Abstract:
Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device involves obtaining a filtered measurement indicative of a physiological condition of a user, determining a metric indicative of a characteristic of the filtered measurement based at least in part on one or more derivative metrics associated with the filtered measurement, and determining an output measurement indicative of the physiological condition of the user based at least in part on the filtered measurement, the metric, and a previous output measurement.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for sensor calibration and sensor glucose (SG) fusion are used advantageously to improve the accuracy and reliability of orthogonally redundant glucose sensor devices, which may include optical and electrochemical glucose sensors. Calibration for both sensors may be achieved via fixed-offset and/or dynamic regression methodologies, depending, e.g., on sensor stability and Isig-Ratio pair correlation. For SG fusion, respective integrity checks may be performed for SG values from the optical and electrochemical sensors, and the SG values calibrated if the integrity checks are passed. Integrity checks may include checking for sensitivity loss, noise, and drift. If the integrity checks are failed, in-line sensor mapping between the electrochemical and optical sensors may be performed prior to calibration. The electrochemical and optical SG values may be weighted (as a function of the respective sensor's overall reliability index (RI)) and the weighted SGs combined to obtain a single, fused SG value.
