AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing infusion pump designs risk infusing liquid into patients by gravity due to the free-flow protection device opening before the pump door is fully closed, leading to unintended fluid flow.
Method used
A latch mechanism that actuates the free-flow protection device only after the pump door is fully closed, using a latch member and latch pin to secure the door and then open the protection device via a curved cam surface to allow fluid flow.
Benefits of technology
Ensures fluid flow through the infusion pump tubing only after the door is fully secured, preventing unintended infusion by gravity and ensuring precise control over fluid delivery.
