摘要:
A device and method for delivering insulin to a patient is disclosed. The method includes receiving an amount of insulin to deliver to a patient and beginning delivery of the insulin to the patient. The method further includes monitoring the delivery of the insulin to determine whether the insulin pump is able to deliver the entire amount of insulin and maintaining a timer until the insulin pump recommences the delivery of the insulin. The method includes comparing an amount of time indicated by the timer to a threshold. The method further includes generating a first insulin delivery record indicating that a first amount of insulin was delivered when the amount of time indicated by the timer is less than the threshold and a second insulin record indicating that a second amount of insulin was delivered when the amount of time indicated by the timer is greater than the threshold.
摘要:
An ambulatory infusion device (1) comprises a replaceable energy storage (10) for electrically powering its functional units (14, 14'). Control units (13, 13', 13") provide to a monitoring system (12) data about energy consuming activities or consumed energy by the functional units (14, 14'). Based on this data, the monitoring system (12) determines energy or charge consumed by the functional units (14, 14') and triggers measurement of the voltage of the energy storage (10) at a point in time which depends on the determined energy or charge consumed in a time interval preceding the point in time. Adapting the time of measurement to the actual energy or charge drawn from the energy storage (10) makes it possible to detect reliably and early a low energy state of any conventional standard battery, regardless of its electrochemical design and electrical behavior.
摘要:
An apparatus for metered supply of a liquid medicament having a power supply which not only allows the primary battery to be replaced without interrupting the insulin supply, but also makes it possible to bridge uncontrolled short-term interruptions in the current supply or voltage supply resulting from bouncing of the battery contacts, while also providing an adequate emergency power reserve is disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a handheld medical device having a bistable display device (3) that is preferably supplemented by an additional display device (2). The invention further relates to the use of a display device (3) having a display area that has a touch panel configured as a matrix of sensors, which are coupled to image segments of the display area and detect a touching of the display area, for a handheld medical device, wherein the sensors, by being coupled to image segments of the display area, affect a change of the representation of touched regions of the display area.
