  • Publication number: 20200353168
    Abstract: Processor-implemented methods of controlling an insulin infusion device for a user are provided here. A first method obtains a current insulin on board (IOB) value that estimates active insulin in the user, and compensates a calculated insulin infusion rate in response to the obtained IOB value. A second method supervises the operation of a glucose sensor by obtaining and processing insulin-delivered data and glucose sensor data for the user. An alert is generated if the second method determines that a current glucose sensor value has deviated from a predicted sensor glucose value by at least a threshold amount.

  • Patent number: 10166331
    Abstract: Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a user involves identifying a condition of the user that is likely to influence a response to the fluid in the body of the user and classifying the condition as a first type of a plurality of types of conditions. After classifying the condition as the first type, the method continues by adjusting control information for operating the infusion device based on the first type and operating the infusion device to deliver the fluid to the user in accordance with the adjusted control information.

  • Patent number: 10001450
    Abstract: A method of measuring blood glucose of a patient is presented here. In accordance with certain embodiments, the method applies a constant voltage potential to a glucose sensor and obtains a constant potential sensor current from the glucose sensor, wherein the constant potential sensor current is generated in response to applying the constant voltage potential to the glucose sensor. The method continues by performing an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) procedure for the glucose sensor to obtain EIS output measurements. The method also performs a nonlinear mapping operation on the constant potential sensor current and the EIS output measurements to generate a blood glucose value.

  • Patent number: 9999728
    Abstract: An electronic controller for an insulin infusion device includes at least one processor device and at least one memory element that cooperate to provide a processor-implemented closed-loop initiation module. The initiation module is operated to obtain a most recent calibration factor for a continuous glucose sensor, the most recent calibration factor representing a first conversion value applicable to convert a first sensor value to a first blood glucose value. The initiation module also obtains a prior calibration factor for the sensor, and calibration timestamp data for the most recent calibration factor and the prior calibration factor. The initiation module regulates entry into a closed-loop operating mode of the insulin infusion device, based on the most recent calibration factor, the prior calibration factor, and the calibration timestamp data.

  • Patent number: 9878096
    Abstract: A controller for an insulin infusion device includes at least one processor device and at least one memory element that cooperate to provide a processor-implemented closed-loop start-up module. The start-up module is operated to initiate a closed-loop mode of the infusion device and to obtain a most recent sensor glucose value for the user. The start-up module also calculates a difference between the most recent sensor glucose value and a target glucose setpoint value. When the difference is less than or equal to a threshold value, the closed-loop insulin infusion rate is adjusted over time, based on a fixed final target glucose value that is derived from the target glucose setpoint value. When the difference is greater than the threshold, the infusion rate is adjusted over time, based on a dynamic final target glucose value that decreases over time toward the target glucose setpoint value.
