Publication number: 20230282328Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to operating a fluid delivery device in a personalized manner based at least in part on historical data of a patient. In some embodiments, the techniques involve determining a predicted physiological condition of a patient in response to a future activity of the patient, based at least in part on historical data corresponding to the future activity for the patient; determining, based at least in part on the predicted physiological condition of the patient, an adjustment to fluid delivery to the patient by a medical device to prospectively account for the future activity; and operating the medical device to deliver a fluid to the patient in accordance with the adjustment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Mahta Sadeghzadeh, Benyamin Grosman, David Legray, Ulrich H. Rankers, Anirban Roy, Steven J. Vargas

Patent number: 11699510Abstract: Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a patient involves obtaining, by a control system associated with the infusion device, measurement values indicative of a condition of the patient provided by a sensing device, identifying an event pattern based at least in part on the measurement values for the condition and historical data associated with the patient, generating a notification indicative of the event pattern in response to identifying the event pattern, and adjusting operation of the infusion device to deliver the fluid to the patient in a manner that is influenced by the event pattern in response to receiving user input confirming the event pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: MEDTRONIC MINIMED, INC.Inventors: Benyamin Grosman, David Legray, Ulrich H.

Patent number: 6890400Abstract: Overlaminated faceless PSA label constructions of this invention comprise a low material cost, thin prelaminate PSA construction having a layer of pressure-sensitive material disposed on a release surface of a removable substrate, and a nonblocking continuous film disposed over a surface of the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive to render the pressure-sensitive adhesive tack free. An optically transparent overlaminate film layer is disposed over the nonblocking continuous film, and a printed indicia is interposed between the overlaminate film layer and nonblocking continuous film. The prelaminate PSA construction does not include a conventional facestock formed from paper, cardboard or plastic, and is highly conformable.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: William F.
