A contrast liquid injector has a controller that calculates a necessary volume of the contrast medium based on a read out necessary dose of effective component per unit weight, weight of the subject, and concentration of the effective component. The injection rate of a base-operation condition is changed based on the calculated necessary volume of the contrast medium, wherein the predetermined injection time is unchanged, for all volumes of the contrast medium, when making the injection pattern, whereby a timing of an optimum concentration of the contrast medium will be substantially unchanged for all volumes of the contrast medium.

A method (400) controls the delivery of insulin in a diabetic patient (P) based on data (d) representative of at least a fraction of a meal (m(k+i)) that the patient (P) will consume. The method provides from a block (R) representative of conventional therapy or open loop rule that the patient (P) is subject to, based on the data (d) representative of at least a fraction of the meal (m(k+i)), a reference insulin value (u.sub.0). The method is also based on data representative of the difference between input data (ŷ), a reference glycemic level, and feedback data (y.sup.CGM) representative of the glycemic level detected in the patient (P). A control module (301; 401) provides a value of insulin (i) to be delivered to the patient (P) based on the various representative data.

A drug delivery device may include an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is provided. The IMU may include an accelerometer, a magnetometer, or a gyroscope. Motion parameters may be detected when the drug delivery device is shipped, being prepared for activation for use, or during use. The IMU may provide data indicative of a rapid deceleration, such as when a package containing the drug delivery device is dropped, or some other physical event experienced by the drug delivery device. The drug delivery device may also include internal or external pressure sensors or a blood glucose sensor that may coordinate with the IMU to provide additional feedback regarding the status of the device or user. A controller of the drug delivery device may generate a response depending on the particular parameters being monitored or may change device operational parameters as a result of detected system events.

A bilaterally driven intelligent control infusion device, comprising: infusion unit, the infusion unit comprises a drug storage unit, a piston and a rigid screw, the piston is arranged in the drug storage unit, a metal piece arranged on the piston, fixedly connected to the rigid screw; a driving wheel, provided with wheel teeth, drives the screw movement by rotation, the screw advances the piston to move; a driving unit cooperating with the driving wheel; and a power unit, connected to the driving unit, outputs forces in two different directions on the driving unit to lead driving unit to pivot; a position detector, interacted with the metal piece to generate signal; a program unit, connected to the infusion unit, convert the received signal into the piston position information and can control the driving unit to operate with different infusion rate according to requirements.

Medical devices and related patient management systems and methods are provided. An exemplary system includes a medical device to obtain measurement values for a physiological condition in a body of a patient and a computing device to identify a plurality of event patterns within a plurality of monitoring periods based on the measurement values, prioritize the plurality of event patterns based on one or more prioritization criteria, filter the prioritized list of event patterns based on one or more filtering criteria, and generate a snapshot graphical user interface display. The snapshot graphical user interface display includes a graph overlay region having a graphical representation of the measurement values with respect to a time of day and an event detection region below the graph overlay region, where the event detection region includes pattern guidance displays for event patterns of the filtered prioritized list ordered according to the prioritization.

Fill stations and base stations are provided for personal pump systems. The fill stations may be opened and closed to accept a reservoir and to allow fluid to be introduced into the reservoir for use with personal pump systems. The fill stations may hold the reservoir at a tilt relative to an underlying surface and may discourage overfilling of the reservoir. The filling stations may also include viewing windows having fluid lines marked thereon for indicating volume of fluid within the reservoir.

Disclosed are systems and methods for secure and seamless set up and modification of bolus calculator parameters for a bolus calculator tool by a health care provider (HCP). In one aspect, a method for enabling HCP set up of a bolus calculator includes providing a server accessible by both an HCP and a patient; upon login by the HCP, displaying, or transmitting for display, a fillable form, the fillable form including one or more fields for entry of one or more bolus calculator parameters; receiving data from the fillable form, the data corresponding to one or more bolus calculator parameters; and upon login by the patient, transmitting data to a device associated with the patient, the transmitted data based on the received data, where the transmitted data corresponds to one or more of the bolus calculator parameters in a format suitable for entry to a bolus calculator.

Ambulatory medicament devices that provide therapy to a subject, such as blood glucose control, are disclosed. Disclosed systems and methods can implement one or more features that improve the user experience, by modifying delivery of therapy to a subject after determining that a possible occlusion exists in a medicament delivery system, monitoring the status of an ambulatory medical device and the health condition of a subject that receives therapy from the ambulatory medical device and annunciating alarm condition when necessary, selectively muting alarm annunciations while a Do Not Disturb mode is activated, implementing various power saving modes to save power, controlling operation of the device and medicament delivery based on the user gesture controls, and controlling medicament delivery based on a condition of the ambulatory medicament device.

A method of administering insulin includes receiving blood glucose measurements of a patient at a data processing device from a glucometer. Each blood glucose measurement is separated by a time interval and includes a blood glucose time associated with a time of measuring the blood glucose measurement. The method also includes receiving patient information at the data processing device and selecting a subcutaneous insulin treatment for tube-fed patients from a collection of subcutaneous insulin treatments. The selection is based on the blood glucose measurements and the patient information. The subcutaneous insulin treatment program for tube-fed patients determines recommended insulin doses based on the blood glucose times. The method also includes executing, using the data processing device, the selected subcutaneous insulin treatment.
