Method and Apparatus for Computer Controlled Metering of Liquid Medicaments in the Event of a Time Shift
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operation of a metering apparatus for liquid medicaments with a computer-aided control in the event of a travel-dependent shift in the local time, comprising the steps of:
- a) controlling the metering apparatus with the control at a first location with a first local time (t1) such that it automatically delivers the liquid medicament in accordance with a first diurnal profile of delivery;
b) moving the metering apparatus to a second location with a second local time (t2), which is shifted by a first time shift with respect to the first local time (t1); and
c) controlling the metering apparatus with the control directly subsequent to the delivery in accordance with the first diurnal profile of delivery on a temporary basis such that it automatically delivers the liquid medicament in accordance with at least one further diurnal profile of delivery which differs from the first diurnal profile of delivery and from the first diurnal profile of delivery shifted by the first time shift, wherein the at least one further diurnal profile of delivery is determined by the control in dependence on the first time shift.

Abstract
A computer-aided insulin pump by which a basal delivery profile can be automatically adapted in steps in the event of a travel-dependent time shift, in that the local time at the destination is communicated to the pump controller which uses the time, in accordance with a stored algorithm, to calculate one or more changeover delivery profiles which are then temporarily used for automatic control of the insulin pump until the changeover of time has been completed.

- 29. A metering apparatus for liquid medicaments, comprising a feed device for moving the liquid medicament and a controller comprising a computer for automatically controlling the feed device in accordance with at least one profile of delivery.
- 33. A metering apparatus for liquid medicaments, comprising a feed device for feeding the liquid medicament and a computer-aided control for automatic control of the feed device in accordance with a first diurnal profile of delivery stored in the control, wherein in the event of a first time shift, at least one further diurnal profile of delivery which differs from the first diurnal profile of delivery and from the first diurnal profile of delivery which has been shifted by the first time shift can be determined in dependence on the first time shift and the feed device is automatically controlled by the control in accordance with the at least one further diurnal profile of delivery.
