  • Publication number: 20030212379
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for remotely controlling medication delivery to a patient by means of a medication infusion pump, such as a subcutaneous infusion pump, and for remotely controlling the monitoring of one or more physiological fluid analytes such as by a percutaneous measurement device. The systems of the present invention include a medication infusion pump and a hand-held “fob” for the remote control of the infusion pump and/or measurement device. In addition to remotely controlling the insulin pump and the measurement device, the fob provides for the consolidation of blood chemistry data and insulin delivery data over a period of time and maintains such consolidated data for immediate and later retrieval by the user or a physician. The methods of the present invention allow a user to customize and optimize an insulin bolus delivery protocol, i.e.

  • Patent number: 4230663
    Abstract: A "cold" gas sterilization process that operates at temperatures below 80.degree. C. in a temperature range that is generally considered nonsporicidal. The process is capable of sterilizing with gaseous hydrogen peroxide at extremely low concentrations in a gas phase, such as 0.5 mg/L. The widely used process of "cold" sterilizing with ethylene oxide is typically run at a gas concentration of 630 mg/L and 55.degree. C. Apparatus is also disclosed for use of this process in "cold" sterilization of contact lenses.
