Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a system consisting of a medical (therapy) device, in particular an injection pump or an infusion pump, a data processing unit and a data connection. In addition, the present disclosure relates to a (medical) identification method, a (medical) reporting method, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program. Background Art

[0002] Known medical devices, such as medical pumps, in particular syringe pumps or infusion pumps, can be connected to a (central) data processing unit or a (central) IT platform via a data connection. Here, multiple medical devices can be connected to a single (central) data processing unit. The data processing unit can also be a (central) (cloud) server with corresponding hardware for input and / or output. For example, software updates can be installed from the data processing unit to the corresponding medical device or a (software) license can be activated on the corresponding device via a data connection. On the other hand, the medical device can transmit treatment data, alarms or warnings to the data processing unit, which are displayed as messages on the input or output unit of the data processing unit, for example on a screen. Therefore, the alarms or warnings of individual medical devices can be output to the user.

[0003] In known devices, the medical device itself is passive. That is, the medical device can collect data and transmit the data to a data processing unit. Furthermore, the medical device can communicate with the data processing unit and output corresponding outputs to a user. However, it is not possible to actively operate or influence the data processing unit via the medical device (e.g. in the sense of a workstation). Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, the object of the present disclosure is to overcome or at least reduce the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular to provide a medical system, a (medical) identification method, a (medical) reporting method, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program, which are capable of realizing active control of a (central) data processing unit, in particular on a medical device of the type mentioned above (as a workstation).

[0005] These objects are achieved according to features of the invention with respect to the medical system, with respect to the (medical) marking method, with respect to the (medical) reporting method, with respect to the computer-readable storage medium and with respect to the computer program.

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a medical system consisting of at least a medical pump, in particular an injection pump or an infusion pump, a (central) data processing unit, in particular a (cloud) server or a digital platform, and a data connection connecting the medical pump and the data processing unit, wherein the medical pump has an operating unit / interaction unit. The data processing unit has an input and, if necessary, an output unit, into which (pump) personalized information is at least input. The (pump) personalized information can be transmitted from the data processing unit to at least one (selected) medical pump via a data connection, and the medical pump can be (personally) controlled by the data processing unit according to the input and transmitted information. The operating unit of the medical pump is also provided for displaying the information input and transmitted at the data processing unit. Furthermore, the medical system is provided for transmitting personalized (control) information to a data processing unit via a data connection, wherein the personalized information is or can be input into an operating unit (directly / immediately or via a portable, optionally wirelessly connected input device, such as a tablet computer, laptop, etc.), wherein the input of the personalized information into the operating unit causes an (influential) action on the data processing unit (i.e., for example, the data processing unit is reprogrammed in such a way that it, if necessary, continues to carry out the changed control of at least the personalized pump).

[0007] Pump-specific information is thus understood to mean, for example, a device identifier, a control command or a control parameter, etc., which relates only to this medical pump (if applicable among a plurality of medical pumps) and which must be stored accordingly in the data processing unit. An induced action is understood to mean any process on the data processing unit side that is triggered by an input to at least one medical pump, such as storing a parameter or a pump state, changing a control parameter or a control step, etc.

[0008] In other words, the medical (therapy) pump preferably has an input and output unit or a (personalized) interface to a device-related (mobile) input and output device (tablet, laptop, mobile phone, etc.) for (manual) input and output of information or data into the medical (therapy) pump. The data processing unit or central server or central computer has hardware with an input and / or output unit for inputting and / or outputting information into the data processing unit itself. The information that can be input into the input and / or output unit of the data processing unit can be transmitted to the medical pump via a (system-inherent) data connection (different from the personalized interface for mobile input devices that may exist on the treatment device side), which can be a wireless data connection, such as WIFI, Ethernet and / or Bluetooth and / or a cable-based bus system, such as USB. The medical pump can be controlled / controlled by input on the data processing unit itself. For example, a (software) update can be sent to the medical (therapy) pump via the data processing unit and the (therapy) pump, for example, a pump can therefore be updated (wirelessly or remotely) via the data processing unit. The information input in the input and / or output unit of each medical pump can be transmitted (in the opposite direction) from the medical pump to the data processing unit via the data connection. The data processing unit can thus also be controlled via these inputs on the medical (treatment) pump. The inputs at the medical pump or at the operating unit (input and, if necessary, output device) of the medical pump are processed as instructions by the data processing unit. In particular, faults on the medical pump can be reported via the information input on the medical pump. The fault message / fault information can cause / trigger (influential) actions on the data processing unit, such as starting repairs. The (central) data processing unit can therefore be controlled via the information input on the medical pump.

