摘要:
An implantable drug delivery device and method that includes a sensor device for detecting the motion of a diaphragm of an accumulator over time. Sensor data from the sensor device may enable indirect measurement of the flow conditions of the device. A processor within the implantable drug delivery device may use the sensor data to detect when motion of the diaphragm of the accumulator over time is outside normal or acceptable parameters and take an action in response.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a wear-out assessment system (10) comprising a patient interface (12) for delivering a flow of breathable gas to an airway of a patient, wherein the patient interface (12) comprises a first wireless communication unit (18), a communication device (14) comprising a second wireless communication unit (19) configured to wirelessly communicate with the first wireless communication unit (18) and a wear-out assessment unit (16) for determining wear-out data relating to a wear-out of the patient interface (12). The first and second wireless communication unit (18, 19) are configured to exchange at least parts of the wear-out data.
摘要:
A processor based respiratory monitor, such as a cannula coupled with a sensor and processing device, may operate for improving athletic performance through breathing related training. The processing device, which may include smart phone running a software application, may receive respiratory and/or physiological data from a user, such as first respiratory data representing breaths of the user and/or activity data associating the first respiratory data with activities of the athletic pastime performed by the user. Based on the received information, the processor may determine an optimized breathing pattern such as for a particular athletic activity. The processor may control a generation of output cues, such as visual, audio and/or tactile feedback, so as to assist the user to breathe in accordance with the optimized breathing pattern.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for inserting an endoscope through an anatomical cavity to a target site. A speaker is positioned externally proximate to a patient and the endoscope is inserted into the anatomical cavity. A signal is received from at least one sensor positioned near the distal end of the endoscope. The signal is indicative of vibrations induced in internal cavity tissue by the externally positioned speaker. A first anatomical structure in contact with the distal end of the endoscope is identified based on the signal indicative of vibrations induced in the internal cavity tissue by the externally positioned speaker. As the distal end of the endoscope moves from the first anatomical structure into contact with other anatomical structures along a path to the target site, the received signal indicative of induced vibrations changes correspondingly and is used to guide the endoscope to the target site.
摘要:
A device for delivering medicament into skin of a patient, the device having a housing, which includes a reservoir for housing the medicament, a first internal region that is sealed from fluid ingress and includes one or more components, and a second internal region that is not sealed from fluid ingress and includes one or more components. The housing also has a barrier that separates the first internal region and the second internal region, a delivery cannula that delivers the medicament into the skin of the patient, and a base including a bottom surface for orienting toward the skin of the patient. The bottom surface of the base has one or more fluid channels disposed therein and at least one of the fluid channels is in fluid communication with the delivery cannula.
摘要:
Drug delivery device adapted to receive a cartridge, comprising a piston driver adapted to expel an amount of drug from a received cartridge, and a base member adapted to engage a cartridge and position the cartridge relative to the piston driver, the base member comprising a main portion with a central passage, a portion of the piston driver being arranged axially displaceable through the passage, the piston driver distal end being arranged distally of the central passage, and flexible centring means adapted to receive the proximal end of a cartridge and centre it relative to the central opening and thereby to the piston driver.
摘要:
A skin attachable drug injection device (1), comprising an accelerometer (26) able to detect the user tapping against the housing (2) of the device and to generate an electrical signal to the device controller (16), which recognizes the signal as a user request for information regarding the ongoing delivery of the medicament, and a transmitter (30) which in response wirelessly transmits said information (e.g. the expected remaining during of the injection) to a separate portable user device having a display (e.g. mobile phone). A user carrying the injection device under clothing can thus receive feedback about the status of the injection in a discreet way.
摘要:
A miniaturized device (SDPFS) for monitoring and control of compliance to therapy for injectable drugs contained in pre-filled syringes (PFS) of a known type, wherein said syringes have a body (SBD) with an annular flange (RS) and a plunger (PLG), characterized in that it comprises, in combination: means for removable fixing of the device (SDPFS) on the pre-filled syringe (PFS); means for controlling the amount of injectable liquid and the rate at which the injection is made; means for controlling the inclination at which the injection is made with respect to the skin surface; wireless communication means for exchange of data with a remote control centre, equipped with server (SVR) and database (DTB), and/or with the physician in charge (PHC) via a device for connection to the Internet, such as for example a smartphone (SMPH), a tablet, or a gateway (GTW); means for warning the user of possible anomalies during injection; and means for hardware interface with the user that are present on the device itself, and means for software interface with the user that can be installed on the device for connection to the Internet, for data acquisition, for communication of information from and to the user and for management of the device itself.
