The OneTouch Ping

Animas® 2020 Insulin Pump

The OneTouch® Ping is a glucose management system that includes an insulin pump and a glucose meter-remote. The two devices communicate wirelessly with each other. Users can calculate insulin doses and wirelessly deliver boluses without touching the pump. Like other Animas pumps, all pump functions can be done manually on the pump. The pump functions can be used wirelessly or manually.

OneTouch Ping is a collaborative effort between two of the companies in Johnson & Johnson’s Diabetes Care Group: Animas, which manufactures insulin pumps, and LifeScan makes the OneTouch brand of glucose meters and test strips.
