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.

Medical devices, systems and methods are provided. One method involves obtaining fabrication process measurement data for a plurality of instances of a sensing element, obtaining reference output measurement data from the plurality of instances in response to a reference stimulus, determining a predictive model for a measurement output of the sensing element as a function of fabrication process measurement variables based on the relationship between the fabrication process measurement data and the reference output measurement data, generating a simulated output measurement distribution across a range of the fabrication process measurement variables using the predictive model, identifying performance thresholds for the measurement output based on the simulated output measurement distribution, obtaining output measurement data from the instance of the sensing element in response to the reference stimulus, and verifying the output measurement data satisfies the performance threshold prior to calibrating a subsequent instance of the sensing element.

A system and method provides closed-loop sedation, anesthesia, or analgesia by monitoring EEG and automatically adjusting the delivery of sedative, anesthetic, and/or analgesic drugs to maintain that desired level of cortical activity for transportation or evacuation of the injured, and for closed-loop anesthesia during surgical care, and at all echelons of care.

A low-cost medical pump for ambulatory use provides an improved IV line cartridge attachment allowing for single handed, low force release while preventing inadvertent IV line cartridge release. A rotatable side lever minimizes the force required to move the locking elements against a spring biased force urging the locking elements to a locking position.

Various exemplary liquid drug pumps with a flexible drug reservoir are provided. In general, a pump includes a flexible reservoir configured to contain a liquid drug therein for delivery to a patient wearing the pump. The reservoir is configured to be filled with the drug from a drug storage container, which can either be external to the pump or disposed within the pump.

Devices, systems, and techniques for controlling delivery of therapy for diabetes are described. In one example, a system includes a wearable device configured to generate user activity data associated with an arm of a user; and one or more processors configured to: identify at least one gesture indicative of utilization of an injection device for preparation of an insulin injection based on the user activity data; based on the at least one identified gesture, generate information indicative of at least one of an amount or type of insulin dosage in the insulin injection by the injection device; compare the generated information to a criteria of a proper insulin injection; and output information indicative of whether the criteria is satisfied based on the comparison.

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for administering a medicament to a patient. In one aspect, a system includes an injection pen device in wireless communication with a mobile communication device. The injection pen device includes a housing including a chamber to encase a cartridge containing medicine, a dose setting and dispensing mechanism to set the mechanism to dispense a particular dose of the medicine from the loaded cartridge, a sensor unit to detect a dispensed dose based on positions and/or movements of the dose setting and dispensing mechanism, and an electronics unit in communication with the sensor unit to process the detected dispensed dose and time data associated with a dispensing event and to wirelessly transmit the dose data to a user's device. The mobile communication device provides a software application to provide the user with health information using the processed dose data.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing safeguards, in an automatic drug delivery system, to prevent or compensate for insufficient delivery of bolus doses of a liquid drug. The safeguards include, for example, features built into the medication delivery algorithm to allow the medication delivery algorithm to ensure that proper bolus doses are delivered, either manually by the user or automatically by the drug delivery system. In addition, various methods are described for providing the medication delivery algorithm with a means for determining when a meal has been ingested and, in some embodiments, for providing an automatic bolus dose of the liquid drug in response to the determination.

A medical device comprising an infusion device comprising a fluid reservoir to contain a therapeutic fluid and a transcutaneous access tool fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir, the transcutaneous access tool configured to deliver the therapeutic fluid subcutaneously to a patient; wherein the infusion device operates in a stand-by mode prior to the therapeutic fluid being introduced into the fluid reservoir; wherein the infusion device operates to deploy the transcutaneous access tool within a predetermined deployment time period upon filling the fluid reservoir to a predetermined fill level with the therapeutic fluid.

Techniques related to temporary setpoint values are disclosed. The techniques may involve causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode. Additionally, the techniques may involve obtaining a second setpoint value. The second setpoint value may be a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, and the second setpoint value may be greater than the first setpoint value. The techniques may further involve causing operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.
