Publication number: 20200350069Abstract: Medical devices critical to patient health and safety that communicate with third party hardware and software, such as smart devices, require validation to ensure compatibility and correct performance. Disclosed are methods and systems to perform a self-validation of hardware and/or software components with a medical device to confirm that any combination of hardware and software are compatible and perform acceptably. If the self-validation passes then the user may safely use the system, and it may report to a cloud server that the particular configuration tested was successful. If the self-validation fails, the user will be prevented from using safety-critical aspects of the application and be notified of the incompatibility; and the results may also be reported to a cloud server.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Arnold HOLMQUIST, Eric COHEN, Haripriyan HAMPAPURAM, Michael MENSINGER

Publication number: 20200327973Abstract: Intelligent (smart) tracking accessories for a medicine dispensing device, such as an injection pen or pen device, are described. A smart tracking accessory in the form of a smart cap for a medicine dispensing device, such as an insulin pen, is configured to protect the needle of the dispensing device and the medicine contained therein when the device is not in use. The smart cap may detect the presence of the medicine dispensing device, detect an activation event such as removal from the medicine dispensing device, inform the user whether it is safe to administer a therapeutic dose of medicine, and log occurrence of the dosing event.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2020Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Jack PRYOR, Arnold HOLMQUIST, Michael MENSINGER, Sean SAINT, Cory McCLUSKEY

Publication number: 20050245795Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An implantable analyte sensor including a sensing region for measuring the analyte and a non-sensing region for immobilizing the sensor body in the host. The sensor is implanted in a precisely dimensioned pocket to stabilize the analyte sensor in vivo and enable measurement of the concentration of the analyte in the host before and after formation of a foreign body capsule around the sensor. The sensor further provides a transmitter for RF transmission through the sensor body, electronic circuitry, and a power source optimized for long-term use in the miniaturized sensor body.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Applicant: DexCom, Inc.Inventors: Paul Goode, Arnold Holmquist, Mark Tapsak, Mark Shults, Victoria Carr-Brendel, James Brauker, Paul Neale, Jason McClure, Mark Brister, Peter Simpson, Rathbun Rhodes
