INTEGRATED INSULIN DELIVERY SYSTEM HAVING SAFETY FEATURES TO PREVENT HYPOGLYCEMIA

Systems for the delivery of insulin to a patient, the system comprising: a continuous glucose sensor configured to provide a glucose level signal representative of sensed glucose; an insulin delivery device configured to deliver insulin in response to delivery control signals at a basal rate and as a bolus; and a controller programmed to receive the sensor glucose level signal and to provide a delivery control signal to an insulin delivery device to suspend a basal delivery rate during the provision of a bolus delivery and to automatically resume a preprogrammed basal delivery rate after a selected event.

SIMPLE CODE READER

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide code readers for reading codes provided as patterns imprinted on objects. Light interacts with a pattern by e.g. being reflected from or transmitted through the pattern, and at least some of the light that has interacted with the pattern is incident on photosensitive element(s) of one or more photodetectors of a code reader. The code reader employs centroid-measuring photodetector(s), i.e. photodetectors that detect light in such a manner that centroid of a pattern can be obtained directly from the photocurrents generated as a result of the photosensitive elements detecting light incident thereon. The code reader is then configured to process the detected light to determine a centroid of the pattern from the detected light and to decode data encoded in the pattern based on a position of the centroid. Such code readers are substantially less complex than camera-based devices and avoid mechanical scanning.

Displays for a medical device
11241175 · 2022-02-08 · ·

Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

CONTINUOUS ANALYTE SENSOR
20170238856 · 2017-08-24 ·

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a continuous analyte sensor that can be used to measure glucose or lactate levels in a patient, along with other analytes. In some embodiments, the sensor can be located in the tissue or a blood vessel of a patient, and a probe can be located on the skin of the patient generally adjacent to the sensor. The probe can detect luminescent signals that originate from the sensor and that are dependent on analyte levels.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF HAEMOGLOBIN AND ITS COMPLEXES
