Method and medical device for adjusting dose of fluid medicament
First Claim
1. A method for delivering at least one fluid medicament from a medical device comprising a first reservoir containing a first fluid medicament, a second reservoir containing a second fluid, a fluid element connected to said first reservoir and said second reservoir and through which said first fluid medicament is to be ejected, and a control unit, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the control unit, information about a desired dose of said first fluid medicament to be ejected,in response to receiving the information about the desired dose of said first fluid medicament, the control unit receiving information about a content of said fluid element,wherein the information about said content of said fluid element comprises at least one of an amount of first fluid medicament remaining in the fluid element after a previous ejection from said first reservoir and an amount of second fluid remaining in the fluid element after a previous ejection from said second reservoir,automatically adjusting said desired dose to an adjusted dose to be ejected from said first reservoir based at least in part on said information about the content of said fluid element, wherein the adjustment is performed by the control unit, andejecting said adjusted dose from said first reservoir through said fluid element.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for delivering at least one fluid medicament from a medical device. The invention also relates to a medical device. The technical problem of improving the dose accuracy is solved by a method for delivering at least one fluid medicament from a medical device comprising a first reservoir containing a first fluid medicament, a second reservoir containing a fluid, and a fluid element connected to said first reservoir and said second reservoir. The method comprises receiving information about a desired dose of the first fluid medicament to be ejected, adjusting said dose to be ejected from said first reservoir based at least in part on information about a content of said fluid element, and ejecting said adjusted dose from said first reservoir through said fluid element. The technical problem is further solved by a medical device configured to work according to the method.

12. A medical device, comprising:
-
a first reservoir containing a first fluid medicament and a second reservoir containing a second fluid, a fluid element connected to said first reservoir and said second reservoir and through which said first fluid medicament is to be ejected, and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to receive information about a desired dose of said first fluid medicament to be ejected, wherein the control unit is further configured to, in response to receiving the information about the desired dose of said first fluid medicament, receive information about a content of said fluid element, wherein the information about said content of said fluid element comprises at least one of an amount of first fluid medicament remaining in the fluid element after a previous ejection from said first reservoir and an amount of second fluid remaining in the fluid element after a previous ejection from said second reservoir, wherein the control unit is further configured to adjust said desired dose to an adjusted dose to be ejected from said first reservoir based at least in part on said information about the content of said fluid element, and wherein said first reservoir and said fluid element are configured to eject the adjusted dose. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
