A technical solution for monitoring operation of a medical delivery device such as an infusion pump for occlusion is provided that employs sensing pump motor current and monitoring average motor current difference as between dispense and aspirate strokes in a pump cycle. The solution can be implemented alone or in combination with other occlusion sensing methods that use one or more of pump measurement data such as pump stroke duration (e.g., duration of aspirate stroke or dispense stroke in a rotational metering-type pump or a reciprocating-type pump), end-stop or limit switch activation, and duration difference between aspirate and dispense strokes to detect occlusion.

Systems, apparatuses and methods for occlusion detection using pump operation measurement

An optical analyte sensor and diabetes management system is provided. The sensor preferably includes a hydrogel matrix for receiving a sample containing an analyte at unknown concentration, a light emitter for emitting light at a stimulation frequency, a light receiver for receiving a fluorescence signal at a first isosbestic frequency, and at a second frequency, for measuring an intensity of the fluorescence signal and the first and second frequencies. A processor determines a concentration of the analyte based on the respective intensities.

System and method for dynamically calibrating and measuring analyte concentration in diabetes management monitors

A patient monitoring device and method that determines and monitors at least one patient parameter is provided. A configuration processor generates configuration information in response to a first input signal and an adaptive notch filter receives a second input signal. The second input signal includes a signal of interest and an interference signal in a predetermined frequency range. The adaptive notch filter automatically estimates the interference signal within the second input signal based on a filter parameter and removes the estimated interference signal from the second input signal to generate a target signal. A step processor is electrically coupled between the configuration processor and the adaptive notch filter and sets a value of the filter parameter based on the configuration information, wherein the adaptive notch filter uses the filter parameter to reduce a ringing artifact on the target signal below a threshold level.

Adaptive notch filter

A system includes a low pass-filter and a Savitzky-Golay filter. The low-pass filter receives and processes a first electrocardiogram signal. The filter removes at least the high frequency components of the first electrocardiogram signal. The Savitzky-Golay filter estimates a baseline variation of the first electrocardiogram signal from the filtered first electrocardiogram signal. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