[0009] In other words, the input and / or output devices / operating units (respectively) on at least one (decentralized) medical (therapeutic) pump and also on the (central) data processing unit and the data connection between the medical device and the data processing unit thus enable active bidirectional (i.e., active in both directions) communication between the medical pump and the (central) data processing unit as a central (digital) platform. The data processing unit can thus be controlled by the (integrated or separate) operating unit of the corresponding medical (therapeutic) pump in a manner similar to a remote control and / or using active message and communication services.

[0010] The core of the disclosure is therefore that a data processing unit as a central platform can be controlled by a corresponding medical (therapy) device, such as a pump, in terms of the functionality of a (satellite) workstation by inputs made at the corresponding medical (therapy device) being transferred to the central data processing unit as a platform and the data processing unit being controlled by these inputs. In addition, information can be transmitted from the medical pump to the data processing unit, which can generate (device-specific) outputs at the medical pump based on the transmitted information.

[0011] The medical pump can preferably be an injection pump or an infusion pump. The medical pump can also be a device installed in another / superior medical device. For example, the medical device can be a pump, an infusion pump, an injection pump, a delivery pump, etc., if necessary, and the other superior medical device can be a device such as an extracorporeal blood treatment machine, a heart-lung machine, etc., in which the medical pump is installed / connected. It is only relevant that the medical pump can have an (integrated or mobile, satellite) operating unit as an input and output device and a (data) interface with a data processing unit or can be coupled / coupled with such a decentralized operating unit, wherein the medical pump or its (data) interface is configured so that the (control) information input at its operating unit is also transmitted in the direction of the central data processing unit.

[0012] This has the advantage over the prior art that preferably each or selected (decentralized) operating unit of the medical pump is designed so that it can be used / can be used approximately for at least limited or comprehensive active influencing (programming) of the (central) data processing unit, preferably in addition to or even as an alternative to its own input and, if necessary, output units.

[0013] The operating unit can be a (touch) screen on the medical pump in particular. In addition, the medical pump can also have input keys or input buttons, via which the user can make inputs into the medical pump. If the medical device is a medical pump, the (touch) screen can be arranged in particular in the front cover of the pump. Here, the input keys can be arranged next to the screen. The input keys can also be one or more operating elements. In addition, the operating unit can also have a light, via which signals can be output or displayed in particular.

[0014] The data processing unit can be, in particular, a server or a computer, which is connected to a certain number, preferably a plurality of medical pumps (in a data-transmittable manner). The data processing unit can here in particular have a (central) input and / or output unit of the data processing unit itself, in order to carry out input and output (directly / immediately) to the server or the computer. In this case, the input and / or output unit can be, for example, a combination of a mouse, a keyboard and a screen and / or a touch screen. Voice-controlled input and output are also conceivable.

[0015] Here, the data connection (of the system) can be in particular a WIFI and / or Ethernet connection. Of course, a (wireless) data connection via Bluetooth, NFC and / or a wired data connection via USB or other bus systems is also possible.

[0016] The personalized information may be, for example, identification information of the medical pump, such as the serial number and / or model of the medical pump. By means of the identification information, the data processing unit may identify the medical pump being sought that is connected to the data processing unit. In addition, the personalized information may be fault information of the medical pump. The fault information may be the type of fault, the serial number of the faulty medical pump, maintenance instructions and / or a request to warn the user or lock the pump.

