Valeritas Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for the V-Goâ„¢ Disposable Insulin Delivery Device

December 8, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ —
Valeritas, Inc., a medical technology company committed to
the development and commercialization of innovative drug delivery
solutions, announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration
has cleared the company’s V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device
for the continuous subcutaneous delivery of insulin in preset basal
rates and with on-demand bolus dosing for adult patients requiring
insulin.  V-Go devices will be available in a preset basal
rate to deliver 20, 30 or 40 Units of insulin in one 24-hour period
(0.83 U/hr, 1.25U/hr or 1.67U/hr respectively) and on-demand bolus
dosing in 2 Unit increments (up to 36 Units per one 24-hour time
period).

“The V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device is the first fully
disposable, non-electronic basal-bolus device that is specifically
designed with the Type 2 population in mind,” said Valeritas CEO
Kristine Peterson.  “We believe that the simple user features
of the V-Go will allow more patients with diabetes to adhere to
their insulin regimen, which ultimately may lead to better
control.”

“The addition of the V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device as
an insulin delivery option for the Type 2 diabetic population is a
great step forward in patient care. The more options these patients
have the better,” said Nancy Bohannon, MD, an endocrinologist from
San Francisco, CA. “The V-Go provides a simple way to deliver
basal-bolus insulin therapy, which I believe will increase patient
compliance and improve glucose control in a very cost-effective
manner compared to more traditional insulin delivery devices.”

Valeritas plans to commercialize the V-Go in the United States
in 2011.
