    摘要: A system and method for calibrating an IV pump infusion system tube comprises a fluid source, an infusion system comprising, an IV pump, a drive unit, a chamber with known constant volume, a control unit, and IV tubing with a known inner diameter tolerance, and a set of conductive plates. The system administers medicinal fluid, calculates the flow rate of the medicinal fluid in the chamber by measuring the time the capacitance level of the medicinal fluid changes from a capacitance level corresponding to a first (initial) position to a capacitance level corresponding to a second (filled) position, compares the calculated flow rate with a set flow rate of the IV pump input in the control unit prior to infusion, and adjusts the IV pump and flow rate based on the compared deviations for more accurate delivery to a patient. This configuration may therefore provide a more precise delivery rate.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for the aseptic delivery of a solution in a wearable form factor is disclosed. A patch pump may include a start button that, upon activation, causes an elastic fluid path to move. The elastic fluid path may include a first end that moves along a first plane to penetrate a solution container as well as a second end that moves, concurrently, along a second plane to penetrate a user's tissue. The elastic fluid path may maintain its flow resistance during the concurrent movement. The patch pump's housing may include a door with an opening configured to enable the second end to penetrate a user via the opening. The door may open when the device is removed from the user such that a portion of the open door may extend further than the second end of the elastic fluid path to prevent exposure of the second end.

    摘要: A system comprising a device and a monitoring unit configured to monitor the mechanical health of the device is disclosed. The monitoring unit may comprise at least one actuator, at least one sensor and at least one processing resource. The at least one actuator may be configured to vibrate the device and the at least one sensor may be configured to detect a corresponding output of the device. The at least one processing resource may be configured to process the output detected by the at least one sensor and to assess the mechanical health of the device by comparing the detected output of the device to a healthy fingerprint of the device, wherein the healthy fingerprint is an output of the particular device being tested when it is free of mechanical defects.
