Abstract: Various systems and methods for detecting air in a chamber of an infusion system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a determination is made that air is contained in the chamber on the basis of a change in the average force exerted against the plunger utilizing a derivative spike for event detection and a systematic reduction in the average force to confirm the nature of the change. In another embodiment, a determination is made that the chamber contains air when a difference between the current force profile and a baseline force profile crosses a threshold. In an additional embodiment, a force profile is classified as being an air force profile or a liquid force profile based on extracted features of the force profile.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and delivering medication to a patient includes a controller that has a control algorithm and a closed loop control that monitors the control algorithm. A sensor is in communication with the controller and monitors a medical condition. A rule base application in the controller receives data from the sensor and the closed loop control and compares the data to predetermined medical information to determine the risk of automation of therapy to the patient. The controller then provides a predetermined risk threshold where below the predetermined risk threshold automated closed loop medication therapy is provided. If the predetermined risk threshold is met or exceeded, automated therapy adjustments may not occur and user/clinician intervention is requested.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a system and method for detection of a transient air bubble in an arterial blood flow path during dialysis (e.g., hemodialysis). The system uses measurements from an optical sensor to remove one or more effects of common factors affecting the absorbance of the light incident on the arterial tubing. These factors include color of medium within the arterial tubing, tubing color, angle of illumination, and temperature of the optical detector. A variance of the measurements from the optical sensor are used to determine whether an air bubble is present.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a method and system for estimating flow rates of a fluid or medium though a dialyzer during a dialysis treatment (e.g., a hemodialysis treatment). Pressure sensors are incorporated in dialyzers used for hemodialysis to achieve continuous monitoring of fluid balance of the body. During dialysis, obtaining fluid input and output pressures experienced at various inlets and outlets of dialyzers is easier than obtaining flow rates at these inlets and outlets, but using flow rates is better in determining the effectiveness of a dialyzer during hemodialysis. Embodiments of the disclosure thus use pressure measurements at inlets and outlets of a dialyzer along with a dialyzer model to determine fluid flow rates through the dialyzer. The fluid flow rates are used to determine whether there are leakages or occlusions in tubing during the dialysis treatment.
