A four-year-old Australian boy has been fitted with an artificial pancreas in what scientists said was a world first treatment for managing type 1 diabetes.

The device was researched and tested through clinical trials run by specialists at Australia’s Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in a network of hospitals across the country, and can help patients manage Type 1 diabetes. The boy was diagnosed with diabetes at 22 months.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration released guidelines for getting approval for artificial pancreas device systems in November 2012, including guidance for testing of the device’s software, user interface and requirements for clinical studies.
