The invention relates to systems and methods for making intracycle adjustments to an osmotic agent concentration of peritoneal dialysate inside the peritoneal cavity of a patient. The systems and methods include osmotic agent sources, flow paths, and processors to adjust the osmotic agent concentration of dialysate in the peritoneal cavity of the patient. The method can include infusing peritoneal dialysate containing an osmotic agent into the peritoneal cavity of a patient; monitoring one or more patient parameters; and adjusting the osmotic agent concentration of the peritoneal dialysate in the peritoneal cavity of the patient by infusing a concentrated osmotic agent solution or by infusing sterile fluid into the peritoneal cavity of the patient using an on-line peritoneal dialysis machine. The system can include a peritoneal dialysis cycler.

The present invention relates to a dialysis machine, in particular to a peritoneal dialysis machine, having a device for preparing dialysis solution, wherein the device has an RO system equipped with a filter for the provision of RO water and has a mixing device that is configured to mix a dialysis concentrate with the RO water or with a solution containing RO water; wherein a control device is provided that is configured to operate the RO system continuously; and wherein a storage container is provided that is connected downstream of the RO system and that is configured to store the water generated in the RO system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to miniature insulin patch pump, assistance devices (e.g., for reservoir filling and/or cannula insertion), and methods related thereto. For example, in some embodiments, a substance/drug-delivery patch pump is provided and includes a reusable part (RP) including a power source, a driving mechanism, and an electronic module, and a disposable part (DP), where the disposable part can include at least a plurality of an adhesive base, a reservoir, a dosing mechanism, and a cannula.

Exemplary embodiments may determine anticipated basal insulin delivery action to a user from an insulin delivery device over a future time window. Indications of the anticipated basal insulin delivery action over the future time window may be output to the user. The exemplary embodiments may determine the anticipated basal insulin delivery action over the future time window based on a rate of change (ROC) of glucose level of the user by the insulin delivery device, a most recent (current) glucose level for the user and insulin on board (IOB) for the user. The exemplary embodiments may also determine whether the user is likely to experience a undesired high glucose level (e.g., hyperglycemia) and/or an undesired low glucose level (e.g., hypoglycemia) during the future time window. The exemplary embodiments may output recommendations based on the projected glucose levels of the user over the future time window.

A system and kit for assisting a subject in administering an injectable drug by use of an injection device having communication means to communicate data at least about sizes of doses expelled and a timestamp for when each dose was expelled. The system comprises a communication unit (210) adapted to communicate with the injection pen (100) to receive said dose data and comprising a display to present information and instructions to the subject. The system has a processor unit (220) comprising one or more processors and a memory storing a dose size calculation program adapted calculate a recommended dose size of drug to be injected. Responsive to a request to calculate a recommended dose size, the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, performs the initial step of prompting the user to perform a priming of the injection device before a calculation of a recommended dose size can be carried out.

A system for treating hypoglycemia includes a continuous blood glucose monitor that monitors blood glucose levels of a patient on a continuous basis over a period of time. An alarm and injector apparatus is configured to be worn by the patient and includes a glucagon delivery mechanism for automatically delivering glucagon to the patient if a hypoglycemic condition is detected using the continuous blood glucose monitor.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling physiological glucose concentrations in a patient using a closed loop artificial pancreas. The systems and methods may utilize a controller with control logic operative to execute a multi-model predictive controller algorithm to determine a medication dose to the patient.

Some embodiments a glucagon administration system can provide a suggested glucagon dosage based on one or more particular parameters (e.g., the user's recent blood glucose characteristics, a glucagon sensitivity value of the user, and other parameters). In some circumstances, the glucagon administration system can receive information indicative of the user's blood glucose level and suggest a glucagon dosage that is at least partially dependent upon a previously stored glucagon sensitivity for the user.
