SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING A FLUID PROCEDURE
20230218807 · 2023-07-13 ·

A computer-implemented method comprises providing a fluid circuit comprising fluid pathways configured to mount and associate with a durable processing device comprising a pressure sensor in communication with a controller and a fluid pathway. A container is connected to the pressure sensor and may receive a volume of fluid. A change in pressure values between a first and second time is measured from when the volume of fluid is not in communication with the pressure sensor to when the volume of fluid is in communication with the pressure sensor, the volume of fluid within the container or a presence or absence of a fluid connection to the fluid pathway based on the change in pressure values is determined, and a response action is executed if the volume of fluid within the container is not within an authorized volume range for the time period, or if a fluid connection is unauthorized.

IV FLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

An intravenous delivery system may operate by gravity feed, and may have a liquid source containing a liquid, a drip unit that receives the liquid from the liquid source, and tubing that receives the liquid from the drip unit for delivery to a patient. A flow rate sensor may be used to measure a flow rate of liquid through the intravenous delivery system, and may generate a flow rate signal indicative of the flow rate. A controller may receive the signal, and may compare the flow rate with a desired flow rate. If the flow rate is more or less than the desired flow rate, the controller may transmit a control signal to a flow rate regulator. The flow rate regulator may receive the control signal and, in response, modify the flow rate to bring the flow rate closer to the desired flow rate.

SELF-ADJUSTING IV STAND

IV stand assemblies are provided that include a base, a stand, a platform and a motorized pole assembly having a housing, a pole and a drive. The drive moves the pole to extend and retract the pole relative to the housing. A weight measurement assembly measures weight of a fluid within a fluid container hanging from the IV stand assembly. IV stand assemblies with a pulley/belt assembly and methods of operating IV assemblies are also provided.
