Summary
Cequr Simplicity is a thin and simple insulin delivery patch for mealtime and correction insulin. The 3-day wearable patch doses two units of insulin with every squeeze of the buttons on either side of the device. Users can fill their CeQur Simplicity patch with 100-200 units of rapid-acting insulin. This device is a hybrid between injections and an insulin pump to allow for discreet dosing without the need for programming or multiple injections.
FDA-approved for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in people 21 years of age and older.
This is a CGM sensor made by Abbott, exclusively designed for MiniMed 780G system. It will work with MiniMed 780G and related systems. Wear time is up to 15 days, and warm-up is ~1 hour. Fingersticks are not required in closed-loop mode.
FDA approved for ages 7+ for use on the upper arm (back of upper arm)

Components
CeQur Simplicity Patch : Patch
Wearable insulin patches come with reservoirs and directions for application. They can be applied on the abdomen.
CeQur Simplicity Patch : Reservoir
Fill reservoir is enclosed with the Patch and used to manually fill the Patch with insulin.
CeQur Simplicity Patch : Applicator
Patch uses a thin, flexible cannula inserted just under the skin to deliver insulin. Push-button applicator allows patch to be placed on the body in one step.
Abbott/Medtronic Instinct Sensor : Sensor
Sensor uses a thin, flexible filament beneath the skin to continuously measure glucose every 5 minutes. Simple, one-step applicator makes insertion fast and easy.

Patient Considerations
Active Lifestyle
Limited Adjustability. No way to adjust long-acting insulin for higher activity on the fly, but the device is water resistant.
Long wear & water resistant. Longer wear reduces change burden; sensor design aims for robustness with movement. Water-resistant up to 3 feet (1 m) for 30 minutes (same standard as FreeStyle Libre family).
Avoiding Highs and Lows
Limited customizability. System requires manual dose adjustment and limits the ability to adjust insulin levels throughout the day. If you need basal (background) insulin, you’ll still need to take it in addition to wearing the CeQur Simplicity.
Continuous closed-loop insulin adjustment helps maintain tighter control.
Comfort
Free of tubing. Patches do not have tubing and they're less bulky than traditional insulin pumps but it must be worn in areas that are easy to reach for insulin dosing.
Small & Discreet. Very small, discreet form factor, and minimal bulk.
Easy Insulin Dosing
Easy to Use. Squeezing the buttons on either side of the device delivers insulin in two-unit increments for dosing insulin for meals and correction.
MiniMed 780G closed-loop algorithm: adjusts basal and delivers automatic correction boluses using sensor data. Longer wear (15 days) means fewer interruptions in automated dosing. In manual mode, it still requires fingerstick confirmation before dosing from sensor values.
Easy to Use
Simple with few steps. Patch is replaced every 3 days with insulin administered at the click of a button.
Longer sensor life and shorter warm-up (~1 hour) help with convenience.
Fewer Fingersticks
Frequent finger-sticks are required.
Factory-calibrated sensor. Finger sticks needed for backup only.
Privacy
Hideable. Thinnest and lightest patch pump that's not as noticeable as injections.
Small & Customizable. Extremely small (about the size of two stacked pennies), designed to be less noticeable under clothing. Upper arm site only; discreet but still visible with sleeveless clothing. Alerts can be customized on the connected pump for quieter use.
