    Abstract: A bubble detector, a medical device system that includes the detector, and a related operating methodology are disclosed here. The detector is designed and operated to detect presence of bubbles in a fluid delivery tube. The detector includes a capacitive sensor, a control circuit to control operation of the sensor to measure capacitance associated with fluid in the fluid delivery tube, a power source to provide voltage across the capacitor electrodes and to provide operating power to the control circuit, a communication module to communicate sensor data from the detector, and a housing with structural features to secure the detector to the fluid delivery tube and to maintain the capacitor electrodes in position relative to the fluid delivery tube. The sensor data is indicative of the measured capacitance associated with the fluid in the fluid delivery tube.

    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for reducing a diabetic patient's foreign body immune response, including infusion site-loss and/or occlusion. Such foreign body responses are associated with the treatment of the diabetic patient where the treatment requires subcutaneous implantation of a foreign body, such as a cannula or catheter. In certain embodiments of the invention, a response-inhibiting agent is administered to a patient at the site of cannula/catheter insertion, thereby facilitating delivery of insulin to the diabetic patient and mitigating site-loss and/or occlusion over a period of time.

    Abstract: This invention pertains to systems and components useful for infusing medications such as insulin. Typically, the components are used to deliver insulin to a diabetic patient at a site of infusion over a period of time greater than 4 days. The system components typically comprise a cannula adapted for subcutaneous insertion into a diabetic patient. The system further comprises a fluid conduit adapted to deliver the insulin solution from a medication reservoir to the site of infusion and a depot in operable contact with the fluid conduit. The depot comprises selected materials including a site-loss mitigating agent (such as heparin) which inhibits inflammation at the site of infusion, and encapsulation of the cannula at the site of infusion. The site-loss mitigating agent is not premixed with the insulin, and instead is adapted to contact the insulin solution in the depot as the insulin solution flows from the medication reservoir to the site of infusion.

    Abstract: A cannula includes a tubular body having an axial dimension through which a flow channel extends. The tubular body has a first end for insertion into a subject, and a second end configured to be held within a base of a medical device. The tubular body has a first length portion extending along the axial dimension from the first end toward the second end. A second length portion extends along the axial dimension from the first length portion toward the second end, and has an outer dimension that flares outward to be larger than the outer dimension of the first length portion. The second length portion also has a tubing wall thickness that is greater than the tubing wall thickness of the first length portion.
