Abstract: Apparatus are provided for infusion devices and related control systems and methods. In one embodiment, an infusion device includes a voided portion adapted to receive a shaft portion that includes a shaft coupled to a plunger of a reservoir. The shaft portion includes a detectable feature having an optically detectable pattern such as gray code, and the infusion device includes a sensing arrangement having an optical sensor proximate the voided portion to sense the detectable feature. In some embodiments, a control module is coupled to the sensing arrangement to determine a remaining amount of fluid in the reservoir based at least in part on the sensed position of the detectable feature. In embodiments, the optical sensor detects the sensed position of the shaft based on the detectable feature only when the reservoir is replaced and/or after each delivery of fluid to reduce power consumption.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically configuring a first medical device. In accordance with the methods and the systems, a computing system can obtain prescription information for a patient. The prescription information comprises a device prescription. The computing system can transform the prescription information into first configuration data comprising therapy settings for a first medical device referenced by the device prescription. The computing system can cause automatic configuration of the first medical device based on communicating the first configuration data to the first medical device.

Abstract translation: 提供用于输注装置和相关控制系统和方法的装置。 在一个实施例中，输注装置包括适于接收轴部分的空隙部分，所述轴部分包括联接到储存器的柱塞的轴。 轴部分包括具有光学可检测图案（例如灰色代码）的可检测特征，并且输注装置包括感测装置，其具有邻近空隙部分的光学传感器以感测可检测特征。 在一些实施例中，控制模块耦合到感测装置，以至少部分地基于感测到的可检测特征的位置来确定储存器中的流体的剩余量。 在实施例中，光学传感器仅在储存器更换时和/或每次输送流体之后基于可检测特征来检测感测到的位置，以降低功率消耗。
