20130165901 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING INSULIN THERAPY FOR A PATIENT - In example methods and systems described, insulin therapy for a patient can be determined. At least one of a short-acting subcutaneous insulin dosage recommendation, a correction subcutaneous insulin dosage recommendation, an intravenous insulin dosage recommendation, a recommended amount of carbohydrates to be administered to the patient, or combinations thereof, can be determined. In addition, information indicating a confirmation of a nutrition intake for the patient, and a long-acting insulin-on-board for the patient can be received, and based on this information, a required long-acting subcutaneous or intravenous insulin dosage for the patient can be determined. The short-acting subcutaneous or intravenous insulin dosage recommendation can be adjusted based, at least in part, on a difference between the long-acting insulin-on-board and the required long-acting subcutaneous or intravenous insulin dosage. | 06-27-2013 |

20140358081 | INFUSION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE WHICH PREVENTS OVER-SATURATION OF AN ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER - To detect air in a fluid delivery line of an infusion system, infusion fluid is pumped through a fluid delivery line adjacent to at least one sensor. A signal is transmitted and received using the at least one sensor into and from the fluid delivery line. The at least one sensor is operated, using at least one processor, at a modified frequency which is different than a resonant frequency of the at least one sensor to reduce an amplitude of an output of the signal transmitted from the at least one sensor to a level which is lower than a saturation level of the analog-to-digital converter to avoid over-saturating the analog-to-digital converter. The signal received by the at least one sensor is converted from analog to digital using an analog-to-digital converter. The at least one processor determines whether air is in the fluid delivery line based on the converted digital signal. | 12-04-2014 |

20130046508 | PATTERN RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF STUCK FLUID DROPLETS IN A FLUID DELIVERY LINE OF AN INFUSION SYSTEM - An infusion system includes a pump, a fluid delivery line, a sensor, a processor, and a memory. The fluid delivery line is connected to the pump for delivering fluid. The sensor is connected to the fluid delivery line for emitting and receiving signals to detect whether there is air in the fluid delivery line. The processor is in electronic communication with the pump and the sensor. The memory is in electronic communication with the processor. The memory includes programming code for execution by the processor. The programming code is configured to analyze the signals to determine if a stuck fluid droplet is stuck within the fluid delivery line at a location of the sensor. | 02-21-2013 |
20130085689 | FROTH DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - An infusion system includes a pump, a fluid delivery line, at least one sensor, a processor, and a memory. The fluid delivery line is connected to the pump for delivering fluid. The at least one sensor is connected to the fluid delivery line for emitting and receiving signals to detect whether there is air in the fluid delivery line. The processor is in electronic communication with the pump and the at least one sensor. The memory is in electronic communication with the processor. The memory comprises programming code for execution by the processor. The programming code is configured to determine a percentage of the air within an observed volume of the fluid delivery line. | 04-04-2013 |
