Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable ambulatory fluid delivery device. The device includes a dispensing unit to dispense therapeutic fluid, the dispensing unit including one or more rechargeable batteries, a housing to retain the one or more rechargeable batteries, a reservoir to contain the therapeutic fluid, a driving mechanism to cause delivery of the therapeutic fluid from the reservoir to a user's body, and at least one electrical connector to be coupled to a recharging unit to direct electrical power received from the recharging unit to recharge the one or more rechargeable batteries. At least a portion of the housing is securable to a skin of the user.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, devices, systems and computer program products for communicating between at least one unit of a therapeutic fluid dispensing device and at least another unit of the dispensing device. The method includes performing a determination whether a first frequency can be used to transmit a message related to operations of the dispensing device, and transmitting the message based on the determination.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems, devices and articles, including a method for adaptive wireless communication transmissions between units of an ambulatory portable medical device. The method includes obtaining data relating to wireless transmissions between the units of the medical device, and setting one or more attributes of wireless transmission of one or more messages between the units of the medical device based, at least in part, on the obtained data.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems methods and devices, including a system that includes a dispensing unit to dispense therapeutic fluid and a remote control (900) to control, at least in part, operation of the dispensing unit. The remote control (900) includes a rechargeable power source to power at least part of the remote control, at least one connector (86) to electrically couple the remote control (900) to at least one other power source located externally to the remote control, and a controller to cause the remote control to receive power from one or more of the rechargeable power source and/or the other power source. Also disclosed is a power device (400) for powering a remote control of a dispensing system. The power device includes at least one connector (409) to electrically couple the remote control (900) to at least one power source and a portable housing (401) including a chamber to receive the at least one power source.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for delivering therapeutic fluid to a patient's body are described. The devices may comprise a dispensing unit having a reservoir, a driving mechanism having a movable member for delivering therapeutic fluid to a patient's body, at least one sensor for sensing a relative position of the movable member and generating a signal, and a processor for controlling the driving mechanism to deliver an amount of therapeutic fluid that compensates for a change in the flow of the therapeutic fluid occurring during fluid delivery. The methods may be implemented by operating the driving mechanism, receiving a signal based on the position of the movable member, determining an amount of therapeutic fluid to deliver, and controlling the driving mechanism to deliver an amount of fluid that compensates for a change in flow occurring during fluid delivery.
