Insulet Announces Global Agreement With LifeScan, Inc to Integrate Their OneTouch Blood Glucose Monitoring Technologies Into the OmniPod(R) Insulin Pump

OneTouch(R) Technology to Be Integrated With Future Version of the OmniPod Tubeless Insulin Pump's Personal Diabetes Manager


BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 15, 2012) - Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its OmniPod® Insulin Management System, today announced it has signed a worldwide agreement with LifeScan, Inc. to integrate LifeScan's OneTouch® blood glucose monitoring technology into the OmniPod Personal Diabetes Manager ("PDM").

"The easy to use, tubeless OmniPod is the most innovative technology available in the insulin pump market, so we are thrilled to integrate with LifeScan's market leading OneTouch® blood glucose monitoring technologies," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "Our team has commenced development efforts on a new PDM which we expect to be commercialized in 2013. The new integrated PDM will work with the next generation OmniPod, which is currently awaiting 510(k) clearance."

Under the terms of the worldwide agreement, LifeScan will provide its glucose monitoring technology to Insulet who will be responsible for the development, design and approval of the integrated device. The initial term of the agreement will run into 2017 and is non-exclusive. Insulet, however, maintains an exclusivity option to be declared, at its discretion, upon commercialization of the integrated PDM. This option would make LifeScan the exclusive blood glucose monitoring technology integrated into the OmniPod PDM and provide additional compensation to Insulet.
