  • Publication number: 20240189507
    Abstract: An infusion device determines, based on a medication loaded by the device, a number of digit fields for inputting a parameter associated with the medication, obtains first and second limits pertaining to the medication, determines which of the digit fields are selectable based on the first limit, displays, on a display screen, a plurality of selectable character input fields corresponding to the number of digit fields, visually identifies a first of the input fields as an adjustable field, displays one or more controls for incrementing or decrementing a value of the identified adjustable field, visually identifies, responsive to receiving the selection of a second character input field, the second character input field as the adjustable field and, in response to determining that an adjusted value exceeded the second limit, displays an alert proximate to the adjusted value of the second selectable character input field.

  • Patent number: 11142675
    Abstract: A heat exchanging thermal liquid container system that comprises a main body at least partially defining a liquid reservoir structured and operable to retain a liquid, and a phase change material (PCM) liner comprising a PCM liner PCM having a selected melting temperature, and/or at least one PCM pod. Each of the at least one PCM pod(s) comprising a respective PCM pod PCM having a respective selected melting temperature. Wherein the PCM liner and/or the at least one PCM pod are disposable within the liquid reservoir such that when a liquid is disposed within the liquid reservoir the liquid will contact at least one of the PCM liner and the at least one PCM pod such that thermal energy can be exchanged between the liquid and the respective at least one of the PCM liner PCM and the at least one PCM pod PCM.
