MDN GlucoStabilizer® Insulin Dosing Calculator is designed for use by order of a physician for hospitalized patients. It is intended to evaluate the current as well as cumulative patient blood glucose values, and based on those measurements, calculate and recommend a dose of insulin or dextrose to drive the blood glucose level either up or down towards a predetermined target range. Once that target blood glucose range has been reached, the system’s function is to recommend dosing of insulin or dextrose for the purpose of maintaining the patient’s blood glucose level in that target range. The system is programmed to provide dosing calculations of insulin and dextrose for both adult and pediatric (ages 2-18) patients.
A small electronic calculator that can be programmed to carry out calculations related to a specific medical treatment, e.g., measuring infusion dosages, or the degree of stenosis in a coronary vessel where measurements are taken from x-ray films using an electronic calliper coupled to a programmed calculator. Dedicated software may be necessary to effect the device's intended purpose.
