Abstract: A portable monitoring device operates to remotely monitor a medical device for use in hospitals and the like. The portable monitoring device includes a signal receiver for receiving a first wireless signal. The medical device can be a portable drip infusion set of the type having a liquid supply, a drip chamber downstream of the liquid supply for forming liquid drops, a flexible tube connecting the drip chamber with an injection needle and a signal emitter for emitting the first wireless signal. The infusion set and the monitoring device each can include printed circuit boards (PCBs) and mutually interconnectible electric contacts. The infusion set includes an electronic circuitry that blocks programming of the infusion set when the monitoring device is not electrically connected to the infusion set.

Abstract: There is provided a combination of a portable monitoring device (9) for remotely monitoring a medical device (1) for use in hospitals and the like and having a signal receiver for receiving a first wireless signal, and said medical device (1) in the form of a portable drip infusion set of the type comprising a liquid supply, a drip chamber downstream of said liquid supply for forming liquid drops, a flexible tube connecting said drip chamber with an injection needle and a signal emitter for emitting said first wireless signal. The infusion set (1) and monitoring device (9) each comprise printed circuit boards (PCBs) (33, 23) and comprise mutually interconnectible electric contacts (11, 11a). The infusion set (1) comprises an electronic circuitry that blocks programming of the infusion set (1) when the monitoring device (9) is not electrically connected to the infusion set (1).

Abstract: There is provided a combination of a drip chamber for use in a drip infusion set of the type comprising a liquid supply connected to said drip chamber upstream thereof and an injection needle connected through a tube to said drip chamber downstream thereof, and a drop sensor adapted for being arranged adjacent said drip chamber for sensing the passage of drops through said drip chamber.

Abstract: There is provided a combination of a portable monitoring device for monitoring a portable drip infusion set for use in hospitals and the like and the portable drip infusion set, preferably being of the type comprising a liquid supply, a drip chamber downstream of the liquid supply for forming liquid drops and a flexible tube connecting the drip chamber with an injection needle.
