Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for affixing a portable medical appliance with an adhesive material on the surface of a skin of a human or an animal body with a high degree of positional precision. SOLUTION: The adapter device or an auxiliary device 1 used to manually stick the medical appliance 2a, 2b, 2c, equipped with the adhesive material 2d, to the surface of the skin of the human or the animal body forms one unit by being combined with the medical appliance and is equipped with an oscillating mechanism 2c and a fixing means 1b for releasing the fixed state. According to the adapter device, the medical appliance is stuck to the surface of the skin securely in an excellent manner in terms of ergonomics with a high degree of positional precision.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an infusion device which is used to administer a liquid medical substance into living tissues of a human body or an animal body and is suitable for fixing an administering device on a living body. SOLUTION: The infusion device for administering the liquid medical substance comprises a catheter head 1 having an underside 1a for securing on the living tissues 6, a cannula 1b which is mounted on the catheter head, protrudes from the underside of the catheter head, and punctures and is inserted into the living tissues, a guide connecting part 1c which is provided on the top face of the catheter head and is designed to connect to supply a liquid by releasably fitting and connecting the administrating device 2 to be used to the guide connecting part, and the administering device which is mounted on the guide connecting part to rotate around the guide connecting part for establishing the releasable connection to the catheter head. The administering device is equipped with at least one securing means 3 on the peripheral region 2a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method of filling a container (8) with a liquid drug from a drug reservoir (2) comprising the steps: a) connecting the container (8) and the drug reservoir (2) with a cannula (3) so that they communicate with each other; b) reducing the inside volume of the container (8), thereby displacing a gaseous medium from the container (8) into the drug reservoir (2); c) increasing the inside volume of the container (8), thereby displacing liquid drug from the drug reservoir (2) into the container (8); and d) disconnecting the filled container (8) and the liquid drug reservoir (2). The steps b) and c) are successively performed more than once before step d) is performed, thereby stepwise increasing the amount of liquid drug contained inside the container (8 ). By means of the method according to the invention it becomes possible to significantly reduce the risk of a formation of foam and air bubbles within the liquid drug that is filled into the container.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an assessment method to process a signal corresponding to a glucose concentration by performing a retrospective analysis, whereas the assessment contains the steps of starting the assessment initiated by a first trigger, collecting data to be analysed, analysing the collected data initiated by a second trigger, and displaying the results of the analysis. The invention further relates to a device, which is designed and programmed to perform said assessment method, consisting of at least a measuring device (45) for collecting the data to be analysed, a computing device (52) for analysing the collected data, a storage device (50) for recording the collected data and the analysis, a display (47) for visualising the analysed data, and a communication link (51) for transmitting data between the measuring device and the computing/storage device and display, respectively. The user has the opportunity of choosing the time period the analysis is performed for. By employing a user triggered and retrospective analysis of data, collected in particular during or after a relevant event such as a meal, it is ensured that the analysis relates to a certain event-specific context and therefore enhances the usefulness of the assessment of a glucose concentration.
