TRANSLATING THERAPY PARAMETERS OF AN INSULIN THERAPY SYSTEM TO TRANSLATED THERAPY PARAMETERS FOR USE AT A DIFFERENT INSULIN THERAPY SYSTEM
20210178067 · 2021-06-17 ·

Systems, storage media and computer-readable media are provided for translating one or more therapy parameters of a first insulin therapy system to one or more translated therapy parameters for use at a second insulin therapy system that is different than the first insulin therapy system. A therapy profile generated at the first insulin therapy system can be send to a translation service. The therapy profile includes one or more therapy parameters. At least one therapy parameter from the therapy profile can be translated into at least one translated therapy parameter that is mapped to and adapted for use by the second insulin therapy system. The at least one translated therapy parameter can then be sent to the second insulin therapy system for use at the second insulin therapy system.

ADJUSTING OPERATION OF A MEDICATION DELIVERY SYSTEM IN RESPONSE TO GESTURE-INDICATED ACTIVITY CHANGES
20210178068 · 2021-06-17 ·

A system disclosed here includes an insulin infusion device, a gesture-based physical behavior detection system that generates gesture data for a user, and a controller that controls operation of the insulin infusion device. The controller performs adaptive training of at least one feature, function, setting, or model associated with the insulin infusion device, based at least in part on the sensor data. The controller processes activity-identifying data that indicates a current behavior pattern of the user, and that includes gesture data provided by the gesture-based physical behavior detection system. The controller determines, from the activity-identifying data, that the current behavior pattern differs from a currently implemented therapy behavior pattern of the user, and, in response to the determination, alters the adaptive training of the at least one feature, function, setting, or model.

Medical device with impact resistant housing

The present invention relates to a housing of a medical device and to a respective medical device, wherein the housing comprises a body to receive at least one device component and wherein the body is flexibly deformable in response to mechanical impact above a predefined threshold.

System and Method for Determining Operation of a Medical Device
20210085864 · 2021-03-25 · ·

There is provided a method and system for monitoring a portable medical device. The portable medical device includes a cellular radio transceiver and at least one sensor. The sensor is selected from the group consisting of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an accelerometer, and an operations counter. The method for monitoring the device includes; a) using the sensor to determine a value of a parameter that is sensed by the sensor, b) using the cellular radio transceiver to establish a data connection to a remote computer via a cellular network, c) using the data connection to transfer the value from step a) to the remote computer, and d) the remote computer using the value from step c) to decide whether the portable medical device is in need of scrapping, service or replacement.

Drug Delivery System

A delivery system configured to be secured on a patient skin which comprises a first container having a first variable volume; a second container having a second variable volume; and a skin adherable unit configured to secure the first container and the second container to the patient skin. The medical device may further comprise a containers' interface configured to operatively couple the first container and the second container such that a volume increase of the second variable volume may induce a volume decrease of the first variable volume. Preferentially, the system further comprises a vent device configured to prevent any unintended pressure increase in the first storage compartment.

An infusion pump assembly includes an enclosure assembly. A reservoir assembly is positioned at least partially within the enclosure assembly and is configured to contain an infusible fluid. A pump assembly is positioned at least partially within the enclosure assembly and is configured to effectuate the dispensing of the infusible fluid contained within the reservoir assembly. Processing logic is positioned at least partially within the enclosure assembly and is configured to control the pump assembly. A removable cover assembly is configured to releasably engage the enclosure assembly. A combination of the removable cover assembly and at least a portion of the enclosure assembly defines a power supply cavity configured to prevent a removable power supply assembly from being reverse-polarity electrically coupled to the processing logic.

Ambulatory infusion pumps, medicament reservoirs, and plungers, including both dynamic and static seals, plus related components, as well as component combinations and related methods.

Infusion set with pivoting metal cannula and strain relief

An infusion set for use with a fluid infusion device having a fluid reservoir includes a cannula that provides a fluid flow path and a first housing. The first housing includes an articulation member coupled to the cannula. The articulation member is pivotable relative to the first housing to move the cannula relative to the first housing. The first housing is coupled to a fluid supply line to provide a fluid to the cannula, and the fluid supply line is to be coupled to the fluid reservoir to receive the fluid. The infusion set includes a second housing uncoupled from the first housing that surrounds the first housing and receives a portion of the fluid supply line.

FLUID DELIVERY DEVICE WITH SENSOR
20200338264 · 2020-10-29 ·

A wearable drug delivery device for monitoring unintended over-delivery and/or under-delivery of a stored liquid drug are provided. An absolute pressure sensor can be positioned within the fluid path of the drug delivery device. The absolute pressor sensor can detect both ambient pressure (e.g., absolute or atmospheric pressure) and relative pressure (gage or pumping pressure). Based on the detected pressures, the effects of external ambient pressure on air with the fluid path can be determined during both intended drug delivery events and unintended drug delivery events. In turn, under-delivery and/or over-delivery of the liquid drug can be determined. Based on the severity of the determined under-delivery or over-delivery of the liquid drug, alarms indicating different urgencies can be provided to the user.
