Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an infusion system improved in operability in order to more surely operate the system and also not to suffer from an error. SOLUTION: This infusion system 1 is operated in two different operation modes: (a) a remote control mode and (b) a direct control mode, and the system includes a trigger device for switching between the remote control mode and the direct control mode. In the remote control mode (a), at least one infusion control command required to be confirmed is generated by an input device 11 of a remote control unit 3, and a corresponding confirmation signal is output from an output device 9 of the remote control unit 3, and in the direction control mode (b), at least one infusion control command required to be confirmed is generated by an input device 7 of an infusion unit 2, and a corresponding confirmation signal is output from an output device 5 of the infusion unit 2.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for transmitting data selectively in a diabetes mellitus management apparatus having a movable structural element and a base station. SOLUTION: In a first time cycle in which radio communication link is established, data transfer is performed selectively so that a first partial of data is transmitted from a movable structural element to a base station. Moreover, the first partial is selected by using a selective algorithm of processor control so that the data transferred in the first time interval represent all data stored in the movable structural element.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diabetes care system in which a data transmission is achieved and which is very comfortable for a user. SOLUTION: The diabetes care system includes a mobile component and a base station. The mobile component is wearable on the body or can be implemented in the body and includes a memory for storing data and a communication unit for transmitting data to the base station. The base station has a communication unit for wireless reception of data from the mobile component and a memory unit for storing transmitted data, and an output unit for displaying data which have been transmitted by the mobile component. The data transmission between the mobile component and the base station occurs within a time interval in which a wireless communication link exists. In the diabetes care system, a selective data transmission is performed, wherein a first partial set of data is transmitted to the base station within the first time interval in which the wireless communication link exists, and the first partial set of data is selected using a processor-controlled selection algorithm in such a manner that the data transmitted in the first time interval is representative of the entirety of the data stored in the mobile component.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for measuring the analyte concentration in a human or animal body. SOLUTION: This system includes: an exchangeable sensor 3 for generating a measurement signal showing the analyte concentration; a data carrier 11 with calibration data of the sensor; and a base station 2 to which the sensor 3 and the data carrier 11 are connected, wherein the measurement signal of the sensor 3 can be transferred to an evaluation unit for evaluating the measurement signal of the sensor 3 using the calibration data. The system includes a housing 12 having at least two separate chambers 13, 14, wherein at least one sensor 3 is housed under sterile conditions in the first chamber 13, and the data carrier 11 is housed in the second chamber 14. When the housing 12 is adapted to an interface, the sensor 3 and the data carrier 11 are connected to the base station 2. The invention further relates to a packaging system for replaceable parts, and a method for packaging the sensor 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A control solution packet for calibrating a bodily fluid sampling device includes a container, a control solution pressurized within the container, and a membrane for covering and sealing the container. The control solution can be pressurized before or during calibration so as to ensure the appropriate amount of control solution is delivered to the bodily fluid sampling device. The control solution is manufactured to have a viscosity that controls delivery of the control solution to the device. The membrane is permeable by a piercing device of the bodily fluid sampling device and seals around the piercing device during calibration. In another aspect, the container is in the form of a capsule or dosing attachment that contains the control solution along with a sponge-like material.
Abstract:
A structured testing method (200, 300, 388) for diagnostic or therapy support of a patient (12) with a chronic disease and devices (18) thereof are disclosed, devices (18) implement the structured collection procedure (70) based on a medical use case and/or question which provides at least one or more parameters (220, 222, 224, 226, 228, 230, 232, 237, 238, 240) defining at least one entry criterion (226), a schedule of events (222), at least one adherence criterion (224), and at least one exit criterion (228). The entry criterion (226) establish conditions needed to be met prior to obtaining biomarker data (256) from the patient (12). Each event (237) in the schedule of events (222) can include at least one or more of a performance time (238), guidance (230) to perform the event (237), a request (240) for information from the patient (12), a request (240) for patient action, and a request (240) for collection of at least one type of biomarker data (256) from the patient (12). The adherence criterion (224) is used to assess qualitatively whether an event (237) performed according to the schedule of events (222) provided data (256, 170, 145) which is acceptable to addressing the medical use case and/or question, and the exit criterion (228) establishes conditions needed to be met prior to exiting the structured collection procedure (70).
Abstract:
Embodiments related to a system (41) and method (200, 300, 388, 400) managing the implementation, execution, data collection, and data analysis of a structured collection procedure (70) running on a portable, hand-held collection device (24) are disclosed. The collection device (24) performing the structured collection procedure (70) has program (34) instructions that when executed by a processor (102) causes the processor (102) to initiate automatically a schedule of events (222) of the structured collection procedure (70) upon one or more entry criterions (226) being met at some unknown time, store in memory (110) patient data (256, 170, 145) collected in accordance to the schedule of events (222), end automatically the structured collection procedure (70) upon one or more exit criterions (228) being met at some unknown time, and mark/indicate the structured collection procedure (70) as completed if no exception occurred during performance of an event (237) in the schedule of events (222).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a blood collection system for collecting blood for the purpose of analysis or diagnosis. The aim of the invention is to provide a system which allows the multiple use of lancets (5) stored in a lancet storage container (6) and which reduces the time until the pricking movement is carried out. For this purpose, a lancet tip protective element (13) is provided in a parking position for the lancets (5), which protective element mechanically and hygienically protects the lancet tips.
