Abstract
A medical device for administering a solution, the device including a pump, a reservoir, and a communication structure for connecting the reservoir and the pump, and a line for connecting the medical device to the patient, wherein the medical device is adapted to use a mathematical model in order to determine at any moment a physical or chemical characteristics of the solution, which is contained in the reservoir, wherein the mathematical model takes account of a modification of the solution in the reservoir over the course of time as a function of an exposure to temperature, to humidity, or to pressure of the solution, or ageing or permeability of the reservoir; and the medical device is adapted to inform the patient about refilling the solution or changing the reservoir depending on the modification of the characteristics of the solution.
