Publication number: 20040153344Abstract: A system and method for creating and updating a mobile medical record are provided. The system and method include a radio frequency identification tag storing medical record data such as patient data. A handheld computing device downloads a medical care plan from a record database via a communication network. The handheld computing device is equipped with a radio frequency identification interrogator that is capable of reading data from and writing data to the radio frequency identification tag. Thus, the handheld computing device is capable of creating and updating a medical record stored on the radio frequency identification tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Inventors: Tuan Bui, E. Jane Wilson, Tom Dudar, Peter Tomicki, Randolph Meinzer, Martin Monaghan, Kurt Attermeier, Janet Mullan, James Martucci

Publication number: 20040150525Abstract: A system and method for tracking, monitoring and managing a material are provided. The system and method include material having a radio frequency identification tag storing material information including tracking information, usage information and inventory information. A number of radio frequency identification readers are strategically placed throughout a desired environment to track and monitor the movement of the material within the desired environment. Further radio frequency identification readers throughout the desired environment are configured to track the usage of the material and to monitor the material for improper usage. Thus, the readers are able to create a comprehensive material tracking, monitoring and managing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Inventors: E. Jane Wilson, Tom Dudar, Peter Tomicki, Martin Monaghan, Kurt Attermeier, Janet Mullan, Janice Frobel

Patent number: 6213738Abstract: A medical infusion pump is disclosed which provides for greatly improved accuracy in the delivery of medicaments to a patient. Among the various features included in the instant invention is a pumping body which serves to deform and reform a tube so as to maintain the initial cross-section thereof and thereby preserve the output accuracy of the pump. Also disclosed with regard to the pumping body is a wholly mechanical synchronization of the pumping body and valves associated therewith and coactive with the aforementioned synchronization a mechanical linearization of output of the pumping body per each pumping cycle. Additionally, several features which serve to enhance the utility of the instant invention are also included therein among which is an associated assembly operative to automatically load or disload a tube or IV set into or out of the pumping body.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1998Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Hal Danby, Geoff Hutchins, Jon Plumb, Mark Harris, Tim Allen, Martin Monaghan, Svante (Eric) Myren

Patent number: 6129517Abstract: A medical infusion pump is disclosed which has a tube present sensor that determines the position of the tube within a pumping body. The tube present sensor having a pivotable sensor arm with a blade which engages the tube. The pivotable sensor arm having a sensor flag which actuates an optical switch to signal that the sensor arm is in engagement with the tube. The sensor exchanges positional information with a pump controller to affect operation of the pump.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1998Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignee: Baxter International IncInventors: Hal Danby, Thomas McGraghan, Jon Plumb, Alan Brundle, Martin Monaghan, Svante Eric Myren
