A medical device system includes a portable (patient-worn or patient-carried) medical device that can automatically initiate certain e-commerce and/or advertisement presentation features in response to the detection of one or more triggering events. A triggering even may, for example, be associated with the monitoring of the operation or status of the medical device, the operation or status of the medical device system, a medical condition of the patient, treatment of the patient, and/or the preferences of the patient or user. In one application, the medical device is an insulin infusion pump and the user is automatically prompted to purchase, order, or otherwise obtain replaceable or replenishable items associated with the operation of the insulin infusion pump, such as a continuous glucose sensor, an infusion set, or an insulin reservoir.

The present invention provides an automatic blood-sampling tube preparation device which can detect the presence of the proper or improper blood-sampling tube by selectively taking out a blood-sampling tube and transferring the blood-sampling tube to a label pasting position, printing information of the patient on a label, pasting the printed label on the blood-sampling tube positioned in the label pasting position, and collecting the label pasted blood-sampling tubes in the container for each patient. The device also includes photographing means for photographing an appearance of the blood-sampling tube taken out from the blood-sampling tube containing section and a control means arranged to have a threshold with respect to at least one characteristic information previously extracted from an appearance of a blood-sampling tube, to extract the characteristic information from the appearance image photographed to judge whether the blood-sampling tube corresponds to the instruction information from the doctor.

A lancing device (1) for taking blood samples comprises a housing (2), an axially displaceable lancet holder element (32) for holding a replaceable lancet (12), and a drive unit (30) comprising at least a lancing spring element (31) for driving the axially displaceable lancet holder element (32) in a lancing direction (18). The lancing device further comprises a tensioning carriage part (26) which can be fixed in a tensioning position (36) for tensioning the lancing spring element (31). The fixable tensioning carriage part (26) is temporarily axially fixed in this tensioning position (36) by means of a latching apparatus (35) which can be latched to the axially displaceable lancet holder element (32).
摘要:
In a medical device having a display element, a method of providing an intuitive graphical display of patient data begins by obtaining measurement data corresponding to values of a physiological characteristic measured over a period of time. The method continues by rendering a graphical representation of a portion of the measurement data on the display element, resulting in a display of the values of the physiological characteristic measured during a first interval of the period of time. Thereafter, the method processes a user-initiated display panning command and, in response to the user-initiated display panning command, dynamically pans the graphical representation while updating the portion of the measurement data. Thereafter, the method renders a display of the values of the physiological characteristic measured during a second interval of the period of time.

In a method of preparing a plasma sample, blood from a donor is placed in the inner of two concentric tubes which are releasably connected together. The outer sample tube is labelled with data relating to the blood sample. After the concentric sample tubes have been centrifuged to separate out plasma from the blood, the outer tube is disconnected from the inner tube so that plasma can be poured into the outer tube. The outer tube, which carries the label, is then retained for analysis. As an alternative to centrifuging, a leakage path which is permeable to plasma but not blood cells can be provided at the base of the inner tube and plasma forced into the outer tube by application of external pressure.

1,114,553. Sensing records; electric selective signaling. TECHNICON CORPORATION. 15 Dec., 1965 [24 Dec., 1964], No. 53151/65. Headings G4H and G4M. [Also in Divisions A5 and B4] A tag having markings for identifying an individual and carried by the individual is sensed when a sample or signal is taken from the individual, the container or recorder for the sample or signal having a tag which is marked under the control of the sensing means for the first tag so that the container or recorder has means for identifying the individual. In one embodiment (Fig. 1) the tag 12 is punched in two out of five code and when a sample is being taken the holes in the tag are sensed by feelers (Fig. 5) when a solenoid 82 is energized so that the feelers which engage holes are deflected. The deflection of these feelers result in appropriate ones of solenoids 140 (Fig. 6), being energized to advance their interposer elements between punch elements 104 and a hammer 138. When a hammer solenoid 134 is energized the hammer strikes the interposer elements which have been advanced to punch corresponding notches in the tag attached to the container. Each sample taken may be analysed for different constituents and signals corresponding to the concentration of each constituent fed to storage means which are read by a scanner. The sequential signals from the store are fed through an analogue to digital converter to a format control to which is also fed a signal indicating the individual from whom the sample was taken. This information is then passed from the format control to a recording means which produces a record or it may be fed to a computer or business machine so that any data required may be produced, e.g. abnormality detection, updating of records, billings, periodic reports and statistical studies. In a further embodiment (Fig. 9, not shown) sensors attached to the individual transmit signals representing, for example, blood pressure to remote indicators simultaneously with the transmission of signals representing the individual.
