Portable drug administration device and method for controlling a portable drug administration device
First Claim
1. A portable drug administration device for a user comprising:
- a pump;
a controller configured to control operation of the pump according to a standard administration mode and a suspend mode in which drug administration is temporarily suspended;
whereinthe device is configured to generate an event trigger based on the occurrence of an error condition of the drug administration device or a beginning of a maintenance action on the device by the user, the error condition including at least one of a device error, a blocked infusion cannula, a leakage, and an exhausted power cell;
the controller is configured to detect the occurrence of the event trigger, and to store, in response to the event trigger, administration data, the administration data comprising all information that characterizes the current administration at the time of occurrence of the event trigger automatically in a memory and to automatically switch the device from the standard administration mode to the suspend mode; and
the controller is further configured to detect the occurrence of a restoring trigger generated upon recovery from the error condition or completion of the maintenance action, and to retrieve, in response to the restoring trigger, the administration data from the memory, and to automatically switch the device from the suspend mode to the standard administration mode and to control the pump to resume administration according to the retrieved administration data.

Abstract
A portable drug administration device includes a pump and a controller configured to control operation of the pump according to a standard administration mode and a suspend mode in which drug administration is temporarily suspended. The device is configured to generate an event trigger on the occurrence of at least one of an error condition and/or the beginning of a maintenance action by the user. The controller is configured to detect the occurrence of the event trigger, and to store, in response to the event trigger, administration data, the administration data comprising all information that characterizes the current administration according at the time of occurrence of the event trigger automatically in a memory and to switch the device from the standard administration mode to the suspend mode. The controller is further configured to detect the occurrence of a restoring trigger and to retrieve, in response to the restoring trigger, the administration data from the memory, to switch the device from the suspend mode to the standard administration mode and to control the pump to resume administration according to the retrieved administration data.

12. A method for controlling a portable drug administration device used with a user, comprising:
-
detecting an event trigger resulting from the occurrence of an error condition of the drug administration device or a beginning of a maintenance action on the device by the user, the error condition including at least one of a device error, a blocked infusion cannula, a leakage, and an exhausted power cell; automatically storing, in response to an event trigger, administration data indicative of a current administration status in a memory and automatically switching the device from a standard administration mode to a suspend mode; detecting the occurrence of a restoring trigger generated upon recovery from the error condition or completion of the maintenance action; and retrieving, in response to the restoring trigger, administration data from the memory, and automatically switching the device from the suspend mode to the standard administration mode and resuming administration in accordance with the retrieved administration data. - View Dependent Claims (13)
