Infusion Pump System and Methods

摘要

Some embodiments an infusion pump system can provide a suggested bolus dosage based on particular parameters (e.g., the user's recent blood glucose characteristics, food intake data, an amount of insulin already delivered to the user which has not yet acted on the user, or other factors). In some circumstances, the infusion pump system can receive information indicative of the user's blood glucose level and suggest an insulin bolus dosage that is at least partially dependent upon the recent rate of change in the user's blood glucose level. Such a feature can be helpful to a user when the infusion pump is operated in conjunction with a glucose monitoring device because the suggested bolus dosage can be at least partially based on recent data indicative of the user's blood glucose level.

主权项

1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising:
a portable pump housing that receives insulin for dispensation to a user, the pump housing at least partially containing a pump drive system to dispense the insulin through a flow path to the user; a controller that communicates with the pump drive system to dispense the insulin from the portable pump housing; and a monitoring device that communicates glucose information to the controller, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user, wherein the controller displays a suggested bolus dosage in response to user input, the suggested bolus dosage being at least partially dependent upon both the blood glucose level of the user and a rate of change to the blood glucose level of the user.
