Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/531,659, filed on Sep. 13, 2006, which is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/EP2005/002696, filed on Mar. 14, 2005, which claims priority to German Application No. 10 2004 013 415.4, filed on Mar. 18, 2004, the contents of both of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein.
- The present invention relates to devices for administering, delivering, injecting, infusing or dispensing substances, and methods of making and using such devices. More particularly, it relates to a portable device for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses, e.g., for the administering and/or monitoring the administration of a medical product, wherein the device is provided with a display for displaying or indicating operational and functional parameters of the device.
- In medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic treatment methods, it is often necessary for a treatment device to be carried on the user's person. For treatment of diabetes, for example, the patient carries an insulin pump, so as to be able to check and meet his or her insulin requirements. To monitor the function of the pump, the insulin requirement, the insulin delivery and various other parameters, insulin pumps typically have a display for these operational and functional parameters. Insulin pumps also usually can be controlled by an associated or integrated control unit comprising several control elements that perform different functions. The control or modification of the pump setting, initiated by the control elements, is indicated on the display by way of corresponding operational and functional parameters.
- Devices such as insulin pumps can be carried in different ways on the body, for example, fastened to a belt. The display and the control elements are arranged on the device in such a way that they allow the device to be read and operated when the device is being worn on the left-hand side of the body, so that it can be operated without difficulty by the right hand. However, if the device is worn on the right-hand side of the body, to operate it with the left hand the arrangement of the control elements is not suitable for simple, optimal operation and/or comfort. It is possible to turn the device through 180° so that the control elements are once again easy to reach. In this case, however, the display is difficult to read, since it is the wrong way around for the person wearing the device.
- From other technical fields, data-processing units are known which, with the aid of a position sensor, measure the position of the data-processing unit with respect to a reference system, for example on the basis of gravity, and modify a display on a display field in accordance with the measured position. Such a data-processing unit is known from WO 014 3473, for example.
- It is an object of the present invention to make available a portable device for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses, which device can be easily operated and affords a high level of user comfort. In particular, in some embodiments, the device is to be able to be adapted so that it can be worn at different positions and in different orientations with respect to a user. It is a further object of the present invention to make available a method by which a display on a portable device can be easily read at different orientations of the device, i.e., by which the display on the device can be adapted to a specific orientation of the device.
- In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a device comprising a display for displaying operational and/or functional parameters of the device and a control unit with at least one control element for controlling the display and/or device, wherein the display is at least partly movable or rotatable with respect to the device, and/or wherein the position of the at least one control element is modifiable or changeable with respect to the device. In some embodiments, the control functions of at least two control elements of the device are interchangeable. In some embodiments, the display is provided by data sent to the display at intervals, whereby the display is updated. In embodiments in which several display parts are rotatable, data is processed by a processing module prior to being sent to the display.

- In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a device comprising a display for displaying at least operational and functional parameters of the device and a control unit comprising at least one control element, wherein the display is at least partially rotatable with respect to a housing of the device. In one embodiment, a position of the at least one control element with respect to the housing can be changed, and/or a function of the at least one control element can be changed.
- In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a device for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses, which is portable and comprises a display for operational and/or functional parameters of the device and a control unit provided with at least one control element, in which the display is at least partially rotatable with respect to a housing of the device, and/or a position of the at least one control element with respect to the housing of the device can be changed, or a function of the at least one control element can be changed.
- In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a method for rotating at least part of a display for operational and/or functional parameters of a device for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses, the display comprising a display field and a processing module, the method comprising the steps of generating a display on the display field by means of data for the display being sent at regular time intervals from a memory to the display field, the display thus being updated at the regular time intervals, and rotating at least one part of the display, the data from the memory being processed by the processing module in accordance with the rotating before being sent to the display field.
- According to some embodiments of the present invention, a device for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses is designed to be portable. The device may be worn on a user's body so that it is not outwardly visible, or it can be placed in a pocket. However, it is also possible to carry the device about and to set it down in a fixed location, for example in proximity to the user. The present invention can also be applied to devices that are provided for controlling another fixed device for medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic or other purposes, so as to be able to operate said further device remotely.
- In some embodiments, a portable device in accordance with the present invention comprises a display for observing, viewing or monitoring operational and/or functional parameters of the device. From the display, the user is therefore able to read, for example, the operational settings of the device or treatment data and default settings. In some preferred embodiments, the display is formed by several display parts on a display field, such as an electronic display. The several display parts can indicate the various parameters of the device. For example, display parts may be provided for indicating the time, date, battery charge status, dose volume of a product to be administered from the device, or the number of product doses already delivered. In some embodiments, the display is preferably formed as an electronic illuminated display, for example as an LCD, LED or OLED array.
