Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: A portable medical device for injecting a medicament into a patient. The device includes a control circuit with a memory, the control circuit automatically storing in the memory an ejection event including an amount of the medicament that is ejected from the portable medical device during the ejection event; and a proximity sensor configured to sense proximity of a solid object located in an ejection direction of the portable medical device without making contact with the solid object. The control circuit is configured to tag the ejection event as an injection event if the ejection takes place in proximity of the solid object and to tag the ejection event as a priming ejection if the ejection does not take place in proximity of the solid object.

Abstract: A transfer device with unrolling device, intended for providing a label handling system in an IML machine (In Mould Labelling) with IML labels. The transfer device comprises at least four holders, which are movable between a first and a second position, wherein the first position has a first predetermined relationship between the four or several holders regarding the distance in the X-direction. The holders are intended for retrieval of IML labels from the unrolling device, which comprises a label web, the length of which extends in the Y-direction, with partially stamped out labels, connected to the web with micro connections. The second position has a second predetermined relationship between the four or several holders regarding distance in the X-direction. The holders are intended to deliver the IML labels to the label handling system.

Abstract: A label picking apparatus includes an anvil having a cavity and a picking element. A support surface surrounding the cavity and a picking surface of the picking element are respectively connectable to an under pressure source for respectively holding a web of material to the support surface and pre-cut label to the picking surface, the pre-cut label attached with the web of material with micro material bridges. The picking surface moveable into the cavity to release the label from the web. The picking surface has an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface is formed from ends of protrusions that each extend from the inner surface, the protrusions of the picking surface made from high-friction material.

Abstract: There is provided a portable medical device for injecting insulin comprising a blood glucose meter, a first display that is capable of displaying the blood glucose content of a blood sample as determined by the blood glucose meter, means for injecting insulin in a patient comprising means for setting the amount of insulin to be injected comprising a second display that shows the amount of insulin to be injected characterized in that the device comprises a deactivation means that automatically switches off the first display.

Abstract: A tool for cutting tubing includes a rotary cutting head which has a slot for receiving a tube to be cut, a gear drive mechanism for rotating the cutting head, a clamping handle which extends from the gear drive mechanism, and a pull cord drive wheel mechanism for rotating the gear drive mechanism which includes a pulley, a pull cord wrapped around the pulley, and a retractor spring to rotate the pulley in an opposite direction after it has been rotated in a first direction by pulling on the cord to thus rotate the cutting head to sever a length of tubing. The clamping handle includes a pair of opposed semi-cylindrically-shaped shells which are pivotable apart to receive a length of tubing to be cut, and pivotable to a closed position and compressed by hand pressure to grip the tubing being cut.

Abstract: A device for humidifying breathing air for artificial respiration of mammals, in particular human beings, includes at least one essentially closed container for receiving water, a first opening for letting in the non-humidified air and a second opening for letting out humidified air, and an inlet for supplying the water to the container. The inlet is located in the upper part of the container, which is adjoined by a tube essentially crossing through the container interior, and on the free end of the tube, a valve is disposed, which limits the level of the water supplied via the tube in such a way that the container bottom in the container interior is essentially covered with water.

Abstract: A surgical table having a table top for receiving a patient thereon, a support for supporting the table top, two rails connected to the table top one on each side in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the table top, and at least one slide means on each side of the support for slidingly receiving the rail along the longitudinal axis. The rails are connected to the table top at two connection points on each side of the table top or is connected to the table top at one connection point only and the other end of the table top lies on a pin that may be joined in the corresponding connection point on each side of the table top.
