Devices and methods for malfunctions recognition in a therapeutic dispensing device
First Claim
1. A system for determining a problem in a fluid delivery device, the system comprising:
- a sensor configured to monitor at least one parameter associated with operation of the fluid delivery device; and
a controller configured to;
activate a motor of the fluid delivery device;
detect an occurrence of a problem in fluid delivery based on one or more first sensor signals generated by the sensor when the motor is activated in a first direction, the one or more first sensor signals being representative of the at least one parameter monitored when the motor is activated in the first direction; and
determine a type of the detected problem based on one or more second sensor signals generated by the sensor when the motor is activated in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction, the one or more second sensor signals being representative of the at least one parameter monitored when the motor is activated in the second direction;
wherein the one or more first and second sensor signals comprise a number of rotations of the motor or a power consumption of the motor.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods, including a system that includes a sensor configured to monitor at least one parameter associated with operation of the fluid delivery device, and a controller. The controller is configured to activate a motor of the fluid delivery device, detect an occurrence of a problem in fluid delivery based on one or more first sensor signals generated by the sensor when the motor is activated in a first direction, the one or more first sensor signals representative of the at least one parameter monitored in the first direction, and determine a type of the detected problem based on one or more second sensor signals generated by the sensor when the motor is activated in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction, the one or more second sensor signals representative of the at least one parameter monitored in the second direction.
