Publication number: 20240017006Abstract: Devices and methods detect and mitigate pre-occlusion leak pressures within a dispense stroke of an infusion device. An infusion pump obtains pump measurements indicative of pressure, and controls its pump mechanism to pause when the pump measurements satisfy a pre-occlusion pressure threshold. Additional pump measurements are obtained during the pause and pressure-related conditions can abate during the pause. The dispense stroke is resumed by the infusion pump when the pump measurements no longer satisfy pre-occlusion pressure criteria, and can be paused again. The number and frequency of pauses, analysis of pump measurements, and resumption of a dispense stroke can be predetermined, or dynamically determined. Pauses can also be preset regardless of current pressure conditions. Pausing the pump to increase the samples or sampling rate of a measured parameter indicative of pressure (e.g., pump motor current) provides a much higher resolution for detecting an occlusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Scott STEWART, Scott COREY, Kun LI

Publication number: 20240001031Abstract: Devices and methods are provided to improve accuracy of occlusion detection based on measured data in a fluid delivery device by using dead band normalization of loaded measured data to unloaded measured data. The loaded measured data and unloaded measured data are obtained during the same fluid movement operation or stroke of the fluid delivery device. The dead band normalization can be performed during an aspiration operation or a dispensing operation. An interface in the fluid delivery device that is close to the fluid driving mechanism and that can at least temporarily move under control but without moving fluid can be used to identify when to generate unloaded measured data during a fluid movement operation for dead band normalization of loaded measured data measured during that fluid movement operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Scott STEWART, Scott COREY, Kun LI

Patent number: 10590495Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and melt data acquisition according to a single slug approach in which a single slug in a microfluidic channel fills an entire thermal zone of the microfluidic channel, and the thermal zone used for both PCR temperature cycling and melt data acquisition. A detector may be configured to detect fluorescence from the thermal zone during the PCR temperature cycling for real-time PCR and/or during temperature ramping in the melt data acquisition. Slug position control may be achieved by detecting leading or trailing edges in a slug build target zone into which a slug passes after passing through the thermal zone. The single slug approach may break coupling between one or more events of the PCR amplification and melt data acquisition and enable events to be independently optimized.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Canon U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Johnathan S.