- In some embodiments, the portable device further comprises a control unit with at least one, preferably several control elements for controlling the display and/or the device. In the case of several control elements, the different control elements each perform another function. For example, a control element can be provided which, for changing an operational or functional parameter, selects the corresponding parameter on the display. By means of two further control elements, for example in the form of a step-up button and a step-down button, it is then possible to correct the selected parameter upward or downward in quantity. For example, by actuating the step-up button, a product dose can be increased, and, by actuating the step-down button, a product dose can be reduced. The corresponding change in the product dose is displayed on the display by the display part for the dose volume.
- According to some embodiments of the present invention, the display is at least partially rotatable with respect to a housing of the device, i.e., either the whole display or parts of the display are rotatable relative to the housing of the device. For this purpose, the display can be arranged on a display unit which is mechanically rotatable relative to the device housing. The display unit can, for example, be mounted rotatably or pivotably on the device housing and carry the display field. By rotating the display unit relative to the device housing, the display field with the display is likewise rotated with respect to the device housing.
- In some preferred embodiments, the display with the several display parts is indicated on a display field which is fixed on the housing of the device. For this purpose, for example, a display is arranged directly on a side face of the housing. For rotation at least of one display part, this display part, for instance the quantity of the selected dose volume, is rotated on the display field. The different display parts of the display may also be displaceable on the display field.
- In some embodiments, in addition to rotating the display or also, according to the present invention, instead of rotating the display, it is possible for the positions of at least two control elements to be modified or interchanged with respect to the device housing. For this purpose, it is possible for the control unit to be formed at least partially by a control means on which the control elements to be changed or interchanged are arranged and which is mechanically movable, e.g., rotatable, relative to the device housing. The control unit with the control elements can be mounted fixedly on the portable device, i.e., it is not detachable, but is nevertheless able to be rotated, pivoted or displaced relative to the device housing. By displacing or rotating the control unit, the position of the control elements arranged on the control means changes relative to the housing or the portable device. In doing so, in some embodiments, the control means is rotated relative to the device until a first control element has adopted the original position of a second control element and until the second control element has adopted the original position of the first control element, so that the positions of the control elements are interchanged. It is also possible, however, to bring the control means into any desired other setting, by which the position of the control elements is only changed.
- It is also possible, in some embodiments of the present invention, to arrange the control elements fixedly relative to the portable device and to change only the function of a control element with the function of another control element. Interchanging the function of control elements can be done, for example, by a control element itself or by a menu item in a control menu for the device. Accordingly, for example, the buttons for a step-up or step-down function remain in principle at the same position or location on the device housing. However, after being interchanged, the original step-up button takes over the step-down function, and the original step-down button takes over the step-up function. It is of course also possible, in principle, for more than two control functions of control elements to be interchanged.
- In some embodiments, the advantages of the present invention can be exploited either by simply rotating parts of the display or by changing or interchanging control elements relative to the device housing or interchanging the control functions of control elements. In some embodiments, it is advantageous, however, to use several possibilities of rotation, modification or interchanging, for example simultaneous rotation of the display and interchange of control functions.
- In some preferred embodiments, in the control unit, one control element can be provided as a two-state or multi-state switch or continuous switch or a menu item in the control menu, by which the display is rotated through 180° relative to the device housing and/or the function of control elements is interchanged, in some preferred embodiments, at the same time. In this way, by a single press of a button, a device can be prepared to be worn in a position rotated through 180°. In some embodiments, by using a continuous switch, the display can be rotated steplessly with respect to its rotation angle orientation.
- In some embodiments, a square electronic display is used. By such a square display, it is possible to retain the arrangement of display parts on the display field when the device or display is rotated through 90° or 180°.
- In some embodiments, the rotating of the display and the changing or interchanging of control elements or control functions can take place manually, for example via a control element, in other embodiments, they can take place automatically. In a configuration for automatic rotation or interchanging, in one embodiment, the device comprises a sensor which measures the orientation of the device with respect to a reference system, e.g., with respect to the user. The rotation or interchanging of control elements then takes place in accordance with the sensor measurement, for example by a control signal emitted from the sensor. In some embodiments, the sensor can be a gravity sensor or a magnetic field sensor for the earth's gravity field or magnetic field.
