Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device to deliver fluid to a user in accordance with an operating mode involves identifying a fluid type associated with the fluid currently onboard the infusion device from among a plurality of possible fluid types that is different from a previous type of fluid previously onboard the infusion device. The identified fluid type has pharmacokinetics characteristics that are different from pharmacokinetics characteristics associated with the previous fluid type. The method continues by updating one or more parameters referenced by a control module of the infusion device implementing the operating mode to reflect the pharmacokinetics characteristics associated with the identified fluid type and autonomously operating the infusion device to deliver the fluid of the identified fluid type to the user in accordance with the operating mode and the one or more updated control parameters.

Extensible infusion devices and related methods

A system includes one or more processors and one or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of: associating a medical device with an intermediate device, obtaining, from the medical device via the intermediate device, measurement data correlative to a condition of a user, determining updated control information for the medical device based at least in part on the measurement data, and streaming the updated control information to the medical device via the intermediate device.

Streamed communication of updated control information to a medical device via an intermediate device

Subject matter disclosed herein relates to a method and/or system for tailoring insulin therapies to physiological characteristics of a patient. In particular, observations of a blood glucose concentration of a patient responsive to a meal profile and an insulin profile may be used for estimating one or more physiological parameters.

Method and/or system for assessing a patient's glycemic response

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to systems, methods and/or devices for calibrating sensor data to be used in estimating a blood glucose concentration. A relationship between sensor measurements and reference readings may be used to estimate a relationship between sensor measurements and blood glucose concentration. Such sensor measurements may be weighted according to a decreasing function of uncertainty associated with sensor values.

System and/or method for glucose sensor calibration

Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a user involves storing alert configuration information for the user, identifying an alert condition while operating the infusion device to deliver the fluid based at least in part on the alert configuration information for the user, and in response to identifying the alert condition, providing a user notification in accordance with the user's stored alert configuration information.

User-configurable closed-loop notifications and infusion systems incorporating same

Apparatus are provided for medical devices and related operating systems and methods. An exemplary medical device includes a motor, one or more data storage elements to maintain control information, and a control module coupled to the motor and the one or more data storage elements. The control module is configured to obtain updated control information via a peer-to-peer communication session over a network, store the updated control information in the one or more data storage elements, and thereafter operate the motor based at least in part on the updated control information.

Medical devices and related updating methods and systems

Processor-implemented methods of controlling an insulin infusion device for a user are provided here. A first method obtains a current insulin on board (IOB) value that estimates active insulin in the user, and compensates a calculated insulin infusion rate in response to the obtained IOB value. A second method supervises the operation of a glucose sensor by obtaining and processing insulin-delivered data and glucose sensor data for the user. An alert is generated if the second method determines that a current glucose sensor value has deviated from a predicted sensor glucose value by at least a threshold amount.

Safeguarding measures for a closed-loop insulin infusion system

Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a user involves identifying a condition of the user that is likely to influence a response to the fluid in the body of the user and classifying the condition as a first type of a plurality of types of conditions. After classifying the condition as the first type, the method continues by adjusting control information for operating the infusion device based on the first type and operating the infusion device to deliver the fluid to the user in accordance with the adjusted control information.

A method of measuring blood glucose of a patient is presented here. In accordance with certain embodiments, the method applies a constant voltage potential to a glucose sensor and obtains a constant potential sensor current from the glucose sensor, wherein the constant potential sensor current is generated in response to applying the constant voltage potential to the glucose sensor. The method continues by performing an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) procedure for the glucose sensor to obtain EIS output measurements. The method also performs a nonlinear mapping operation on the constant potential sensor current and the EIS output measurements to generate a blood glucose value.

Nonlinear mapping technique for a physiological characteristic sensor

An electronic controller for an insulin infusion device includes at least one processor device and at least one memory element that cooperate to provide a processor-implemented closed-loop initiation module. The initiation module is operated to obtain a most recent calibration factor for a continuous glucose sensor, the most recent calibration factor representing a first conversion value applicable to convert a first sensor value to a first blood glucose value. The initiation module also obtains a prior calibration factor for the sensor, and calibration timestamp data for the most recent calibration factor and the prior calibration factor. The initiation module regulates entry into a closed-loop operating mode of the insulin infusion device, based on the most recent calibration factor, the prior calibration factor, and the calibration timestamp data.
