A fluid delivery device comprises a fluid reservoir for containing medicament. The fluid reservoir is sealed proximate one end with a sliding seal piston. A delivery path is configured to fluidly couple the fluid reservoir and a patient wearing the fluid delivery device. A basal engine mechanism is configured to directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir at a controlled basal rate. A bolus mechanism configured to move the basal engine relative to the fluid reservoir and directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir a discrete bolus amount at a time.

A medical device controller operating in conjunction with a medical device determines one or more current versions of executable code associated with one or more processors in a medical device. Medical devices may include infusion pumps, other patient treatment devices as well as vital signs monitors. The medical device controller determines one or more current versions of executable code and configuration information associated with the one or more processors in the medical device. The medical device controller further determines which of the processors in the medical device require updated executable code, and which of the processors in the medical device require updated configuration information. The medical device controller distributes to the medical device as required at least one of the updated executable code and the updated configuration information. The medical device deploys the distributed updates, and activates the updates at a clinically appropriate time.

A drug delivery and monitoring device comprising a nerve stimulating element configured to deliver an electric stimulus, a recording element configured to detect a compound action potential, and a drug-delivery element.

Systems and methods are provided for signaling a condition of an infusion assembly. A system may comprise an elastomeric pump that includes a chamber for receipt of a volume of fluid, an outer layer configured to expand and contract as the chamber receives and dispenses fluid, and a passive indicator provided on the outer layer for signaling a change in the volume of fluid in the chamber. The system further may comprise an image capture device configured to capture an image of the pump, and a processing system configured to process the image to signal the condition of the infusion assembly to a user of the system. A method may comprise capturing an image of a pump; processing the image; and displaying information to a user of the pump to communicate the condition of the pump to the user. Elastomeric pumps for infusion assemblies also are provided.

The present invention relates to a medical fluid injector. In particular, by including a bolus counter that provides the correct number of bolus injections, it is possible to prevent the problem of excessive administration of a medical fluid due to frequent bolus injections through the management of the number of bolus injections, and increase effectiveness of treatment through the establishment of a treatment strategy based on the number of bolus injections provided.

A method for tracking dose pattern and patient response may include determining, based at least on one or more dose events at a pump configured to deliver a medication to a patient, a dose pattern for delivering the medication to the patient. One or more vital signs associated with the patient may be received from a patient monitor. A presence of one or more anomalies may be determined based at least on the dose pattern at the pump and the one or more vital signs of the patient. An electronic alert may be sent to a mobile device in response to determining the presence of the one or more anomalies. Related methods and articles of manufacture, including apparatuses and computer program products, are also disclosed.

A system may include an input device configured to receive a signal indicative of elevated glucose in a patient, and an electrical stimulator configured to electrically stimulate at least one skeletal muscle. The system may further include a controller operably connected to the electrical stimulator. The controller may be configured for delivering a glucose therapy in response to the signal by controlling the electrical stimulator. The system may be configured to deliver the therapy in combination with other glucose therapies, and the therapy may be titrated based on a sensed parameter or patient feedback.

Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to control dispensation of medicine according to a closed-loop delivery mode that is responsive to feedback information provided from a monitoring device, and the infusion pump system permits a user to interrupt the closed-loop delivery mode for purposes of dispensing a user-selected manual bolus dosage.
