Publication number: 20220105262Abstract: A medical device for infusing medical substances has activation buttons accessible on the exterior of the device housing. Activation buttons and corresponding electrical switches within the housing are configured to prevent inadvertent activation of the buttons and therefore inadvertent operation of the switches to initiate a process such as medical substance delivery to the user. The device employs overlap of respective time traces initiated by activation of the activation buttons to determine whether activation is intended and valid. These time traces do not have to be initiated simultaneously or in any particular sequence. The activation buttons can be elastomeric overmolded buttons set within cutouts in the housing, and, when depressed, make physical contact with respective switches.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Charles George HWANG, J. Richard GYORY, Joseph GORDON, Kenneth FOCHT, Stanislav TORGOVITSKY, Stacey J. LONGANECKER

Publication number: 20200384190Abstract: A medical device controller is provided that avoids unintended user inputs and unwanted medical device operation(s). A controller sends display commands to a graphical user interface (GUI) display to generate a first screen having a swipe field with no moving icons that prompts a user to initiate a designated operation by the medical device. When a valid swipe gesture is inputted, the controller generates a second screen with confirm button that requires a valid user press before the controller undertakes the designated operation, the controller generating and sending a command for the designated operation to the medical device when the controller determines that a valid user press has been inputted to the confirm button. The controller also sends commands to generate a status screen that transitions a rotating progress ring symbol and level indicator in accordance with a selected event to clearly indicate the status of medical device operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2018Publication date: December 10, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Margaret Anne JACOBI, Sonya MEAD, David John SIEDZIK, Tony Hai NGUYEN, Ping ZHENG, Clinton James GOYETTE, Justin David CUMMING, Thomas Frank KINST, Marc Clifford VOGT, J.
