Deltec Cozmo
Deltec Cozmo
Deltec Cozmo (pronunciation: /dɛltɛk kɒzmoʊ/) is a type of insulin pump that was manufactured by Smiths Medical, a global provider of medical devices. The Deltec Cozmo was designed to assist individuals with diabetes in managing their insulin levels.
Etymology
The name "Deltec Cozmo" is a combination of the manufacturer's name, "Deltec," and "Cozmo," which is likely a stylized spelling of "cosmo," a term derived from the Greek word "kosmos" meaning "order" or "world." The name may reflect the device's aim to bring order to the world of those managing diabetes.
Function
The Deltec Cozmo insulin pump was designed to deliver a continuous supply of insulin to the user. The device could be programmed to deliver different amounts of insulin at different times of the day, depending on the user's needs. This feature, known as basal rate, could be adjusted to match the user's lifestyle and activity level.
In addition to the basal rate, the Deltec Cozmo also had a bolus function. This allowed the user to deliver a larger dose of insulin to counteract the rise in blood sugar levels that occurs after eating.
