SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ADDRESS AIR, LEAKS AND OCCLUSIONS IN AN INSULIN PUMP SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting an insulin infusion volume based air in an infusion set tube comprising:
- inputting at least one location and length of an air bubble along an infusion set tube;
determining an air bubble volume in the infusion set tube;
determining an insulin infusion volume based on a desired insulin infusion;
determining whether the desired insulin infusion would include the air bubble volume based on the inputted location and length of the air bubble; and
adding the air bubble volume to the insulin infusion volume to make an adjusted insulin infusion volume if the insulin infusion volume includes the air bubble based on the inputted location and length of the air bubble.

Abstract
A system and method for adjusting insulin infusion volume based on air in an infusion set tube includes inputting at least one location and length of an air bubble along the infusion set tube. An air bubble volume is determined in the infusion set tube. An insulin infusion volume is determined based on a desired insulin infusion. A determination is then made whether the desired insulin infusion would include the air bubble volume based on the inputted location and length of the air bubble. The air bubble volume is added to the insulin infusion volume to make an adjusted insulin infusion volume if the insulin infusion volume includes the air bubble.

13. A method for adjusting insulin infusion amount based on air bubbles comprising:
-
inputting at least one location and length of an air bubble along an infusion set tube; determining an insulin infusion length from a distal end of the insulin infusion set tube based on an insulin infusion volume; comparing the location of the air bubble with the insulin infusion length; adding an air bubble volume to the insulin infusion volume to make an adjusted insulin infusion volume if any part of the air bubble coincides with the insulin infusion length. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for adjusting insulin infusion amount based on air bubbles comprising:
-
an input configured to receive at least one location and length of an air bubble along an infusion set tube; and a controller including; an insulin infusion length determination module configured to determine an insulin infusion length from a distal end of the infusion set tube based on an insulin infusion volume, a comparison module configured to compare the location of the air bubble with the insulin infusion length, and an adjusted insulin infusion module configured to add an air bubble volume to the insulin infusion volume to make an adjusted infusion volume if the comparison module shows any part of the of the air bubble coincides with the insulin infusion length.
