Modular Medical Pivot patch pump
Modular Medical
An FDA-cleared removable, two-part tubeless insulin patch pump aimed at adults who want a simpler, lower-friction pump. It has a 3 mL reservoir, smartphone connectivity and a quick bolus button, but no commercial AID integration yet.
The scorecard
FDA clearance covers insulin delivery; no CGM or AID interoperability is established yet.[1]
FDA 510(k) clearance supports core delivery safety, but real-world reliability data are not yet published.[1]
Tubeless removable patch design with two-part wear, a 3 mL reservoir and no tubing is a strong form-factor improvement for many MDI users.[2]
Pivot includes smartphone connectivity for bolus and monitoring plus an on-device quick bolus button.[2]
FDA-cleared in 2026, but early deployment/commercial launch is still ramping and coverage is unknown.[2]
The full picture
Pivot is not trying to be the fanciest pump. Its stated target is the “almost-pumper”: adults who rely on injections because traditional pumps feel complex, expensive or cumbersome. The interesting design choices are simplicity, removability, 300-unit capacity and controller-light bolusing. The limitation is just as important: it is an insulin pump, not yet a closed-loop ecosystem.
