Infusion pump system

摘要

Some embodiments of a portable infusion pump system can be configured to adjust the sensitivity of particular detectors or alert systems based (at least in part) on information received from a monitoring device. For example, a glucose monitoring device can communication with an infusion pump assembly used to supply insulin or another medication to a user. In such circumstances, the data received from the monitoring device can be used to adjust the sensitivity of an occlusion detection system.

主权项

1. An insulin infusion pump system, comprising:
a portable pump housing that defines an internal space to receive an insulin medicine for dispensation to a user; control circuitry configured to operate an occlusion detection system to detect a fluid condition in a flow path extending from the insulin medicine in the internal space to a user, the occlusion detection system having an adjustable sensitivity, wherein the control circuitry is configured to output an occlusion alarm to the user when an occlusion is detected in the flow path; and a monitoring device configured to communicate glucose information to the control circuitry, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user, wherein the sensitivity of the occlusion detection system is adjusted in response to the glucose information received by the control circuitry from the monitoring device.
