Publication number: 20240145099Abstract: A respiratory disease analytics system provides respiratory disease risk reports to a patient, provider, or third-party entity describing a patient's risk of experiencing a medication usage event given data in a geographic region. Regional data, including air pollutant conditions, weather conditions, demographic information, built environment factors, and regional health conditions for a geographic region are accessed from other sources and assigned based on event data recorded during a medicament usage event, as collected by sensors associated with the patient's medicament device/s. The regional data is assigned to medicament usage events occurring within a period of time. The assigned regional data is analyzed to determine an expected number of medication usage events for the geographic region occurring over the period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Meredith A. Barrett, Michael J. Tuffli, Michael Lohmeier, Robert Austin Lee, Christopher Hogg, John David Van Sickle, Gregory F. Tracy, Nicholas John Hirons

Publication number: 20240082104Abstract: Resuscitation and ventilation monitoring devices are provided. A device includes an inlet in fluid communication with airflows exchanged with lungs of a patient and an airflow meter for measuring characteristics of the airflows. A user may provide a controller with patient information, e.g., height, weight, gender, or age, via a measurement selector, enabling the controller to determine acceptable ranges of measured airflow characteristics. The device may determine a current mode of ventilation and associated ventilator settings based on the measured airflow characteristics. The device may also identify and filter out artifacts present in the ventilation signal, and determine whether a respiratory failure phenotype is present in the ventilation. If the current mode of ventilation and associated ventilator settings fall outside an acceptable range, the ventilation is classified as off-target and the controller may cause a sensory alarm to alert the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Michael Austin Johnson, Jason Adams, Jean-Pierre Delplanque, Justin Koos, Gregory Rehm

Compounding device system, software and method for controlling the process of compounding admixtures
Patent number: 11911736Abstract: An exemplary compounding method of controlling a compounding device to prepare an admixture of at least two distinct material sources can include examining material source solutions for incompatibility of the ingredients and operating a first and a second pump to prevent one of the incompatible source solutions from entering a common flow path. The processing method can detect degradation of a fluid line by evaluating one or more of calibration error rate data, cumulative volumetric flow data, or cumulative pump operation data. The processing method can also selectively transfer a first group of source solutions using the first pump, receiving pump data from one or more sensors that sense actions of the pumps, applying fluid correction factors and calculating discrete pump movements, the pump movements being indicative of an amount of source solution displacement by a pump, and operating the pumps to selectively dispense the source solution amounts according to a preparation order.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: B.

Patent number: 11865241Abstract: A patient monitoring system may be used with catheters to monitor the infusion and drainage of any solution into the human body. The system may be used, for example, with in-dwelling catheters for peritoneal dialysis in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, urinary tract catheters, insulin pumps in diabetic patients, feeding tubes and central venous line catheters. The patient monitoring system includes one or more fluid pathways for infusing into and/or draining solutions out of the catheter, and one or more sensors to monitor the fluid. The patient monitoring system transmits the patient monitoring data to a database, allowing data storage, processing, and access through graphical user interfaces to patients and providers via device applications or browser-based web access portals.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: GastroKlenz Inc.Inventors: Aly R.
