Ambulatory insulin infusion system with bolus administration delay
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An ambulatory insulin infusion system, comprising:
- an administration module for insulin administration, wherein the administration module administers insulin continuously according to a basal profile and a bolus on demand, the bolus having a bolus amount;
a data collection module for collecting data relevant for the bolus amount, wherein the data collection module is operatively coupled to the administration module; and
a delay module operatively coupled to the administration module and the data collection module, wherein the delay module triggers administration of the bolus automatically by the administration module upon expiry of a therapeutically significant delay interval started by the delay module after the data is collected by the data collection module, wherein the delay module is designed to also trigger the administration of the bolus in the delay interval upon receipt of an acknowledgment user input.

Abstract
In one embodiment, an ambulatory insulin infusion system may include an administration module for insulin administration, a data collection module for collecting data relevant for the bolus amount, and a delay module. The administration module may administer insulin continuously according to a basal profile and a bolus on demand. The bolus has a bolus amount. The data collection module may be operatively coupled to the administration module. The delay module may trigger administration of the bolus a therapeutically significant delay interval after the data is collected.

15. An ambulatory insulin infusion system, comprising:
-
an administration module for insulin administration, wherein the administration module administers insulin continuously according to a basal profile and a bolus on demand, the bolus having a bolus amount; a data collection module; a delay module operatively coupled to the administration module and the data collection module and which is configured to start automatically a therapeutically significant delay interval after collecting the data by the data collection module, wherein the delay module triggers the administration of the bolus and the data collection module collects further data relevant for the bolus amount after the therapeutically significant delay interval ends, and the delay module also triggers the administration of the bolus by the administration module upon receipt of an acknowledgement user input during the therapeutically significant delay interval; and a bolus determination module that determines the bolus amount based, at least in part, on at least one of the data and the further data.

16. A method for ambulatory insulin infusion, comprising:
-
administering insulin substantially continuously according to a basal profile via an administration module; collecting a blood glucose value via a data collection module; starting automatically a therapeutically significant delay interval after the blood glucose value is collected via a delay module; determining, automatically with a processor that is operatively coupled to the administration module, the data collection module and the delay module, a bolus amount of insulin based, at least in part, on the blood glucose value received from the data collection module; administering, via the administration module, the bolus amount of insulin, automatically, upon one of;
after the therapeutically significant delay interval expires, and receipt of an acknowledgement user input during the therapeutically significant delay interval. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
