Disclosed is an ambulatory infusion device, including a control unit and an electroacoustic transducer. The control unit is configured to operate the electroacoustic transducer as noise emitter or to operate the electroacoustic transducer as noise receiver and to determine from a received noise that is received by the electroacoustic transducer a state of the ambulatory infusion device.

Ambulatory infusion device

A method for controlling operation of a medical device in a medical system having a medical device, a communication device including a remote control for the medical device, and a safety device adapted for data communication with the communication device. Input data is provided and processed by a first calculation to thereby provide a first calculation result. The input data is processed by a second calculation executed separately from first calculation to thereby provide a second calculation result. The first and second calculation results are compared. When the first and second calculation results are found equal, remote control of the medical device by a medical device application running on the communication device is allowed. When the first and second calculation results are found not equal, the medical device application running on the communication device for remote control of the medical device is prevented.

Method for controlling operation of a medical device in a medical system and medical system

Disclosed is a method for scheduling a refilling of a secondary reservoir of an ambulatory infusion system out of a primary reservoir storing a liquid drug. The method includes repeatedly and automatically carrying out a filling volume assessment routine. The filling volume assessment routine includes: determining, at a present point in time, an estimated filling volume of the secondary reservoir at a future estimation point in time, the future point in time being an estimation time interval after the present point in time, and determining in dependence of the estimated filling volume, if the secondary reservoir shall be refilled at the present point in time.

Controller and method for refilling a dosing unit

Embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for administering a drug over a time period. One embodiment of a system includes an administration unit, a housing that houses the administration unit, and a controller unit adapted to receive an alarm triggering signal. Also included in some embodiments is an alarming unit that is adapted to generate an alarm signal on reception of the alarm triggering signal. Some embodiments include a patient state monitor that includes a motion-sensitive sensor unit that is reactive on patient motion. The patient state monitor may be adapted to process a sensor signal generated by the motion-sensitive sensor unit. The patient state monitor may also be adapted to transmit the alarm triggering signal to the controller unit if a patient motion level is below a predefined motion level, as determined by a length of time without patient motion.

Administration device having a patient state monitor

The present invention relates to method for generating a monitoring signal by monitoring laboratory values of a patient using a medical app (). The medical app () is executed on a mobile device () of the patient, wherein the execution of the medical app () on the mobile device () of the patient is supervised by a supervising entity or safety module (), the supervising entity or safety module () comprising at least executable program instructions (). The medical app () comprises executable instructions for executing at least one sequence of processes for generating the monitoring signal. The processes comprise safety critical processes. The sequence of processes is triggered by the measurement of the blood glucose level of the patient. The method comprises executing a first process of the sequence of processes, wherein the execution results in the generation of an information, forwarding the information of the executed process to the supervising entity or safety module (), evaluating the received information by the supervising entity or safety module () and executing a second process of the sequence of processes depending on the result of the evaluation.

Administration device having patient state monitor

Administration devices for supplying an injectable or infusible product into an organism include a reservoir for storing the product, a supply device for supplying the product from the reservoir into the organism, a controller to control operation of the administration device, a button communicatively coupled to the controller to initiate at least one action of the administration device and a touch sensor that generates an activation signal, wherein the touch sensor is incorporated into the button or is disposed in the vicinity of the button and is communicatively coupled to the button and/or the controller.

Administration device having a button with touch sensor

A patient system including a first patient device for being carried by a patient and a second patient device arranged remotely from the first patient device, wherein a user interface of the first patient device is provided separately from the first patient device on the second patient device.

System with a portable patient device and external operating part

The invention relates to an infusion device for therapeutic use comprising a water-tight cover in the form of a housing, a housing part or a receptacle for holding said infusion device and a control system which is used for controlling the cover water tightness and comprises c) a medium arranged in the cover and characterized by at least one physical or chemical quantity variable according to the cover water tightness and d) an information system which automatically transmits at least one information signal when said quantity changes in such a way that the loss of the cover water tightness is indicated.

Infusion device provided with a water-tight cover

A compact and one time use, self-administration device () for administering medication is disclosed. The device includes a housing () having a start button (), a status indicator (), a window (), and a surface removably attachable to a user. The device () has a cartridge holder () providing in an aseptic environment a cartridge () containing the medication. The cartridge () is viewable through the cartridge holder () and the window (). An included drive unit () provides a movable plunger () that breaks through a sterile barrier () of the cartridge holder () to dispense the medication from the cartridge () to an hollow needle () for administering the medication into the user. The device () provides means () for extending and retracting the hollow needle () and an electronic control unit () which controls the drive unit (), the extending and retracting means (), and interfaces with the start button (), the status indicator (), and the body sensor () to automatically administer the medication.

Delivery device for use with a therapeutic drug

The invention relates to an infusion device for therapeutic use comprising a water-tight coverin the form of a housing, a housing part or a receptacle for holding said infusion device and a control system which is used for controlling the coverwater tightness and comprises c) a medium arranged in the coverand characterised by at least one physical or chemical quantity variable according to the cover water tightness and d) an information systemwhich automatically transmits at least one information signal when said quantity changes in such a way that the loss of the coverwater tightness is indicated.

A device including a display for displaying operational and/or functional parameters of the device and a control unit with at least one control element for controlling the display and/or device, wherein the display is at least partly rotatable with respect to the device, and/or wherein the position of the at least one control element is modifiable or changeable with respect to the device. In some embodiments, the control functions of at least two control elements of the device are interchangeable. In some embodiments, the display is provided by data sent to the display at intervals, whereby the display is updated. In embodiments in which several display parts are rotatable, data is processed by a processing module prior to being sent to the display. A method of display and/or display and control manipulation is encompassed.
