Publication number: 20090005729Abstract: Disclosed is a medical infusion device including a dedicated processing unit for detecting abnormal operation of the operation of the device. Specifically, a watchdog controller is employed as an independent monitor of the functioning of microprocessors used in the medical infusion device for controlling things such as RF communication, insulin infusion, and system integrity. Through the use of an independently-powered watchdog control system, the accuracy and reliability of the device is enhanced, resulting in greater assurance to the patient receiving periodic or continuous infusion of a drug.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: Animas CorporationInventors: Charles Hendrixson, Ian Maxwell Shipway, John Quinlan, Brian J. McLaughlin, Steven Getz
