A system includes a controller that is in communication with a medication delivery device and that includes control logic. The control logic is operative to calculate a first filtered total daily dose (TDD) during an initial tracking phase based, at least in part, on a first set of insulin delivery doses and subject to a first set of rate limits. The control logic is also operative to calculate a second filtered TDD during a steady state tracking phase based, at least in part, on a second set of insulin delivery doses and subject to a second set of rate limits.

The present disclosure relates to wearable injection devices that comprise flexible elements. Exemplary devices can comprise flexible reservoirs, flexible housings, and flexible metering mechanisms. The flexible elements of the present disclosure provide improved wearable injection devices with small heights, low profiles, and streamlined, flexible cases that can withstand impact without experiencing adverse performance effects or tearing off of the patient.

Provided is a medical liquid injection device including a base body, a needle assembly mounted on the base body, a reservoir fluidly connected to the needle assembly and having an inner space in which a medical liquid is stored, a plunger disposed inside the reservoir, and configured to move in a longitudinal direction of the reservoir according to an amount of the medical liquid stored in the reservoir, and a first sensor unit configured to measure the amount of the medical liquid stored in the reservoir according to the movement of the plunger.

Apparatus and methods for delivering medicament to a patient. The apparatus may include elements with different capacities to attenuate or absorb sterilizing radiation. The apparatus may include a medicament delivery assembly with interactive elements for dose-setting, priming and medicament ejection. The assembly may include a chamber housing a radiation-sensitive medicament present in the apparatus during sterilization by electron beam. The assembly may include an actuator chassis, a drive mechanism, a needle-priming mechanism and a fluid-displacement mechanism including a fluid-displacement member. The chassis may be fixed, relative to an outlet, to the chamber. The member may be slidingly and/or threadingly engaged with the chassis, and may be configured to move relative to the outlet to deliver the medicament through the outlet. Assembly elements may be nested coaxially and/or stacked axially. The assembly may include at least one hollow region. The hollow region may reduce beam attenuation or reduce radiation absorption.

A novel embodiment of a drive mechanism for use in a pump, for example, of the type that would be used in a wearable drug delivery system, comprises, a cylindrically-shaped slider element configured with a channel on a circumferential surface thereof defining one or more zig-zag-shaped tracks therethrough. One or more pegs are engaged within the tracks, such that a back and forth longitudinal motion of the slider element along a radial axis of the cylinder causes movement of the pegs along one of the tracks through the channel, thus providing a movement of the pegs around the circumference of the cylinder which imparts a rotational motion to a header element disposed co-axially with the slider. The header element is in turn connected to a gear train, for example, a planetary gear box, which is coupled to the pump via a linkage or other type of mechanism.

A pump subsystem for fluid delivery (e.g., in a wearable patch pump) is provided wherein pumping action is generated by linear piston movement that pulls a plug, which is interconnected to the piston between two mechanical extremes or end stops in a telescopic or variable volume fluid chamber. Such interconnection enables piston and plug to move a certain distance with respect to each other that corresponds to a predefined swept volume of the pump subsystem. Telescoping-like effect of relative piston and plug movement provides for intake and discharge of fluid with respect to the fluid chamber. Movement of plug within piston can be enabled by the friction of seals placed on the plug, which serve to provide resistance to piston motion and therefore force translation motion of the plug to lag relative to the piston translation motion during portions of the pump cycle.

Pump subsystem for fluid delivery (e.g., in a wearable patch pump) comprises a fluid chamber with pumping motion and a valve shaft assembly with valving motion, both being driven by the same drive mechanism. Fluid chamber has variable volume chamber provided by a piston driven by the drive mechanism and translated relative to a plug in the pump housing. Piston extends the fluid chamber during an intake stroke and retracts the fluid chamber during a discharge stroke. Valve assembly has at least one valve shaft controllably translated by the drive mechanism to selectively align a first throughway with an opening in the pump chamber and a fluid intake port for an intake stroke to draw fluid into the fluid chamber, and align a second throughway with the opening in the pump hamber and a fluid discharge port for an discharge stroke to discharge fluid from the fluid chamber.

The exemplary embodiments may account for a change in potency of a medicament and adjust the dosage of medicament delivered to a user via a medicament delivery device to compensate for the change in potency. The medicament delivery device may determine the amount of change in the potency in the medicament and may make the adjustment in dosage of the medicament delivered to the user automatically without user input. The net result in that the dosage of medicament delivered to the user is better matched to the user's true need for the medicament.

The invention relates to a dialysis device that provides recirculating flow dialysis in a wearable and portable format. It uses an exchangeable purification unit holding a volume of dialysate and/or a sorbent system for the in-situ regeneration of dialysate. The invented dialysis device comprises a carrier that is mounted on a replaceable cartridge. The carrier holds the electronics, user-interface, actuators and sensors. It actuates, controls and monitors the dialysis operation. The cartridge is a replaceable part that is connected to the patient via a flexible tubing. It consists of a reusable housing with a memory chip and holds a disposable inlay containing the purification unit with fluid lines, connectors, dialysate and/or sorbents in combination with a nanofilter. The cartridge is intended for use during the day, as a wearable system. The cartridge can be enlarged with an extension set to offer more capacity. The extended cartridge is intended to be used during the night as a bedside device.

A medical liquid injection device is provided. The medical liquid injection device includes a base body, a needle assembly mounted on the base body, a reservoir fluidly connected to the needle assembly and having a guide groove on an inner surface, and a driving unit configured to move a plunger disposed inside the reservoir.
