Sanofi US announced today that the iBGStar Blood Glucose Monitoring System, consisting of the iBGStar blood glucose meter and iBGStar Diabetes Manager App, is commercially available in the U.S. iBGStar is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared blood glucose meter that directly connects to the iPhone and iPod touch, offering accurate blood glucose monitoring that seamlessly integrates into the lives of people with diabetes.
Commenting on the Group’s outlook, Sanofi CEO Christopher A. Viehbacher said: “Sanofi has undergone an impressive transformation over the last two and a half years and the patent cliff is now almost behind us. While 2012 will be impacted by the loss of exclusivity of Plavix® and Avapro® in the U.S., Sanofi is set to embark upon a period of consistent and sustainable growth.
