IMPLANTABLE MANUALLY-CONTROLLABLE DRUG DELIVERY APPARATUS
The present disclosure relates to an implantable drug delivery device including a manual control actuator that allows a patient to self-administer a fixed amount of a drug at a desired time. By controlling a drug level, the volume inside a drug chamber, the number of actuations, and the like, a device of the present disclosure allows a drug to be precisely controlled and delivered from the outside after the device is implanted in vivo, and thus it is convenient to control a drug administration schedule. Also, since a battery is not required, and internal control devices for electromagnetic control become unnecessary, it is more patient-friendly and economically feasible.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A RULE SET FOR MEDICAL EVENT MANAGEMENT AND RESPONSES
A system and method to configure a rule set used in connection with a medical monitoring system for monitoring patients and patient care equipment, especially medication delivery pumps, based on a variety of conditions and parameters associated with monitored biometric information and equipment information and for providing user-defined responses to those conditions and parameters.
Automatic treatment of pain
Disclosed are methods and medical device systems for automated delivery of therapies for pain and determination of need for and safety of treatment. In one embodiment, such a medical device system may comprise a sensor configured to sense at least one body signal from a patient; and a medical device configured to receive a first sensed body signal from the sensor; determine a patient pain index based at least in part on said first sensed body signal; determine whether said patient pain index is above at least a first pain index threshold; determine a safety index based at least in part on a second sensed body signal; select a pain treatment regimen based on at least one of said safety index and or a determination that said pain index is above said first pain index threshold; and deliver said pain treatment regimen.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROGRAMMING A MEDICAL INFUSION PUMP
Systems and methods for programming an infusion pump. Parameters provided in an infusion order from a Hospital Information System (HIS) are used by the infusion pump to find a matching entry in the infusion pump drug library. If there is no matching entry in the infusion pump drug library, then a manual mode is populated with the parameters and the pump can accordingly be operated in the manual mode.
INFUSION PUMP SECURITY SYSTEM
A system and method for securing a pump are disclosed. The system includes a pump that contains a medicament delivery system, a processor operably coupled to the pump, a user interface in operable communication with the processor, a plurality of sensors in operable communication with the processor, and a housing. The housing includes a frame, a door, and a locking mechanism that can be selectively unlocked to allow the door to partially detach from the frame. The security system includes a swivel door assembly, which includes physical redundancies to selectively prevent access to the internal space of the swivel door assembly and a plurality of alarms. For example, in response to receiving an input from the plurality of sensors, the processor initiates at least one of the plurality of alarms to provide an indication to a user that an event has occurred.
INFUSION CONTROLLER USING INLINE FEEDBACK THROUGH INTEGRAL FLOW MEASUREMENT IN TUBING
An administration set, system, and method for administering an infusion fluid for delivering an infusion fluid into a patients anatomic space includes an infusion fluid path having a first portion to connect with a source of the infusion fluid and a second portion to deliver the infusion fluid into the patients anatomic space; and a flow rate sensor disposed in the infusion fluid path between the first and second portion to determine a flow rate measurement of the infusion fluid and to generate a signal indicative of the flow rate measurement to control the flow rate of the infusion fluid through the fluid path.
RACK-PUMP CHARGING PRIORITIZATION IN MULTI-PUMP ASSEMBLY
The present disclosure provides a new and innovative method for dynamically managing power and charging rates of multi-pump assemblies. In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes monitoring a plurality of pump parameters for a plurality of infusion pumps, assessing a change in the parameter states, establishing charging needs for each infusion pump in the plurality of infusion pumps, and establishing a charging profile for each infusion pump in the plurality of infusion pumps.
Medical fluid injector including bolus counter
The present invention relates to a medical fluid injector. In particular, by including a bolus counter that provides the correct number of bolus injections, it is possible to prevent the problem of excessive administration of a medical fluid due to frequent bolus injections through the management of the number of bolus injections, and increase effectiveness of treatment through the establishment of a treatment strategy based on the number of bolus injections provided.
Operating an infusion pump system
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can be configured to control dispensation of medicine according to a closed-loop delivery mode that is responsive to feedback information provided from a monitoring device, and the infusion pump system permits a user to interrupt the closed-loop delivery mode for purposes of dispensing a user-selected manual bolus dosage.
PATIENT-MAINTAINED SEDATION
A hand-operated device for enabling a patient to control a level of sedation. The device includes: an elongate arcuate portion arranged to fit around a wrist of a patient; and a switch arranged to activate upon compression across a width of the elongate arcuate portion.
