From the Guidelines
A HAIP pump is not mentioned in the provided evidence, however, based on the context of the question, it seems that the question is referring to an insulin pump, which is a device used to deliver insulin to people with diabetes. The most recent and highest quality study on insulin pumps is from 2025, which states that insulin pumps have been available in the U.S. for over 40 years and are used to deliver rapid-acting insulin throughout the day to help manage glucose levels 1. Some key points to consider when using an insulin pump include:
- Insulin pumps have modest advantages for lowering A1C levels and reducing severe hypoglycemia rates in children and adults 1
- The choice of insulin pump or multiple daily injections (MDI) should be based on individual preferences, cost, insulin type, dosing plan, and self-management capabilities 1
- Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, which can adjust insulin delivery rates based on sensor glucose values, are preferred over non-automated pumps and MDI in people with type 1 diabetes 1
- Insulin replacement plans typically consist of basal insulin, mealtime insulin, and correction insulin, and the proportion of basal to prandial insulin can vary depending on individual factors 1
- The use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) with insulin pumps can help improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemia 1
From the Research
Definition of Haip Pump
- A Haip pump, also known as a Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump, is a specialized device used to deliver chemotherapy directly to the liver through the hepatic artery 2.
- It is commonly used to treat unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM) and has been shown to be effective in managing this condition 2.
Characteristics of Haip Pump
- The Haip pump is a type of infusion pump that allows for continuous or intermittent delivery of chemotherapy to the liver 2.
- It is typically implanted surgically and can be used to deliver a variety of chemotherapeutic agents 2.
- The pump is designed to provide a high concentration of chemotherapy directly to the tumor site, while minimizing systemic side effects 2.
Comparison with Other Infusion Pumps
- Haip pumps are different from other types of infusion pumps, such as elastomeric pumps, which are used for outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) 3, 4, 5, 6.
- Elastomeric pumps are disposable, portable, and can be used for self-administered infusion therapy, whereas Haip pumps are typically implanted and require surgical removal 3, 4, 5, 6.
- Haip pumps are also different from electronic ambulatory-care infusion pumps, which are used for a wide range of infusion therapies, including continuous and intermittent infusion 4.
