Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to flow rate measurement systems with features to indicate and/or measure flow rate therefrom. In an embodiment, a flow rate measurement device is included having a base receiver, a plunger holder, and a movement sensor. The base receiver is configured to engage with a barrel of a fluid delivery device. The plunger holder is configured to engage with a plunger of the fluid delivery device. The movement sensor is configured to detect a movement speed of the plunger holder relative to the base receiver. The flow rate measurement device can be configured to generate a signal related to the movement speed of the plunger holder relative to the base receiver. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to flow rate control devices and methods for use with cancer treatment systems. In an embodiment, a flow rate control device for cancer therapy systems can be included having a housing configured to engage with a fluid delivery device and a visual indicator bar. The visual indicator bar can be disposed on the housing and the flow rate control device can be configured to cause the visual indicator bar to visually change to indicate a target plunger depression pace of a plunger of the fluid delivery device. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for interacting with targeted tissue of a patient. The apparatus comprises a central control module, a satellite module, and a lead. The satellite module comprises a processor, a communication module, a switching module, a memory, a sense amp, and a A/D converter. The apparatus is adapted for subcutaneous implantation. The central control module is coupled to the satellite module. The lead is coupled to the satellite module. A programming word comprising information to be sent to the satellite module is provided. The programming word is converted into identifiable groups of pulses corresponding to bits of the programming word. The identifiable groups of pulses are sent to the satellite module. The identifiable groups of pulses are converted to information for providing a therapy to the patient. The energy from the identifiable groups of pulses is stored to power the satellite module.
