摘要:
Latching and control unit (1) for integration in a medical device for infusion of a medicament or removal of a substance of a human body by a drive means, the latching and control unit being adapted for controlling the movement of at least a first and a second movable component, the latching and control unit (1) comprising: a drive train (10) biased in a distant position with regard to the support device (20), wherein the drive train (10) comprises a case (13) and a latching means (17) for latching a first movable component and being movable within the case (13) between an extended and an retracted position and being biased in its latching position, wherein the case (13) is movable between an unstressed and a stressed position with regard to the support device (20) and biased into the unstressed position, wherein the elastic force for biasing the latching means (17) is greater than the elastic force for biasing the case (13), a detection device (15) for detecting a stressed position of the case (13), coupling means (13.6) for coupling of at least a partial movement of the second movable component with the movement of the case (13), a control device which is functionally connected to the detection device (15) which comprises a function for determining a stressed position of the drive train so that the control device determines the movement of the latching means (17) in its retracted position by interaction with the first component and the movement of the drive train (10) in its stressed position by interaction with the second component.
摘要:
A maximum settable dose feature is disclosed that is set by a user or health care professional one time that prevents future injections from exceeding the desired maximum dose. The feature includes a locking band (5) initially in an unlocked configuration, which transforms to a locked configuration when activated after setting a desired maximum dose. The feature can include a trigger mechanism (6,11) to transform the locking band (5) to the locked configuration.

摘要:
Systems and methods are described for triggering interrogation of RFID tags by an RFID system in different interrogation spaces in response to detection of the presence and/or motion of an object using a machine vision system. One embodiment of the invention includes an RFID exciter configured to communicate with a master controller, where the master controller is configured to control activation of the RFID exciter and a video camera connected to an application server, where the application server is configured to communicate with the master controller. In addition, the video camera is configured to provide a video sequence of a scene to the application server, the application server is configured to store information concerning a region of interest within the scene, the application server is configured to detect motion within the region of interest using the video sequence, the application server is configured to send a trigger message to the master controller in response to the detection of motion within the region of interest, and the master controller is configured to activate the RFID exciter in response to receipt of a trigger message from the application server.
