A packaging assembly comprises a case configured to at least partially contain a plurality of injection devices for delivering a medicament; and a sensor arrangement comprising at least one device sensor; wherein the at least one device sensor is configured to detect one or more injection devices contained in the case, and to output a signal according to a result of the detection.
Pump device comprising a storage device for receiving a handset
A pump device (1) for administering a medical fluid to a patient (4), comprises a housing 5 (10), a pumping mechanism (12) for pumping a medical fluid through an infusion line (3) toward a patient (4), and a handset (16) for entering a control command for controlling an operation of the pumping mechanism (12). Herein, a storage device (15) is arranged on the housing (10) and comprises a receptacle (150) defining a cavity (151) therein for receiving the handset (16). In this way a pump device is provided which allows for improved comfort in particular when using the pump device in a healthcare environment, for example at the bedside of a patient.
Medical wetness sensing devices and related systems and methods
A medical wetness sensing device includes a base adapted to be disposed on a wearer of the medical wetness sensing device. The base includes a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor electrically insulated from the first electrical conductor. The first electrical conductor includes a hinge portion enabling a first portion of the first electrical conductor to deflect, at the hinge portion, relative to a second portion of the first electrical conductor. The medical wetness sensing device includes a controller electrically connected to the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor. The controller is configured to detect a presence or an absence of a medical fluid electrically connecting the first and second electrical conductors.
Injection monitoring device with delivery signature
Drug delivery systems and methods of use thereof for recording administration of a drug dose to a subject are provided. Aspects of the invention include a syringe stopper rod comprising a sensor component that is configured to detect a delivery signature, and to transmit a report comprising a drug dose completion signal to a data management component, e.g., a mobile computing device.
AUTOINJECTOR WITH DISCHARGE DETECTION
An autoinjector includes a housing, a product container, a torsion spring, a drive element, and a propulsion element. In order to discharge liquid out of the product container, the torsion spring rotates the drive element, and the rotating drive element produces a propulsive movement of the propulsion element and of a piston in the product container. A rotation sensor is configured for an alternating continuous detection of at least two rotational positions per revolution of the drive element during the discharge process, and a processor unit is configured for determining the axial position of the piston in the product container from the detected rotational positions.
ALARM FOR RESPIRATORY THERAPY SYSTEM
Disclosed is respiratory assistance apparatus comprising a flow generator configured to provide breathing gases to a patient, the breathing gases comprising supplemental oxygen provided from an oxygen source. The respiratory assistance apparatus controller is configured determine a target oxygen concentration of the breathing gases and calculate an estimated future value of the patient's blood oxygen concentration based on a difference between an initial oxygen concentration of the breathing gases and the target oxygen concentration of the breathing gases, and the patients blood oxygen concentration.
INTUBATION AID
One aspect of the invention relates to an intubation aid (10). The intubation aid (10) comprises an elongated main part (12), and the intubation aid (10) is provided with an operating device (26). The main part (12) is designed to be curved in a first region (18) of the main part (12), and the main part (12) is additionally designed to be curved in a second region (20) of the main part (12), said second region being separated from the first region (18) and being arranged adjacently to the free end (16) of the main part (12). The main part (12) additionally comprises a positioning device (24) which is designed to limit a translational displacement of a tube (46) placed on the intubation aid (10) in at least one direction. A second aspect of the invention relates to an intubation aid which can be placed on an endoscope.
Gesture-based control of diabetes therapy
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 and systems for managing a patient move
This disclosure describes systems and methods for managing a move of a patient being monitored or treated by a medical system, such as a medical ventilator. The disclosure describes a novel approach for preventing a patient from being moved from a first location to second different location that is connected to a monitoring and/or treatment system, before all of the necessary hoses have been disconnected from the patient. Further, the disclosure describes a novel approach of ensuring that all of the necessary hoses are reconnected to a patient being monitored or treated by a monitoring and/or treatment system after being moved from the first location to the second different location.
CONCENTRATOR WITH ELECTRONIC HANDHELD REMOTE DELIVERY DEVICE
A system that enables remote adjustment of oxygen flow from an oxygen source includes a gas source device fluidly coupled to a gas source, a remote delivery device with an outlet for providing gas to a user and an inlet fluidly coupled to an outlet of the gas source device, wherein the gas source device has a control system. The control system determines a current control setting of the remote delivery device based on pneumatic feedback from the remote delivery device and modifies a pressure of gas flowing from the gas source device to the remote delivery device based on the current control setting of the remote delivery device, so that a target flow volume of supply gas associated with the current control setting is delivered to the inlet.
