Home diabetes therapy requires the affected person to carry out a prescribed regimen that includes self-testing blood glucose levels and administering an appropriate dose of insulin. Insulin has traditionally been injected by a hypodermic syringe, which suffers from numerous drawbacks. For example, syringes usually are not preloaded with medicine, requiring the person to carry a separate medical vial. Syringes additionally require a degree of dexterity and adequate visible acuity on the a part of the patient to line up the needle of the syringe with the rubber septum on the medical vial and to make sure that the syringe is loaded with the right dosage. As a result, unintentional needle pricks commonly occur. Such delivery pens use prepackaged insulin and could also be used repeatedly till the treatment is exhausted. Mechanical and digital pens can be found to the patient. Glucose levels are monitored at periodic intervals to find out when one other insulin injection must be taken or to find out how the user is responding to prior injections.
To monitor wireless blood oxygen check glucose levels the patient is required to have available a lancer, BloodVitals SPO2 check strips and BloodVitals SPO2 device a blood glucose monitor. U.S. Patent No. 5,279,294 to Anderson et al. The monitor and lancer are integrated in the housing. The lancer is just not an independent component operably distinct from the housing. Rather, the housing features a spring-actuated hammer for driving a disposable lancet. Because the lancer is integrated with the housing, it can't be removed and used individually from the housing. U.S. Patent No. 5,536,249 to Castellano et al. The pen and monitor aren't independent items and BloodVitals tracker thus cannot be used individually from one another. FIGS. 1-3 exhibits an exemplary embodiment of a diagnostic and remedy delivery system 100 constructed in accordance with the current invention. 100 conveniently integrates a medicine delivery pen, blood glucose monitor, and lancer into a single portable unit. 102 could have an general rectangular footprint and the upper and decrease surfaces 116 and 118 could also be planar or, alternatively, may have either concave or convex curvatures.
The curvatures of the higher and lower surfaces 116 and BloodVitals SPO2 118 need not match each other. 102 gives mounting areas for a remedy supply pen, lancer, BloodVitals SPO2 and glucose monitoring meter. 104 is configured to obtain a lancer 108 so that the lancer engages and slides in the lancer compartment in a fashion that enables it to be easily inserted and BloodVitals SPO2 removed. 106 is configured to obtain a remedy delivery pen 110. When inserted in their respective compartments, a portion of the physique of the lancer and pen are exposed in order that they're readily accessible to the consumer. 102 wherein the lancet of the lancer and BloodVitals home monitor the needle of the pen are to be situated. 102 gives safety to the needle of the pen, eliminating the necessity for a separate pen cap. 110 could also be of any type identified to these of unusual skill within the artwork. To inject the dose of treatment, the user inserts the needle below the skin and depresses the knob as soon as as far as it can depress.
The information can be displayed on a show situated on the pen. 126 to a pc or different electronic storage device so that it may be subsequently reviewed by the consumer or a health professional. 126 to put in, for instance, up to date software program. Examples of remedy delivery pens that may be employed in the present invention are disclosed in U.S. 108 may be of any sort identified to these of abnormal talent in the art. 108 will usually embody an actuator similar to a button for actuating a mechanism that displaces a disposable lancet. The mechanism also returns the lancet to its initial place after it has been inserted into the finger of the consumer. 124 situated on the housing 102 is coupled to the electronic circuitry for BloodVitals monitor transferring data to or BloodVitals SPO2 from an external gadget equivalent to a pc, phone jack or BloodVitals SPO2 a communication community. 106 the show displays the blood glucose information.
