DEVICE FOR ADMINISTERING AN INFUSION OR TRANSFUSION, SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUCH A DEVICE
A device for administering an infusion or transfusion of liquid from a container includes a pump for pumping liquid to a patient connection via a conduit having a liquid-retaining filter membrane. The device also includes a pressure measuring device for acquiring measurement values corresponding to a pump-inlet-side pressure, and a control device for detecting a change in the pump-inlet-side pressure based on the measurement values. The control device determines, based on the change in the pump-inlet-side pressure, whether to stop pumping. The control device also generates a control signal when the pumping is to be stopped. Moreover, the control device emits, based on the control signal, a communication signal to a data connection between the device and a unit that reads the communication signal. In addition, or in the alternative, the control device switches the device from a first state to a second state based on the control signal.
Thermic Infusion System Dry Tube Detector
A method for improved controlling of a thermic infusion system having a one tubal segment and a thermal element to heat an infusion fluid carried within the tubal segment, and having at least one sensor positioned within the thermic infusion system comprising regulating energy provided to the sensor for a first period of time to sense a self-heating effect of the at least one sensor due to a dry tube; responsive to detecting a dry tube, preventing energizing the thermal element; responsive to detecting a non-dry tube, regulating energy provided to the sensor for a second period of time to sense a temperature of an infusion fluid carried within the at least one tubal segment.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING AN INFUSION PUMP
Systems and methods for determining the position of a fluid within a fluid source and infusion line coupled to an infusion flow control device are described herein. An exemplary system and method includes sampling fluid pressure upstream of an infusion pump, and calculating fluid pressure slope profiles. By sampling fluid pressure upstream of an infusion pump at discrete intervals and monitoring fluid pressure slope profiles, conditions of fluid flow, including unintentional fluid flow through an infusion line or a defective check valve in an infusion line, are detected, and fluid flow through an infusion pump is controlled.
INFUSION PUMP AND METHOD TO PREVENT TITRATION ERRORS IN INFUSION THERAPIES
An infusion pump including an interface unit for receiving first data for a first infusion regimen for a medication, the first regimen including a first unit of measure in which the first regimen is executed and after receipt of the first data, second data for a second infusion regimen for the medication, the second regimen including a second unit of measure in which the second regimen is executed. The pump also includes a processor for comparing the first and second units of measure. In one embodiment, the pump includes a graphical user interface, and the processor identifies a difference between the first and second units of measure; generates, using the processor, a warning message; and displays the message on the graphical user interface. In another embodiment, the processor holds in abeyance initiation of the second infusion regimen in response to identifying the difference between the units of measure.
ENTERAL FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM
Disclosed is a system for administrating fluids to a patient, such as an infant. The system comprises a container that defines a drip chamber, a source of nutritive fluid fluidically communicating with the drip chamber, and a tube connecting the drip chamber to the gastric cavity of a patient, the chamber including a membrane that is gas-permeable but that is resistant to fluid passage. The system allows fluids to be introduced to the patient and for gastric gases to be released while they are resistant to the leak and spillage.
AUTOMATED FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A fluid management system includes a pump configured to pump fluid through the system at a fluid flow rate. The system includes a processor including a user interface, the user interface allowing a user to input a set of system operating parameters, the processor being configured to control the pump to maintain a target fluid flow rate based on the set of system operating parameters. The system further includes a scope device coupled to the pump to deliver fluid to a target surgical site, the scope device including an elongated shaft extending from a distal end thereof, the elongated shaft including at least one sensor, the sensor transmitting sensor data relating to target surgical site to the processor. The processor automatically signals to the pump to adjust the fluid flow rate based on the sensor data.
STABLE FLOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY
A stable flow regulator assembly includes a body having a tube slot adjacent a perimeter of the body and having an opening at the perimeter to slidingly receive a portion of an intravenous (IV) tube, and a spiral slide groove extending into the body from the tube slot, wherein a width of the spiral slide groove narrows as the spiral slide groove extends further into the body. A tube arm is rotatingly coupled to the body, the tube arm having a slot open to the perimeter of the body and configured to slidingly receive the IV tube when the slot is aligned with the tube slot of the body and to regulate a flow rate through the IV tube based on the compression of the IV tube due to a position of the IV tube within the spiral slide groove. Methods of operating a stable flow regulator assembly are also provided.
FLUID SOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A fluid source management system (100) comprising a structure (101) that supports one or more fluid sources (103), sensors (102) that determine the fluid state of the fluid sources (103), at least one common reservoir (108) for storing the fluid, tubing (104) connecting the fluid sources (103) to the common fluid reservoir (108) and a controller (105) that controls the opening and closing of the tubing (104) based upon the fluid state of the fluid sources (103).
