Patent number: 8852141Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may include an occlusion sensor that can be used to detect when an occlusion exists in the fluid path between the medicine reservoir and the infusion site on the user's skin. Such an occlusion may occur, for example, when the fluid flow line (e.g., a cannula, infusion set tubing, or the like) is kinked. If the medicine dispensation path to the user is occluded, the user may receive no dosage or a lower dosage of the medicine. As such, the occlusion sensor can be used to indicate when the fluid is flowing or not flowing, thereby permitting the infusion pump system to communicate an alarm to the user if an occlusion exists.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2011Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Asante Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Amit Mhatre, Jian Yao Wu, Mitchell Wenger, Steven Friedman

Patent number: 8388603Abstract: A device detracts fluid from a flow line into a repository for temporary storage and later use. Before an infusion set is changed, medication from the infusion set is detracted into the repository, where it is temporarily stored. Once the new infusion set is connected, medication is dispensed from the repository into the flow line of the new infusion set. The device thus reduces or eliminates waste of medication that was in the flow line of the infusion set, by saving the medication in the repository while the infusion set is being changed.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2010Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Inventor: Steven Friedman

Patent number: 8381333Abstract: To accommodate safe, convenient, and effective sleeping arrangements perhaps with mothers and babies, the present invention entails a co-sleeping apparatus and methods having a simple support which may be affixed by friction in a bed and uses a cantilever design to support various forms of baby, pet, and doll baskets (or other sleeping receptacles of choice) at close proximity and convenient locations near a resting parent. This simple cantilever design may provide three important advantages: an immediate arms' reach access to an infant without ever having to leave a bed; interference free design perhaps with no floor supports or bulky stands; and an extremely simple method for single-handed mounting, adjusting, and dismounting of an infant, pet, and doll sleeping receptacle and the like. Embodiments may provide stowing the apparatus in a virtually disappearing condition and the apparatus may be easily disassembled or even folded linearly for convenient long term storage.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2011Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Inventor: Steven Friedman
