In addition to all the accurate assessments that this is very far from an artificial pancreas, I would like to point out that the glucose monitor being marketed by Minimed is a far cry behind even the best-in-class available from Dexcom (http://www.dexcom.com/dexcom-g4-platinum), and not near accurate enough to allow for closing the loop. Notably, a number of the farthest advanced artificial pancreas research projects are moving away from Minimed products-- for example: http://bionicpancreas.org
