Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) announced today that it kicked off the U.S. commercial launch of its Mobi insulin patch pump.

The San Diego–based company says Mobi, which is fully controllable from a mobile app, is the world’s smallest durable automated insulin delivery (AID) system. It received FDA clearance for people with diabetes ages six and up in July 2023.

Tandem said today that it began taking orders and shipping Mobi to eligible U.S. customers.

Mobi features a 200-unit insulin cartridge and an on-pump button to provide an alternative to phone control for insulin boluses. It comes in at less than half the size of the existing Tandem pump system, the t:slim X2 pump. Mobi can fit in a coin pocket, clip to clothing or go on the body with an adhesive sleeve.
