  • Publication number: 20220199218
    Abstract: Ambulatory medical devices that provide therapy to a subject, such as blood glucose control, are disclosed. Disclosed systems and devices can implement one or more features that improve the user experience, such as maintain delivery of therapy to a subject after determining that a possible occlusion exists in a medicament delivery system. The system can receive an indication of an amount of initial medicament in possession of the subject and determine a rate of consumption of medicament. The system can determine the amount of total remaining medicament and determine that the amount of the total remaining medicament is below a threshold amount. Based on this, the system may generate a user alert that indicates that additional supply of medicament may be necessary.

  • Publication number: 20220189601
    Abstract: Blood glucose control systems are disclosed. A blood glucose control system can receive a glucose level signal from a glucose sensor operatively coupled to a subject. The system can decode encoded data of the glucose level signal to obtain the glucose level of the subject and the indication of the glucose trend. The system can automatically calculate the dose control signal using a control algorithm configured to calculate regular correction boluses of glucose control agent in response to at least the glucose level of the subject. The system can select a dose control signal encoding profile from a plurality of dose control signal encoding profiles and, based on the dose control signal encoding profile, encode the dose control signal such that the pump controller can read the dose control signal. The system can transmit an encoded dose control signal to the pump controller.

  • Patent number: 11357911
    Abstract: A multi-medicament infusion system (10) for preventing the mischanneling of medicaments may include an infusion pump (12), medicament reservoirs (16A,16B), a multi-channel lumen (18), and an infusion set (20). The medicament reservoirs may be sized and shaped differently such that the medicament reservoirs can only be inserted into the infusion pump in a unique configuration. The multi-channel lumen may include connectors that mate to corresponding connectors on the infusion pump and the infusion set only in a unique configuration. Because the various parts of the multi-infusion system may only be connected in the unique configuration, the expected medicaments may be administered appropriately and channeled to the correct infusion sites.

  • Publication number: 20220080118
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to an ambulatory medicament device that can generate a dose control signal to cause a medicament pump to infuse medicament into a subject. The system can analyze status to determine whether an alarm condition for the ambulatory medicament device or for a subject is already present in a list of pending alarm conditions. If the alarm is not present, the system can determine a severity level of the alarm condition from among a plurality of severity levels and annunciate the alarm condition using one or more annunciation patterns selected based on the severity level of the alarm condition for the medicament device or for the subject. The system may maintain an indication of the alarm condition on the list of pending alarm conditions until the alarm condition is resolved.

  • Publication number: 20220080120
    Abstract: An ambulatory medical device can detect a device condition and determine if the device condition satisfies a set of normal operating parameters. If the normal operating parameters are not satisfied, the ambulatory medical device can determine if the device condition stratifies a set of minimum operating parameters. If the minimum operating parameters are satisfied, the ambulatory medical device can maintain a delivery of therapy to a subject and generate an alert based on the device condition.