- With the aid of the invention, a portable medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic device can be adapted to specific requirements of the user. It is thus possible, for example, for a left-handed person to take a device provided in principle for right-handed persons and to adapt it to individual requirements. It is therefore possible for a user to wear the device in what is a comfortable position, but without having to compromise on operating comfort.
- In some embodiments, the present invention is provided, for example, for infusion pumps, e.g., insulin pumps. However, it is also advantageous, for example, for injection pens which are intended to be suitable for use both for left-handed and right-handed persons. Inhalers are further examples of administration devices for which the present invention is advantageous. The invention is also suitable, for example, for measurement devices for various physical parameters of a user, for example for measuring blood sugar levels.
- In one embodiment, the present invention comprise a method for rotating at least parts of a display for displaying operational and/or functional parameters of a device for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic uses. The device comprises a display field on which the display is shown, and a processing module. In one embodiment of the method, a display is generated on the display field by data, the data being sent at regular time intervals from a memory to the display field. The current data of a display are called up at regular intervals from the memory, and the display is updated according to this data. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the display is not disturbed by impacts or other influences which, for example, could render it incomplete or illegible. To be able to perform a rotation of at least parts of the display on the display field, the data are called up from the memory by the processing module and are processed in accordance with a desired rotation, before being sent to the display field. The processed data for a rotated display are stored in the memory, so that subsequently these data can be sent at regular intervals from the memory to the display field.
- In some embodiments, the processing of the data for the display by the processing module can be triggered by a manual input, for example via a control element of the device, or by a menu item in the control menu of the device. It is also possible to provide the device with a sensor for measuring the orientation of the device with respect to a reference system, which sensor emits a signal to the processing module that triggers the processing of the data. In some embodiments, the processing module may comprise a microprocessor, computer or the the like which calls up the data for the display from the memory and sends it to the display field. When the microprocessor receives a signal from an orientation measurement sensor or from a control element, the microprocessor calls up the data for the display from the memory, processes it according to a desired rotation, and then sends them to the display field.
- In some embodiments, to generate the display on the display field, lines of the display field are successively filled from top left to bottom right according to the data from the memory. To generate a rotation of the display, the data from the memory are modified such that the lines of the display field are successively filled from bottom right to top left. In this way, a rotation through 180° is generated, for example. It is also possible to modify the data from the memory in such a way that the display field is no longer filled line by line, but instead column by column from top to bottom or from bottom to top. This results, for example, in a rotation through 90°. For this purpose, a square display field is advantageously used, for example a display with 96×96 pixels. The processing of the data from the memory for a desired rotation of the display is carried out in the microprocessor on the basis of a data-processing program which, for example, defines in which sequence the pixels of the display are to be filled. Two or more identical microprocessors may be provided in one device so that, if one microprocessor fails, it is possible to guarantee the display of the data essential to the user.
- It is also possible, in principle, to use a conventional display module in which there is a program for rotation of a display according to the prior art. Such a module can, for example, be connected directly to a control element and the display.

FIG. 4 shows another illustrative embodiment of a device in accordance with the present invention in a first orientation, -
FIG. 5 shows the device ofFIG. 4 in an orientation in which it has been rotated through 180° relative to the first orientation, and -
FIG. 6 shows the device of ofFIG. 4 in a rear view. -
FIG. 1 shows a portable device in the form of an insulin pump which has adisplay field 2 on a side face of a housing of the device. Thedisplay field 2 contains a display withseveral display parts 3. In a first row on thedisplay field 2,display parts 3 are provided for the time, battery operation and date. A second row contains a display part in the form of a bar chart for visual presentation of a selected volume of an insulin dose and the numerical quantity of the dose units delivered per hour. The insulin pump also has a control unit which comprises several control elements, in this illustrative embodiment fourcontrol elements control elements display field 2 on the side face of thehousing 1 and are used, for example, for selecting thevarious display parts 3. Thecontrol elements housing 1 of the insulin pump. The function of thecontrol element 7 is one by which the display part selected by thecontrol elements display part 3, is 10 increased upward or in a forward direction, such that thecontrol element 7 represents a step-up button. By contrast, the function of thecontrol element 6 is one by which the parameter of the selecteddisplay part 3 is modified downward or backward. Thecontrol element 6 therefore forms a step-down button. - In