[0017] In addition, personalized information can also be detected by scanning a computer-readable code, such as a QR code or a barcode. By scanning a medical product or a medical pump, for example, the correct product or pump can be identified. The identified product or pump can then be controlled (by a data processing unit).

[0018] By means of bidirectional communication, the data processing unit can be controlled by the medical pump. For example, a fault on the medical pump can be reported. This fault report can trigger an action on the data processing unit that causes the medical pump to be repaired or repaired. Furthermore, by means of bidirectional communication, information can also be sent from the data processing unit to the medical pump. For example, a specific pump from a plurality of pumps can be selected and made identifiable.

[0019] The data processing unit thus evaluates / processes the transmitted pump personalized information. Based on this evaluation / processing, an operation can be performed on the data processing unit. In particular, the operation can include transmitting the data / information back to the medical pump or another medical pump connected to the data processing unit via a data connection. The transmitted information can in turn be displayed on the (other) medical pump.

[0020] For example, the evaluation / processing in the data processing unit may be based on information transmitted by the medical pump or one or more other medical pumps. The evaluation / processing may also be based on information stored in a database in the data processing unit or information transmitted to the data processing unit from an external data source.

[0021] For example, the information (stored in the data processing unit or transmitted externally) can be medical information that has an impact on the patient's health. If multiple medical pumps report that a specific drug is being used, the data processing unit can detect incompatibility between the drugs used in each based on the stored information and output an alarm on one or more medical pumps or stop one or more pumps. In addition, the data processing unit can also identify incorrect dosage amounts, patient allergies / incompatibility or warnings from another medical pump (such as a malfunction) and then display them on the medical pump or another connected pump.

[0022] For example, maintenance intervals for the respective medical pumps can also be stored in the data processing unit. If pump-specific information is transmitted to the data processing unit indicating the service life of the respective medical pump, the data processing unit can compare this information with the stored maintenance intervals and output a warning or alarm on the operating unit of the medical pump or lock the medical pump.

[0023] The object of the present disclosure is also achieved by a (medical) identification method (in the sense of identification, marking) of defined / predetermined / selected / searched medical (therapy) pumps in a plurality of medical (therapy) devices, wherein the medical pumps are respectively connected to a data processing unit via a (system-inherent) data connection. The identification method according to the present disclosure has the following steps:

[0024] Device-specific information, in particular the pump ID and / or model and / or serial number of the medical pump and / or further pump information, is input into an input and / or output unit of the data processing unit itself. The medical (therapy) pump being sought is selected or identified by the data processing unit based on the input (device-specific) information. In order to identify the medical pump being sought, the input (therapy) device-specific information can be associated with information about the corresponding medical pump, in particular in a database. The (central) data processing unit controls the medical pump being sought (via a system-specific data connection). Based on the control of the medical pump being sought by the data processing unit, an identification or mark that can be perceived by the user is output via an operating unit, in particular via a (touch) screen of the medical pump being sought, whereby the medical pump being sought is identifiable / distinguishable (by the user) among a plurality of medical pumps. The medical pump being sought can thus be identified and / or marked and distinguishable by a perceptible identification or mark that distinguishes it from other medical pumps.

[0025] The number or plurality of medical pumps is thus connected to a (central) data processing unit via a data connection. In particular, the medical pumps can be logged in the data processing unit so that the individual medical pumps can be identified and controlled by the data processing unit. The identification of the individual medical pumps can be carried out in particular by assigning a cable connecting the medical pump to the data processing unit or by an electronic identification method or an assignment method. The data processing unit can thus be suitable for individually controlling the individual connected medical pumps.

[0026] Specifically, the user can select the desired medical pump on the data processing unit. To this end, the user can, for example, press a button on the input and / or output unit of the data processing unit or enter a pump ID, which is assigned to a specific medical pump. The data processing unit can control the medical pump being searched based on the user's input.

[0027] At the medical pump being operated, a marking or identification can then be output which is perceived visually, acoustically and / or tactilely by the user. Preferably, the operating unit of the medical pump can output a visual signal, such as a flashing screen, and / or an acoustic signal, such as a squeaking or whistling sound. Vibration of the medical pump and / or the operating unit can also be achieved. In principle, any signal that is perceived by the user and that distinguishes or differentiates the pump being sought from other medical pumps is conceivable.

