Embodiment Construction

[0047] Figure 1A with 1B Examples of infusion pumps 100 and 150 (also more generally indicated by numeral 100 in this disclosure), respectively, are shown, which may be used to implement embodiments of the systems and methods discussed herein. In general, infusion pump 100 is a syringe-type pump that can be used to deliver a wide range of infusion solutions, medications, and treatments. The infusion pump 100 includes drug containers or syringes 110 supported on and fastened to the housing 120 by clamps 130 , respectively. In an embodiment, the syringe 110 may be supplied by the pump 100 alone. In other embodiments, syringe 110 is an integral component of pump 100 . The syringe 110 includes a plunger 140 that forces fluid out of the syringe 110 via an infusion line 160 connected to the patient. A motor and lead screw arrangement inside the housing 120 of the pump 100 cooperates to actuate a pusher or plunger driver mechanism 170 to move the plunger 140 . In an embodiment, ...

Abstract

A real-time embedded server system for controlling, in real-time, at least one infusion pump. The embedded server system includes an embedded server including a memory and a processor electrically coupled to the memory and configured to implement a control engine configured to issue control commands to at least one infusion pump, a messaging engine configured to issue messages to and receive messages from at least one infusion pump, an aggregation engine configured to aggregate data related to the operation of the at least one infusion pump, and a networking engine configured to control network access of the embedded server and the at least one infusion pump. A patient care system including at least one embedded server controlling device configured to make patient-specific care decisions and an associated network of devices operably coupled to a patient and configured to be controlled by the at least one controlling device.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter of the present invention relates generally to medical devices, and more particularly to systems and methods for coordinating and controlling infusion pumps. Background technique [0002] Infusion pumps are useful medical devices for providing prescribed fluids, medications, and other treatments to patients. For example, pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, anesthetics, and pain relievers are often delivered to patients via infusion pumps, as are nutrients and other supplements. Infusion pumps have been used in hospitals, nursing homes, and other short- and long-term care settings, as well as in home care. Infusion pumps may be particularly useful for the delivery of medical treatments that require prolonged periods of their administration. Many types of infusion pumps exist, including high-volume, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), elastic, syringe, enteral, and insulin pumps. Infusion pumps are generally suit...
