In vitro Stability of Biosimilar Insulin Aspart SAR341402 in the Medtronic MiniMed Insulin Pumps.

SAR341402 (Insulin aspart Sanofi®) is an insulin aspart biosimilar that can be used for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in pump systems. The physicochemical stability of SAR341402 for CSII use was evaluated in several in vitro experiments. Insulin aspart products (SAR341402, NovoLog®, NovoRapid®) were filled into pump reservoirs and pumped through Medtronic insulin pumps (MiniMed 530G-Model 751, Medtronic, Northridge, CA) and their related infusion sets under simulated stress conditions, including elevated temperature and mechanical agitation on a continuously vibrating platform, up to 13 days.
