  • Publication number: 20180200432
    Abstract: A device for administering a drug solution includes: a pumping apparatus configured to deliver a drug solution held in a reservoir to a live body; a flow rate sensing apparatus configured to determine a flow rate of the solution delivered by the pumping apparatus, the flow rate sensing apparatus comprising: a heat-generating element disposed in a conduit line in which the drug solution is delivered; a first temperature sensor disposed in the conduit line upstream of the heat-generating element; a second temperature sensor disposed in the conduit line downstream of the heat-generating element; and an processor configured to calculate the flow rate in the conduit line based on a difference between a temperature detected by the first temperature sensing element and a temperature detected by the second temperature sensing element; and a controller configured to control a drive state of the pumping apparatus based on the determined flow rate.

  • Patent number: 8650047
    Abstract: A blood glucose measuring device capable of collectively performing blood glucose measurement process and collectively performing insulin administration process on many patients. When having read a patient ID with a patient ID reading section, a control section identifies a record of the patient of a measurement/administration results table. The control section does not perform blood glucose measurement on the patient of the identified record which shows that a blood glucose measurement flag is “true” and an insulin administration confirmation flag is “false”, and displays an insulin dosage on a display unit with respect to the patient by referring to a prescription information table based on the blood glucose level has been measured. The control section does not display the insulin dosage on the display unit again for the patient whose record is identified which shows that the insulin administration confirmation flag is “true”.

  • Patent number: 8423386
    Abstract: The present invention is made to prevent accident of mistaking blood glucose meter among a plurality of blood glucose meters used in a hospital ward. The blood glucose meter is provided with a nickname area in a nonvolatile storage thereof, and the nickname area can be written from outside. Further, when the blood glucose meter is powered on, a nickname is displayed on a display thereof. A measurement data managing device is provided with a blood glucose meter individual setting table in which the serial number and the nickname of the blood glucose meter are is register in association with each other. When the measurement data managing device is connected with the blood glucose meter and communication is started, the serial number of the blood glucose meter is automatically read out, and the nickname obtained from the blood glucose meter individual setting table is displayed on the display.

  • Patent number: 8326650
    Abstract: The present invention is made to provide a safe and efficient blood glucose measuring device capable of collectively performing blood glucose measurement process and collectively performing insulin administration process on many patients, while ruling out the risk of misidentification and misprescription among the patients. When having read a patient ID with a patient ID reading section, a control section identifies a record of the patient of a measurement/administration results table. The control section does not perform blood glucose measurement on the patient of the identified record which shows that a blood glucose measurement flag is “true” and an insulin administration confirmation flag is “false”, and displays an insulin dosage on a display unit with respect to the patient by referring to a prescription information table based on the blood glucose level has been measured.

  • Publication number: 20100256473
    Abstract: The present invention is made to provide a safe blood glucose measuring system capable of preventing medical accidents such as forgetting to measure the blood glucose and/or forgetting to administer insulin. An incomplete patient history processing section periodically searches an insulin administration instruction table for blood-glucose-unmeasured patient, and writes blood-glucose-unmeasured patient in a patient history table. A complete patient history processing section writes data from a blood glucose measurement table in the patient history table as blood-glucose-measured patient. An incomplete patient warning processing section periodically searches the patient history table, and provides control to display a warning when finding any blood-glucose-unmeasured patient.
