non-clinical studies conducted to support PMA approval as described above and in P120005.
Additional factors to be considered in determining probable risks and benefits for the Animas Vibe System included the following.
The CGM component of this system is intended to supplement self-monitoring of blood glucose to track and trend interstitial glucose levels as estimates of glucose excursions in the blood. The system provides continuous measurements of glucose in the tissue every 5 minutes for up to seven days for each sensor. Glucose trends and the hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia alerts are intended to warn patients that they need to test their blood sugar to see if they need to take action to treat or prevent a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event. Other benefits of the CGM component include the following:
PMA P130007: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 19
{19}
- Provide information regarding patterns of glycemic excursions throughout the day and night when patients may be unable to test their blood glucose
- Aids in the detection of episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia (which may facilitate both acute and long-term therapy adjustments that may minimize episodes of hyper and hypoglycemia)
The insulin pump component of the system is indicated for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for the management of insulin-requiring diabetes. The pump is intended to assist patients in the management of their diabetes by allowing for various basal and bolus delivery settings. Other benefits of the pump component include the following:
- Ability to administer insulin frequently without repeated injection
- Ability to set different basal rates through the day to better match basal insulin requirements which may fluctuate during the course of the day
- Ability to calculate active insulin remaining from previous boluses to avoid "insulin stacking", which can lead to hypoglycemia
- Ability to administer bolus doses over an extended time
- Ability for patient to calculate appropriate bolus insulin doses based on their individual needs
The functions of the sensor augmented pump are not feasible using traditional blood glucose monitoring and insulin self-injections as blood glucose meters only provide information about discrete, intermittent blood glucose levels and therefore are unable to provide information regarding patterns of glycemic excursions throughout the day and night when patients may be unable to test their blood glucose.
Other benefits of the system include the following:
- Single user interface
- Convenience to user – one less device to carry
Risks of the CGM and sensor:
- Sensor error resulting in incorrect glucose readings
- Missed alerts and false negative hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic readings related to patients not being alerted to the need to perform a fingerstick to detect hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia
- False positive hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic readings or alerts leading to unnecessary fingersticks to evaluate their blood glucose.
- Skin irritation, or redness, inflammation, pain or discomfort, bruising, edema, rash, bleeding, infection, or allergic reaction due to either the sensor needle or the adhesive
- Sensor breakage leaving a sensor fragment under the skin
Risks of the pump include the following:
- Hypoglycemia from over-delivery of insulin due to a pump defect
PMA P130007: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Page 20
{20}
- Hyperglycemia and ketosis possibly leading to ketoacidosis due to inappropriate pump failure or problems with the cannula, needle, or insulin infusion set tubing, resulting in cessation of or decreased insulin delivery
- Catheter dislodgement or fracture during infusion set insertion resulting in injury and/or inability to administer insulin
- Mechanical or battery failures resulting in interruptions in insulin delivery or incorrect insulin delivery
- Catheter occlusion resulting in missed insulin dosing
- Skin irritation, or redness, inflammation, pain or discomfort, bruising, edema, rash, bleeding, infection, or allergic reaction at the infusion site
- Failure of the infusion set or at the infusion site resulting in inability to administer insulin
Risks of the system include the following:
- Loss of communication between the pump and the sensor resulting in CGM values not being available to the user
- Use of inaccurate sensor values to make dosing decisions, resulting in an incorrect dose of insulin being delivered leading to hypo or hyperglycemia and their subsequent complications
These risks are similar to the risks associated with the separate components.
The previously approved CGM (P120005) has been integrated with the insulin pump so the information (results, alerts, alarms, etc.) for the pump and the CGM are displayed on the pump screen.
The benefits of the Animas Vibe System include the benefits of each of the pump and the CGM, and the additional benefits of a single user interface and the convenience to the user of not having to carry both a pump and the CGM receiver. There are no benefits lost through integration of the two devices into a single system. The risks of the Animas Vibe System include the risks of the pump and the CGM as well as the potential for loss of communication between the pump and the CGM and the use of inaccurate sensor values to make dosing decisions. These additional risks are similar to risks associated with the CGM, where communication between the sensor and receiver may be lost and users may use inaccurate sensor values to make dosing decisions. For risks associated with the System (including pump and CGM specific risks), risk mitigations include design, labeling, and patient training. The benefits of the CGM outweigh its risks and the benefits of the pump outweigh its risks. Similarly, for the Animas Vibe System, the benefits of the combined system outweigh the risks.
In conclusion, given the available information above, the data support that for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for the management of insulin-requiring diabetes and for detecting trends and tracking patterns in glucose levels, the probable benefits outweigh the probable risks.