[0028] By means of this method, the medical pump being sought can be found and identified in a simple and rapid manner, in particular by the user. Thus, for example, a faulty pump or a pump that requires maintenance can be identified particularly quickly.

[0029] Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a (medical) (fault) reporting method for reporting / displaying faults at a medical pump. Fault information about a fault at a medical pump is input into an operating unit of the medical pump in which the fault occurred. The input fault information is transmitted via a data connection to a data processing unit, which may be part of a medical system. The transmitted fault information causes an action at the data processing unit. Furthermore, the transmitted fault information can be output (to a user) via an input and / or output unit of the data processing unit in order to indicate the fault at the medical pump.

[0030] Preferably, the action of the data processing unit can be to prompt the repair or maintenance of the medical device based on the transmitted fault information. For this purpose, for example, a technician repairing the medical pump can be notified or informed (automatically or caused by the data processing unit).

[0031] Furthermore, the action on the data processing unit can also consist in registering the reported fault in a database of the data processing unit. It can thus be stored or saved in the data processing unit that the medical pump is faulty. Thus, if the relevant medical pump is selected or actuated at a later point in time, the data processing unit can display the fault to the user. Furthermore, the faulty medical pump can be locked by the data processing unit so that it cannot be used until repairs have been carried out. At least a warning can be given that a fault exists when the faulty pump is used.

[0032] By means of the (medical) reporting method, the user can, for example, directly input a fault on the medical pump and instruct a repair. Inputting a fault on the data processing unit thus becomes superfluous. Thus, manual instructions for repair or repair by the user can also be omitted.

[0033] According to an optional aspect of the present disclosure, the personalized (or also standardized) information that can be input into the input and / or output unit of the data processing unit can be identification information or device-specific information, by means of which the medical pump being sought can be identified or controlled by the data processing unit. Thus, by means of the input information, the data processing unit can identify, control and can recognize the medical pump being sought among a plurality of medical pumps.

[0034] In other words, device-specific information (by which a medical pump can be identified) can be input (by a user) into an input and / or output unit of a data processing unit. The input information can be processed by the data processing unit. The data processing unit can identify the medical pump sought by the user based on the device-specific information and operate the identified medical pump sought.

[0035] Preferably, the data processing unit has a (stored) database in which device-specific information, such as a pump ID, is assigned to a specific medical pump. The data processing unit can be adapted to determine and control a specific / searched medical pump based on the input pump ID. Optionally, the input identification information can be transmitted to the searched medical pump via a data connection. Thus, the data processing unit can determine and control the searched medical pump based on the pump ID in order to mark it among a plurality of other medical pumps.

[0036] According to another optional aspect of the present disclosure, the medical pump can be controlled by the data processing unit in such a way that the identification of the medical pump being sought is output by the operating unit (of the medical pump being sought). Preferably, the identification is output by the operating unit, for example by flashing the operating unit or displaying graphic information on the operating unit. In this case, in particular, the (colored) edge surrounding the operating unit can flash or blink. This allows the user to quickly and easily identify the medical pump being sought. This may be particularly useful when a single medical pump is to be identified from a certain number / multiple medical pumps. Optionally, the transmitted identification information can be displayed by the operating unit (of the medical pump being sought). In addition, the pump being sought can output other visual, auditory or tactile signals.

[0037] Preferably, the personalized information that can be input into the operating unit can be device status information, in particular fault information, indicating the (current) state of the medical pump. In particular, the device status information can indicate that the medical pump has a fault and / or requires maintenance. The device status information can be transmitted to the data processing unit via a data connection and cause an action on the data processing unit. The user can thus, for example, directly set or input the presence of a fault on the medical pump. The data processing unit independently processes this information input by the user. The action at the data processing unit can, for example, automatically indicate a repair of the pump and / or a locking of the pump.

