Asante Solutions, Inc. Receives CE Mark for Pearlâ„¢ Insulin Pump

April 12, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Asante
Solutions, Inc. (Asante), a medical device company focused on
diabetes care, today announced it received the CE mark for its
Pearl Insulin Pump, the only insulin pump that uses a pre-filled
insulin cartridge. The CE mark is a European proof of conformity

pumps,” said Dr. Anthony D. Andre, Ph.D., CPE, founder of Interface
Analysis Associates and current president of the Human Factors and
Ergonomics Society, who has performed a number of studies on
