A Prospective, Randomized, Parallel Crossover Study Demonstrating Subject Wearability and Usability of the I-Port Injection Port

Exclusion Criteria

• •History of known hypersensitivity to plastics or polymers
• •Treatment with any investigational drug within two (2) months prior to enrollment or during this study

• •Myocardial infarction or stroke within the preceding six (6)months
• •Positive hepatitis B (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis C (Hep C AB)serology and/or positive HIV serology
• •History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic (as evidenced by ALT or AST \>3 times the upper limit of normal), gastrointestinal, neurological or infectious disorders capable of altering the absorption, metabolism or elimination of drugs, or constituting a significant risk factor when using the study device