[0038] However, the device status information may also be a reminder of the upcoming (planned or periodic) maintenance or cleaning of the medical pump. In this case, the action of the data processing unit may be to indicate maintenance or cleaning or to register maintenance or cleaning in a calendar.

[0039] Preferably, the device status information transmitted to the data processing unit can be displayed on an input and / or output unit of the data processing unit. The device status information can be, in particular, fault information about required maintenance or repair of the medical pump.

[0040] According to a further optional aspect of the present disclosure, the data processing unit can be adapted to cause the medical pump to be switched off, locked and / or repaired / repaired upon receipt of the fault information. The data processing unit can thus be responsible for making the medical pump no longer usable in the identified faulty state and automatically or automatically causing the faulty pump to be repaired.

[0041] Preferably, the operating unit of the medical pump can be a touch screen. In this case, an input by the user on the touch screen can represent a fault message. In this case, the input, in particular the fault message, can cause an action on the data processing unit. If the input is a fault message, the action can in particular cause the medical pump to be repaired. As a result, the user no longer has to manually cause the medical pump to be repaired.

[0042] Preferably, the system can have a carrier system into which a plurality of medical devices can be inserted. The data processing unit can be arranged in the carrier system. Thus, the data processing unit can be arranged in existing components. The system can use existing connections of individual devices to the carrier system, for example for power supply or for transmitting sensor data.

[0043] The object of the disclosure is achieved with respect to a computer-readable storage medium and with respect to a computer program in that these contain instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the medical method according to the disclosure.

[0044] Any disclosure regarding the medical system according to the present disclosure is equally applicable to the medical method according to the present disclosure, and in particular similarly vice versa. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] Figure 1 A medical (control / monitoring / operation) system 1 is shown, which has at least one (distributed, possibly mobile) medical (therapy) pump 2 and a (central, possibly stationary) data processing unit 4. The medical pump 2 is preferably a medical syringe pump or infusion pump. The medical pump 2 has its own operating unit 6 for inputting and, if necessary, outputting information, or is coupled to such a pump's own (mobile) operating unit 6 via the pump's own data connection (cable, Bluetooth, etc.). The data processing unit 4 also has an input and, if necessary, an output unit 8. Inputs and, if necessary, outputs to the data processing unit 4 can be made via the input and, if necessary, the output unit 8. The data processing unit 4 and the medical pump 2 are preferably connected to each other as a further component of the medical system 1 via a data connection 10, so that data and / or information can be transmitted from at least one medical pump 2 to the data processing unit 4 and vice versa and preferably from one medical pump 2 to another medical pump.

[0055] The data processing unit 4 can preferably be a (central) server, a computer, a digital platform or a central control unit. The data processing unit 4 has a storage unit or is coupled to a storage unit in which the database is saved or stored.

[0056] The data connection 10 may in particular be a wireless or cable-free data connection via WIFI, Bluetooth and / or NFC and / or a wired data connection via USB, Ethernet or another bus system.

[0057] Figure 2 In an exemplary embodiment, a medical pump 2 is shown. In this embodiment, the medical pump is a medical syringe pump 12. The syringe pump 12 has a front cover 14 in a known manner, through which a syringe (not shown) can be fixed in the syringe pump. In addition, the front cover 14 has an operating unit 6 or the operating unit 6 can be integrated into the front cover 14. The operating unit 6 has a screen 16, (input) buttons 18 and a further light 20. The screen 16 can be embodied as a touch screen, so that inputs and outputs can be made via the screen 16. Inputs for the syringe pump 12 can be made via the buttons 18.

[0058] Figure 3 The operating unit 6 is shown in detail. The operating unit 6 has a screen 16, input buttons 18 and a light 20. On the screen 16, a dialog window 22 can flash to show the user that a message has been transmitted from the data processing unit 4. The message of the data processing unit 4 can be, for example, that a medical pump 2 that has been registered as a peripheral device in the data processing unit 4 has been selected (by the user) in the data processing unit 4. If a medical pump 2 is selected in the data processing unit 4, a message is output, for example, on the screen 16 of the medical pump 2, or another signal (light, signal tone, etc.) is triggered to mark the medical pump 2, so that the user can identify the selected medical pump 2 or verify the selection of the correct pump himself on the selected pump. Therefore, the operator does not have to rely solely on the output at the central data processing unit in this case.

