Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention includes devices and methods that enhance quality assurance, prevent misuse, and facilitate product recalls, tracking, or similar actions on medical products. This description of the invention will focus on those devices, devices and methods suitable for drug delivery, but they are broadly applicable to other medical products and devices in other medical fields, such as dialysis cartridges and devices and diagnostic devices, etc. Wait.

[0024] figure 1 Represents the flow of data between various elements of one embodiment of the invention. Disposable components, supplies, and kits of components or supplies of the drug delivery device or system 10 are equipped with a quality assurance module or mark (QAM). Preferably, the QAM encodes information about the origin and identity of the part, supply or implement, or in the case of a drug container, the drug itself.

[0025] An example of a drug delivery device or system 10 is described in US Patent A...

Abstract

The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for marking components, supplies and kits of drug administration devices and other medical systems with quality assurance information. The invention also provides apparatuses and methods for tracking time of use of such components, supplies and kits and various apparatuses and methods for preventing use or reuse of tainted, recalled or unrecognized components, supplies and kits. Quality assurance markers (QAMs) are described which store information regarding the identity and manufacturer of disposable components, supplies and kits. The invention utilizes several QAM modalities, such as, among others, 1-D and 2-D bar codes, 1-D and 2-D symbologies, holograms, written text, radio frequency identification devices (RFIDs), integrated chip smart cards, and EEPROMs.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to US Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 324,043, filed September 24, 2001, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for encoding information related to medical supplies, components and appliances, and detecting use, reuse, etc. of such items to ensure the quality and safety of these items. Background technique [0003] Many medical procedures, such as administration of (eg sedation and pain medications) are safety-critical tasks that are controversial in terms of patient health. The margin for error in these doses may be small because the margin between correct dosage and overdose is narrow. Patient injury or even death may be due to this small margin of error. Therefore, it is important to identify and certify the source and manufacturer of medical components, supplies, implements, etc., as well as identif...
