摘要:
The invention is aimed at improving valve pinpointing and reading devices by proposing to activate a magnetic detection source allowing measurements regularly- distributed in a circle around an axis at predetermined measurement positions. An exemplary locator comprises a casing (26) provided with a mechanism for detecting and analysing the magnetic field of the magnetic dipole of the valve. It comprises : - a magnetic detection source (36) able to detect and measure the magnetic field of the magnetic centre of the valve at predetermined measurement positions distributed in a circle around an axis (X-X' ), linked to - a microprocessor (32) for analysing the measurements and for generating detection signals.
摘要:
An inhaler (1) is proposed which comprises an electric or electro-mechanic or magnetic vibrating device (13). The vibrating device may be attached to or integrated into the blister (2) containing an inhalation formulation (11). Thus, deagglomeration and generating of an aerosol cloud can be improved.
摘要:
Embodiments of a system including a remotely controlled substance delivery device and associated controller are described. Methods of use and control of the device are also disclosed. According to some embodiments, a deliver}' device or related device may be placed in an environment in order to pump a material into the environment or into an additional fluid handling structure within the device. Exemplary environments include a body of an organism, a body of water, or an enclosed volume of a fluid. The concentration of a substance in the fluid to be delivered may be modified by a remote control signal. In selected embodiments, an acoustic control signal may be used.
摘要:
A system for the metering and delivery of small discrete volumes of liquid, comprised of a minimal number of inexpensive components. Fluid (103) is moved rrom a resrvoir (102) through a displacement chamber (104) by movement of a plunger (112). The plunger (112) is moved from a first limit (105) to a second limit (106) by an acuator comprised of a shape memory alloy (114) ans biasing spring (115). Electrical current is supplied to the shape memory alloy (114) by a control circuit (116) that cycles the movement of the plunger (112).
摘要:
A medicament dispenser (2) has a body, a medicament container (4), a source of magnetic radiation (18) and actuating means comprising a magneto-rheological fluid (16).
摘要:
There is provided a medicament dispenser comprising a medicament container having a dispensing mechanism; a container seat for receipt of the container; an anchor station; and drive means capable of moving the container seat relative to the anchor station to actuate the dispensing mechanism. The drive means is actuable in response to the application of non-mechanical energy thereto, and gear means are provided to the drive means to gear up the torque provided thereby.
摘要:
Ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Injektion eines Medikamentes, z.B. Insulin, besteht aus einer am Körper des Patienten tragbaren Injektionseinrichtung, die neben einer Dosier- und Fördereinrichtung für ein Therapeutikum über eine Vorrichtung zur Penetration einer Injektionskanüle und über eine aus mehreren Sensoren bestehende Sensorik verfügt, mit einer integrierten programmierbaren Informationsverarbeitungseinheit (74) zusammenwirkt, die gespeicherte Daten über die Injektionszeiten und -menge, sowie ein Ablaufprogramm zur Auswertung der Sensorik und zum Ablauf der Injektion in einem internen Regelkreis enthält und einen Übertragungsmodul (70) für die wechselseitige Datenübertragung von Meßwerten, Stellgrößen und separater Sprachverbindung zwischen dem Träger der Vorrichtung und einer externen Zentralstation aufweist, wobei über den Übertragungsmodul eine externe Überwachung der Körperfunktion und aller Gerätefunktionen erfolgt bzw. erfolgen kann, sowie die in der Vorrichtung gespeicherten medizinischen Daten und die Programmierung änderbar sind. Über dieses Übertragungsmodul, z.B. ein GSM (Modem bzw. Mobiltelefon), ist über ein Funknetz, z.B. D1 oder D2, eine wechselseitige Sprachverbindung zwischen Patient und externer Zentralstelle vorgesehen und jederzeit möglich.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for a connection interface between a reservoir or syringe, infusion set tubing, and an infusion pump is provided. The reservoir, a base and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that is capable of being inserted and secured in an infusion pump housing. The cap and the infusion pump are each provided with at least one sensor or at least one detectable feature, arranged to interact with at least one corresponding detectable feature or sensor on the other of the cap and infusion pump device, to detect one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap when the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing. The detectable feature and sensor may be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical or any combination.
