Abstract
An ambulatory medical device can detect a device condition and determine if the device condition satisfies a set of normal operating parameters. If the normal operating parameters are not satisfied, the ambulatory medical device can determine if the device condition stratifies a set of minimum operating parameters. If the minimum operating parameters are satisfied, the ambulatory medical device can maintain a delivery of therapy to a subject and generate an alert based on the device condition.
Claims21
A glucose level control system configured to generate a dose output for administration of medicament to a subject, the glucose level control system comprising:
- a memory configured to store specific computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a hardware processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute the specific computer-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a device condition of the glucose level control system;
- determining that the device condition does not satisfy a set of normal operating parameters for the glucose level control system indicating an occurrence of a malfunction of the glucose level control system, wherein the set of normal operating parameters enable the glucose level control system to provide a set of therapy related features supported by the glucose level control system;
- determining that the device condition satisfies a set of minimum operating parameters, wherein the set of minimum operating parameters are sufficient to permit the glucose level control system to generate a dose output for administration of medicament to a subject, wherein the set of minimum operating parameters differs from the set of normal operating parameters, and wherein the set of minimum operating parameters enable the glucose level control system to provide a subset of the set of therapy related features supported by the glucose level control system;
- and
- responsive to determining that the device condition satisfies the set of minimum operating parameters, the hardware processor is further configured to execute the specific computer-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- maintaining the generation of the dose output by the glucose level control system,
- wherein maintaining the generation of the dose output comprises a same rate of therapy administration to the subject, a reduced rate of therapy administration to the subject, or a minimum rate of therapy administration to the subject.
A computer-implemented method of managing a non-critical malfunction of a glucose level control system configured to generate a dose output for administration of medicament to a subject, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- by a processor of a glucose level control system configured to generate a dose output for administration of medicament to a subject,
- detecting a device condition of the glucose level control system;
- determining that the device condition does not satisfy a set of normal operating parameters for the glucose level control system indicating an occurrence of a malfunction of the glucose level control system, wherein the set of normal operating parameters enable the glucose level control system to provide a set of therapy related features supported by the glucose level control system;
- determining that the device condition satisfies a set of minimum operating parameters, wherein the set of minimum operating parameters are sufficient to permit the glucose level control system to generate the dose output, wherein the set of minimum operating parameters differs from the set of normal operating parameters, and wherein the set of minimum operating parameters enable the glucose level control system to provide a subset of the set of therapy related features supported by the glucose level control system, and
- responsive to determining that the device condition satisfies the set of minimum operating parameters,
- maintaining the generation of the dose output by the glucose level control system,
- wherein maintaining the generation of the dose output comprises a same rate of therapy administration to the subject, a reduced rate of therapy administration to the subject, or a minimum rate of therapy administration to the subject.
