    摘要: Systems and methods of detecting occlusions and fluid-loss conditions (e.g., disconnects and/or leakages) in an infusion pump are discussed. For example, electrokinetic infusion pumps may develop an occlusion in the fluid flow path, which can disrupt control of fluid dispersed from the pump. As well, an infusion set disconnect can also result in a fluid-loss that can be disruptive. Such disruptions can be troublesome to systems that control the infusion pump, such as closed loop controllers. Accordingly, systems and methods described herein can be used to detect such occlusions and fluid-loss conditions during infusion pump operation. For example, a position sensor can be used to monitor fluid flow from the infusion pump, with the measurement being compared with an expected value to detect an occlusion or fluid-loss condition. Other algorithms for utilizing the position sensor are also described.

    摘要: An infusion pump (e.g., an electrokinetic infusion pump) includes an infusion pump module and an engine that can drive a moveable piston non-mechanically. In addition, the infusion pump module includes a position detector configured for sensing a dispensing state of the infusion pump module. Such information can be utilized in a control scheme to control fluid displacement within and out of the pump. Descriptions of different types of position detectors, such as magnetic sensors (e.g., an anisotropic magnetic resistive sensor), and their implementation in detecting infusion pump fluid displacement are described.

    摘要: A medical device pump with a housing with a compartment for removably receiving a cartridge containing a therapeutic agent, a conduit configured to operatively provide a fluid flow path for therapeutic agent to exit from the cartridge, a user activated delivery button, a trigger mechanism, and a mechanical pump mechanism. The trigger mechanism, user activated delivery button and mechanical pump mechanism of the medical device pump are configured such that the trigger mechanism is activated by a user fully activating the user activated delivery button. Moreover, such full activation generates mechanical power employed by, and sufficient for, the mechanical pump mechanism to pump a predetermined volume of therapeutic agent from the cartridge and through the fluid flow path.
