Publication number: 20070112298Abstract: An external infusion device for delivering insulin from a reservoir into a body of a user includes the capability to deliver time-shifted basal insulin. The external infusion device includes at least one drive mechanism operatively couplable to the reservoir to deliver insulin into the body of the user, at least one processor to control the external infusion device, at least one power supply, at least one display device operatively coupled to the processor to provide visual information to the user, at least one input device operatively coupled to the processor to allow the user to command the processor, and a housing. Time-shifting of basal insulin occurs when a portion of basal insulin is added to a bolus, to a current basal rate, or to a bolus and a current basal rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2005Publication date: May 17, 2007Inventors: John Mueller, Carol Davis, Paul Kovelman, Mike Charles Tolle, Gary Williams, Linda Torres

Publication number: 20060173406Abstract: An infusion system is for infusing a fluid into the body of a patient. The infusion system includes at least one sensor for monitoring blood glucose concentration of the patient and an infusion device for delivering fluid to the patient. The sensor produces at least one sensor signal input. The infusion device uses the at least one sensor signal input and a derivative predicted algorithm to determine future blood glucose levels. The infusion device delivers fluid to the patient when future blood glucose levels are in a patient's target range. The infusion device is capable of suspending and resuming fluid delivery based on future blood glucose levels and a patient's low shutoff threshold. The infusion device suspends fluid delivery when future blood glucose levels falls below the low shutoff threshold. The infusion device resumes fluid delivery when a future blood glucose level is above the low shutoff threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Andrew Hayes, John Mastrototaro, Sheldon Moberg, John Mueller, H. Clark, Mike Charles Tolle, Gary Williams, Bihong Wu, Garry Steil
