Solution Overview

Problem

Current infusion pumps require manual labor and time for updating drug databases, leading to high costs and low reliability due to the need for medical staff to manually enter drug information and usage statistics.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for automatically updating infusion control parameters in infusion pumps by analyzing infusion records and medical advice information using selected analysis rules to obtain alternative control parameters, which are then used to update the drug database, eliminating the need for manual data collection by medical personnel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual data entry by medical staff is used to update drug databases, then the infusion pump can maintain accurate drug information, but the labor and time costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrug database accuracyVSAvoidtime for manual data entry
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The infusion pump automatically updates its own drug database by collecting and analyzing infusion records and medical advice information from the hospital information system, eliminating the need for manual data entry by medical staff while maintaining database accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediate data processing mechanism that automatically extracts drug information from existing infusion records and medical advice data, serving as a bridge between the hospital information system and the infusion pump database without requiring direct manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual data entry by medical staff is used to update drug databases, then the infusion pump can maintain accurate drug information, but the labor costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrug database accuracyVSAvoidlabor cost for data entry
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The infusion pump performs self-updating of the drug database by automatically collecting, analyzing, and processing infusion records and medical advice information, completely eliminating the need for medical staff to manually enter drug data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of data entry by medical staff is replaced with an automated electronic data processing system that collects and processes information from the hospital information system, substituting human labor with automated computational processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If existing drug databases are used without automated updates, then the system operation is simple, but the content richness and reliability of the database decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoiddatabase content richness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously collects and analyzes infusion records and medical advice information to automatically update the drug database, ensuring the database content remains rich and current without requiring periodic manual intervention, thus maintaining both operational simplicity and data quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where infusion records and medical advice information are continuously analyzed to identify updates needed in the drug database, automatically adjusting and enriching the database content based on actual usage patterns and medical recommendations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The invention provides a method for updating an infusion control parameter, a device, an infusion pump and a storage medium, and relates to the technical field of medical devices. The infusion pump may analyze the obtained infusion record and/or medical advice information to obtain an alternative control parameter corresponding to at least one drug name. Finally, the infusion pump can update a drug database stored in the infusion pump according to the alternative control parameters corresponding to the obtained at least one drug name. There is no need for operation and maintenance staff to collect drug information and infusion control parameters for infusion from doctors, pharmacists, nurses and other medical staff, thereby saving a lot of labor cost and time cost.