FIG. 2 , the insulin pump fromFIG. 1 is shown in an orientation in which it has been turned through 180°. Thedisplay parts 3 of thedisplay field 2 are likewise turned through 180° according to the rotation of the insulin pump. For changing the positions of thecontrol elements control element 7 fromFIG. 1 and the step-down function of thecontrol element 6 fromFIG. 1 have been interchanged. In this way, after the insulin pump has been rotated, thecontrol element 7 fromFIG. 1 serves, inFIG. 2 , ascontrol element 6′ and provides the step-down function. Similarly, after rotation, thecontrol element 6 fromFIG. 1 provides the step-up function and thus forms, inFIG. 2 , thecontrol element 7′. According to the invention, the functions of thecontrol elements FIG. 1 have been interchanged via a microprocessor (including any suitable hardware and/or software), for example, so that inFIG. 2 they each perform the respective other function. Therefore, the position of a control element for a defined function is also interchanged after rotation of the insulin pump. That is to say, inFIG. 1 thecontrol element 7 arranged at the edge of the side face forms the step-up button and, inFIG. 2 , thecontrol element 7′ arranged in the central area of the side face forms the step-up button. -
FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the method according to the invention. Accordingly, to generate the display on the display field, data for the display are called up at regular time intervals from a memory by a microprocessor, which serves as processing module (including any suitable hardware and/or software), and are sent to the display field. To execute a rotation at least of parts of the display, the microprocessor receives a signal from an orientation measurement sensor or from a control element. The microprocessor then processes the data called up from the memory in accordance with a desired rotation and sends the processed data for a rotated display to the display field, by which means the display appears in a rotated orientation. -
FIG. 4 shows a portable device in the form of an injection pen, such as those that may be used for administering insulin or other substances. The injection pen has aslender housing 1 which, like thehousing 1 of the pump, contains a reservoir with a product to be administered, and also a delivery means for delivering the product. Adosing button 8 protrudes from a proximal end of thehousing 1. Anoptical display field 2 in the form of a flat screen is arranged in a proximal portion of thehousing 1. The product dose selected by means of thedosing button 8 is displayed in thedisplay field 2. As in the first illustrative embodiment, thedisplay field 2 is segmented in the manner of known illuminated displays for showing numbers. The dose-selector button 8 can be rotated about a longitudinal axis of the device for selecting the product dose, and can be moved axially along the longitudinal axis for actuating the delivery means.FIG. 4 shows the device in a state in which the dose can be selected. In this dose-selector state, the dose-selector button 8 takes up a proximal end position relative to the housing. The dose-selector movement can be executed only in the proximal end position. When the dose-selector button 8 is moved in the distal direction up to a distal end position, the selected dose is dispensed. - In the state shown in
FIG. 4 , the device is set up for people who are right-handed. In the reading direction, the proximal (rear) end of thehousing 1 is situated proximally (rearwardly) from thedisplay field 2, the reading direction running from distal (front) to proximal (rear). -
FIG. 5 shows the device of the second illustrative embodiment in a state for people who are left-handed. To operate the dose-selector button 8, the device is rotated, relative to the orientation shown inFIG. 4 , through 180° about an axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis. Accordingly, thedisplay field 2 is also rotated. However, the light segments of thedisplay field 2 are by software in accordance with the above-described method. The reading direction of thedisplay field 2 is likewise rotated through 180° within thedisplay field 2 and is in this sense “reversed”, i.e., the reading direction now runs from proximal (rear) to distal (front). The dose-selector button 8 is now located proximally (rearwardly) from thedisplay field 2 counter to the reading direction. -
FIG. 6 shows a reverse face of the device of the second illustrative embodiment, directed away from thedisplay field 2. A control element 9 can be seen which, when actuated, causes the display formed on thedisplay field 2 to be rotated, to convert the device according to whether the respective user is right-handed or left-handed. The control element 9 is formed as a press switch. It is arranged in a recessed position in thehousing 1, so that it cannot be activated accidentally. It is also so small that it cannot be pressed just by a finger, but instead only with a pin-like auxiliary means, for example with the tip of a ballpoint pen. The control element 9 can be a reset button with which the display can be set to “zero”. However, the control element 9 can also be used exclusively for converting the device from right-handed to left-handed operation, the conversion being, in some embodiments, reversible. - In some embodiments, the device is preferably formed in such a way that the conversion from right-handed to left-handed operation, and preferably also the reverse conversion, can be carried out only when the dose-
selector button 8 assumes the position, relative to thehousing 1, in which the dose is selectable, i.e. when it assumes the proximal (rear) end position. - Embodiments of the present invention, including preferred embodiments, have been presented for the purpose of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms and steps disclosed. Obvious modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described to provide the best illustration of the principles of the invention and the practical application thereof, and to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. All such modifications and variations are within the scope of the invention as determined by the appended claims when interpreted in accordance with the breadth they are fairly, legally, and equitably entitled.
