A system includes a flow sensor contained within a flow sensor housing, a base, and a seal. The base houses a controller that generates at least one operation modification signal, and the flow sensor is separable from and mountable onto the base. A bottom surface of the flow sensor housing includes the seal. The seal forms a liquid-tight engagement between the flow sensor housing and the base when the flow sensor is mounted onto the base.

In one aspect, a system is provided of verifying the accuracy of a plurality of serially-connected drug modules of a combinatorial drug delivery device, each of the drug modules including a drug reservoir, the system including: a machine-readable code located on each of the drug modules; application software configured to generate an activation code based on the machine-readable codes and the sequence of the machine-readable codes; a flow controller on the drug delivery device which is selectively actuatable to a use state to permit flow of drug from the drug delivery device; and, a control unit on the drug delivery device having a computing processing unit configured to compare the activation code with an authentication code, and, wherein, if the authentication code matches the activation code, the computing processing unit causes actuation of the flow controller to permit flow of the drug from the drug delivery device.

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

An automated dose-response record system including a module for housing waste-heat producing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including at least one physiologic monitor, and including a system to measure, temporally correlate and record dose and response events.

A medical device includes a first housing portion (FHP) and a second housing portion (SHP) configured to be to be movable relative to each other from a first position to operatively engage at a second position to couple at least one of a drive device and a needle-inserting device supported by one of the FHP and the SHP to a reservoir supported by the other of the FHP and the SHP. Electronic circuitry configured to detect at least one of a first magnetic interaction between a magnet and at least one of a first magnetically attractive material and a first magnet-responsive device and a second magnetic interaction between the magnet and at least one of a second magnetically attractive material and a second magnet-responsive device, and to provide a signal or a change in state in response to detecting at least one of the interactions.

A system and method that identifies delayed infusion programs at an infusion pump or with a first computer and an infusion pump. The first computer receives an infusion auto-program from a remote source, transmits the infusion auto-program to the infusion pump, and sends a stale auto-program to the infusion pump. The infusion pump receives a manual infusion program, saves and executes the manual infusion program, and compares the stale auto-program to the manual infusion program to identify potential matches between the stale auto-program and the manual infusion program. The infusion pump evaluates the potential matches and determines if the potential matches are within a predefined tolerance, continues to execute the at least one manual infusion program on the infusion pump if the potential matches are within the predefined tolerance, and remotely saves differences in the manual infusion program and the at stale auto-program in a remote server for later analysis.

A injection site information cap includes a housing, a cover portion, an engagement portion configured to couple to and cover an injection port of an injection site, and at least one information element on the cover portion that is positioned to be automatically sensed by at least one sensor of the injection site when the engagement portion is coupled to or is being coupled to the medication injection port. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.

A system for manufacturing elastomeric components is provided. The system may include a molding station having a mold configured to receive an elastomeric material, form a pad that includes a plurality of untrimmed elastomeric components, and cure the pad. The system may further include an automated marking station comprising a laser and a camera. The automated marking station may be configured to remove the cured pad from the molding station, present the cured pad to the laser to form a mark on each of the untrimmed elastomeric components, and present the cured pad to the camera to capture an image of each mark. A process for manufacturing the elastomeric components is also provided.

Provided is a system comprising at least one inhaler. Each of the at least one inhaler comprises a use determination system configured to determine at least one value of a usage parameter relating to use of the respective inhaler by a subject. The system further comprises a user interface and a processing module. The user interface is configured to enable user-inputting of an indication of a status of a respiratory disease being experienced by the subject. The processing module is configured to control the user interface to issue a prompt to input the indication based on the at least one value.

A method for determining that a patient interface component comprising a vent has been replaced between therapy sessions of treatment of sleep disordered breathing, the method comprising: acquiring or receiving first vent flow rate data representing one or more estimated first vent flow rates of gas through a first vent of a patient interface in use during a first therapy session; acquiring or receiving second vent flow rate data representing one or more estimated second vent flow rates of gas through a second vent of a patient interface in use during a second therapy session after the first therapy session; and identifying, by comparison of the second vent flow rate data to the first vent flow rate data, a difference in resistance to flow through the first vent than through the second vent indicating that the second vent is not the same vent as the first vent.