[0059] Figure 4 The screen 16 of the operating unit 6 is also shown. A further dialog window 24 is displayed on the screen 16. The dialog window 24 has, for example, the text "Report fault". If the user activates the dialog window 24 on the touch screen 16, the fault information is transmitted to the data processing unit 4. The transmitted fault information then triggers an action at the data processing unit 4. This action can be, for example, that the data processing unit 4 instructs or requests a repair of the medical pump 2.

[0060] Figure 5The arrangement of a plurality of medical pumps in the form of pumps 12 in a common carrier system (pump rack) 26 is shown. The carrier system 26 can have a data processing unit 4. This has the advantage that the carrier system 26 already exists and has electrical and data transmission connections to a certain number of medical pumps 12. In this case, the central data processing unit 4 and the data connection 10 are installed / integrated in or on the carrier system 26 and are therefore movable together with the carrier system 26, if necessary, while the medical pumps 12 are essentially movable relative to the carrier system 26 and can be inserted into the carrier system 26 as required and coupled to the data connection.

[0061] Figure 6 A flow chart is shown for a method for (medical) identification of a defined / predetermined / to be selected / to be found medical pump 2 (in the sense of the above definition) from a plurality of medical pumps 2. The individual medical pumps 2 are each connected to (and logged into) a data processing unit 4 via a data connection 10, so that data or information can be transmitted from the data processing unit to the individual medical pumps 2.

[0062] In step S1, the user enters device-specific information for this purpose, for example, directly into the input and, if applicable, output unit 8 of the data processing unit 4. The device-specific information allows a specific medical pump 2 to be identified from among the plurality of medical pumps 2. The device-specific information can be, for example, the serial number of the medical pump 2 to be sought.

[0063] In step S2, the data processing unit 4 selects the medical pump 2 being sought from the plurality of medical pumps 2 based on the input device-specific information. This means that the medical pump 2 being sought is identified by the data processing unit 4 based on the transmitted device-specific information, in particular the serial number.

[0064] In step S3 , the data processing unit 4 controls the medical pump 2 sought and identified / searched in the process via the data connection 10 .

[0065] In step S4, an identification or marking is output by the operating unit 6 of the medical pump 2 being searched / found, that is, the medical pump 2 being searched / found can be identified / marked, for example, wherein the selected / found medical pump is identified by a signal. In this case, the identification can be a graphic mark, such as a flash on the screen 16 of the operating unit 6 of the medical pump 2. Thus, the screen 16 can be surrounded by a red frame, for example, which (flashes) flashes when one of the medical pumps 2 is identified as the medical pump 2 being searched. In addition, the light 20 of the medical pump 2 can flash or blink in order to identify the medical pump 2.

[0066] Figure 7A (medical) reporting method in the event of a fault in a medical pump 2 is shown. The reporting method has the following steps. In step S100, a user (manually) enters a fault message into the operating unit 6 of the medical pump 2 where the fault occurs. Here, the fault of the medical pump 2 can be recognized by the user and / or the pump 2 itself can display or report the presence of the fault. In step S101, the entered fault message is transmitted from the medical pump 2 to the data processing unit 4 via the data connection 10. In step S102, the transmitted fault message causes an action on the data processing unit 4. In addition, the transmitted fault message can be output (to the user) via the input and / or output unit 8 of the data processing unit 4 in order to indicate the fault on the medical pump 2. The fault message can be displayed in particular on the input and / or output unit 8 of the data processing unit 4 via a dialog window. For example, the serial number of the faulty pump 2, which fault exists and / or whether repair is required can be output via the fault message. In addition, a technician can be automatically commissioned to repair or repair the medical pump 2 or the use of the faulty pump 2 can be blocked based on the fault message. The data processing unit 4 can store or save information about the malfunction of the medical pump 2 in a database.
