Technology should simplify life, not complicate it. You go your own way and can maintain a flexible lifestyle with the Wellion MICRO-PUMP insulin pump. To that end, the Wellion MICRO-PUMP has been designed to be easy to learn and use. For lower insulin needs or higher needs, you can fine-tune the pump’s delivery in the situation. Building on the recommendations of your healthcare team, you can perfectly adapt the insulin to your daily routine and activities. There is no longer a need to tailor your life to a rigid insulin and eating regimen.
FREEDOM
- the pump is very small, light and discreet
- eat and sleep – when and how much is good for you
- decide spontaneously on your activities and the pump adapts to them
- choose your clothing according to your mood – with the flat, tubeless Wellion MICRO-PUMP this is possible
- as the pump, the infusion set and the reservoir form one unit and do not need a tube, you have full freedom of movement at all times
- the blood glucose meter is integrated directly into the PDA, so you always have it with you
QUALITY OF LIFE
- the Wellion MICRO-PUMP is small, discreet and unobtrusive in use
- the pump can deliver insulin continuously for up to 3 days – so the pump adapts to your daily routine (not vice versa)
- the PDA allows you to deliver a bolus silently, measure blood glucose, control the pump and view all parameters at any time
- the Wellion MICRO-PUMP is splash-proof
SUSTAINABILITY
- the battery of the Wellion MICRO-PUMP and the PDA are rechargeable (a second battery for your pump is included in the starter kit)
- to save resources, only the infusion set and reservoir need to be changed about every 3 days
- the pump itself is durable and will be used again and again, replace the reservoir only when it is empty (no insulin loss)
- remove the pump from the base for water sports with a simple click (no need to throw away the pump with the residual insulin inside)
The Wellion MICRO-PUMP tubeless insulin pump is small, very light and can deliver insulin continuously for up to 3 days (only then do you need to change the reservoir and infusion set).
Use a tubeless insulin pump if you want to live life to the fullest and have more freedom to move, sleep, play or exercise. The minimum basal rate allows individual “fine tuning” of insulin delivery.
Matching consumables:
- Wellion MICRO Blood glucose test strips
- Wellion MICRO-PUMP Infusion set
- Wellion MICRO-PUMP Reservoir
Enjoy full freedom of movement, without restrictions in your choice of clothes or during sports, as the Wellion MICRO-PUMP does not require a tube for the infusion set. You can conveniently set the bolus, basal rate and other functions via the PDA (Portable Diabetes Assistant) without having to take the pump to hand. The Wellion MICRO-PUMP can be worn on different parts of the body (e.g. abdomen, upper arm, thigh, lower back).
Measure your blood glucose directly on the PDA with the Wellion MICRO blood glucose test strips, which can optionally be stored with a marker (before/after physical activity, before/after eating). Whether measured in an integrated way or entered manually, your stored blood glucose values can be further used with the bolus calculator. And with the eject button on the back of the PDA, used test strips can be conveniently disposed of.
The pump PDA includes a powerful bolus calculator that can suggest a bolus amount based on your input. Once the settings are configured, the bolus calculator can suggest a bolus amount after you test your blood glucose level and enter the amount of carbohydrates you will eat. The bolus calculator can also take into account the amount of insulin that is currently active in your body and will correct the suggested bolus amount.
(The bolus calculator takes into account the following information: current blood glucose level, target blood glucose level, carbohydrate ratio, carbohydrate intake, insulin sensitivity factor, negative correction, active insulin time. Discuss these factors with your healthcare team).

The Wellion MICRO-PUMP can be worn on different parts of the body (e.g. abdomen, upper arm, thigh, lower back).
An extended bolus with an immediately available portion is a bolus that is administered in two stages – an amount immediately and the rest over a longer period of time. Optimal e.g. for meals with quickly and slowly absorbed carbohydrates such as fast food.
The pump offers an option to quickly set up 7 individual basal profiles. By entering the total daily basal insulin and selecting a period of 6 or 24 hours, the PDA can automatically create a basal profile. This way the pump adapts to your life. Set up different profiles in advance, e.g. for illness, seated activities such as a day at the computer, a day with a lot of exercise such as walking/cycling, or other typical situations in your everyday life.
Quick bolus
If you forget your PDA or don’t want to take it out of your pocket, you can conveniently deliver a rapid bolus – directly by pressing a button on the pump with audible feedback for safe insulin delivery. Alternatively, the rapid bolus can be delivered silently via the PDA.
Accurate dosing
You can set the bolus and basal rate in small increments (starting at 0.025 U).
Always informed
The system uses sound, light and vibration alarms to inform you of important events affecting the pump. In addition, you can read all the information on the PDA display.
Notes:
- The Wellion MICRO-PUMP must be removed during X-ray, CT and MRI examinations.
- It is not possible to go through an airport body scan with the Wellion MICRO-PUMP. The pump must be removed.

Advantages of insulin pump therapy
The best blood glucose control can be expected when insulin is delivered to the body as needed by the organism. As many studies and meta-analyses have shown, insulin pump therapy can more effectively address the many aspects of blood glucose control compared to multiple injection therapy. When compared with all other insulin therapies, insulin pump therapy corresponds best to the natural conditions of the organism!
Basis of pump therapy (CSII)
Short-acting insulin is continuously delivered into the subcutaneous (under the skin) fat tissue:
- Non-meal-dependent insulin is delivered automatically via the basal rate
- Meal-dependent insulin is delivered as a bolus at the touch of a button
- Elevated blood glucose: a correction bolus is delivered at the touch of a button
The basal rate is adjusted to the individual needs of the pump user.
Be ahead in lowering the HbA1c
People with pump therapy achieved significantly lower HbA1c levels than people who applied insulin with a syringe or pen.
Number of severe hypoglycaemias decreases
Frequency of severe hypoglycaemia is significantly reduced
Less blood sugar fluctuations
Blood glucose fluctuations were significantly lower in people using pump therapy compared to people using insulin injections or pens.
Generally better control of blood glucose levels
Blood glucose control was generally better with pump therapy. The improved glycaemic control was achieved with a simultaneous reduction in the daily insulin dose. In a direct comparison of insulin aspart in the pump or administered by syringe or pen, mean serum fructosamine levels were significantly lower in the pump group.
Summary: the most important advantages of insulin pump therapy
- People on pump therapy achieve near-normal blood glucose regulation, with fewer blood glucose fluctuations and without an increased risk of hypoglycaemia.
- The risk of late diabetic complications is reduced. Incipient complications can even go into remission.
- In the long term, pump therapy offers an improvement in quality of life, as pump users go on sick leave less often and have to go to hospital less often compared to other people with diabetes.
Pump therapy allows people with diabetes full flexibility in everyday life. Pump users do not have to expect negative consequences if they
- skipping meals,
- sleeping late,
- exercise or travel to a place with a different time zone.
All age groups can benefit from pump therapy.
