An apparatus comprising a user interface configured to generate an electrical signal to start a basal insulin rate test when prompted by a user, an input configured to receive sampled blood glucose data of a patient that is obtained during a specified time duration, including a time duration during delivery of insulin according to a specified basal insulin rate pattern, and a controller communicatively coupled to the input and the user interface. The controller includes an insulin calculation module configured for determining at least one of an amount of basal insulin over-delivered and an amount of basal insulin under-delivered during the basal insulin rate test in trying to meet a target blood glucose baseline. Other devices and methods are disclosed.

Basal rate testing using frequent blood glucose input

An apparatus comprising a pump, an input configured to receive information related to a user, a user interface, and a controller communicatively coupled to the pump, the input, and the user interface. The controller includes a timing module configured to initiate delivery of a drug in time and to adjust delivery according to the received information. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Diabetes therapy coaching

A delivery device () for an implantable medical device includes an inner shaft () extending in a longitudinal direction and defining a compartment () adapted to receive the medical device in an assembled condition, an outer shaft () surrounding a longitudinal portion of the inner shaft, and a distal sheath () operatively attached to the outer shaft (). The distal sheath () is slidable between a first position enclosing the compartment () and a second position exposing the compartment () for deployment of the medical device. A sleevesurrounds at least a longitudinal portion of the outer shaft () and provides a substantially blood tight bearing surface that facilitates sliding movement of the delivery device () in an introducer ().

Sleeve for facilitating movement of a transfemoral catheter

A tissue puncture closure device includes a carrier tube, a suture, an anchor, and a sealing pad. The sealing pad maintains a constant or substantially constant shape from when positioned in the carrier tube to when removed from the carrier tube and positioned adjacent to the tissue wall puncture in a post-deployment position. The suture may retain the anchor and sealing pad in contact with the tissue wall without altering a shape of the sealing pad.

Compactionless tissue puncture closure device and methods

An apparatus comprising a pump, a user interface, and a controller communicatively coupled to the pump and the user interface. The controller is adapted to receive information relating to a blood glucose level of a user, determine whether the blood glucose level differs from a target blood glucose level by a threshold value, and selectively provide or delay provision of an alert notifying the user to check the user's blood glucose level. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.
