  • Publication number: 20230131362
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring analytes in the circulatory system of an individual is provided. A biological sensor is implanted in the bone marrow of a patient and may be self contained within a housing. The biological sensor measures physiological parameters of a patient, including analytes, on a fixed or adjustable schedule. The biological sensor includes a control unit having a transmitter and an energy source for providing energy to the control unit. The biological sensor may be used to adjust other medical treatments and devices in a closed or semi closed loop mechanism and/or predict patient treatment.

  • Patent number: 9717865
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid delivery system that comprises a fluid container having a chamber structured to hold a fluid therein and a delivery device operable to control delivery of a fluid from the chamber of the fluid container. The fluid container includes a geometric mating member extending from an outer surface thereof. The delivery device includes a geometric mating receptacle structured to mate with at least a portion of the geometric mating member of the fluid container to verify compatibility of the fluid container with the delivery device. Alternatively or additionally, the fluid container may include a first data fixture component and the delivery device may include a second data fixture component that cooperates with the first data fixture component of the fluid container to verify compatibility of the fluid container with the delivery device.

  • Patent number: 9421332
    Abstract: A system and method for providing balanced, automated regulation of a patient's physiological condition by monitoring at least one physiological parameter and, optionally, monitoring and controlling additional physiological parameters, is disclosed. The system includes a physiological parameter monitor, an intelligent control device and a multi-channel delivery device for providing controlled intravenous delivery of at least two medications that affect the physiological condition being controlled. Control logic in the intelligent control device is derived by an algorithm based on model predictive control. The control logic includes mathematically modeled systems, empirical data systems or a combination thereof. The system of the present invention is optionally included in a networked system to provide centralized data storage and archival of system information as well as data export and query capabilities that can be used for patient file management, health care facility management and medical research.
