Publication number: 20220331513Abstract: A system for maintaining drug information and communicating with medication delivery devices includes software designed for use in a hospital, pharmacy or biomedical technical service environments. The software may be provided on a computer readable medium. The software allows a facility to customize a drug library with both hard and soft drug limits and other parameters for use with an infuser having a plug and play module removably inserted into a slot within a housing, or for use with an infuser having a connectivity engine enclosed within the housing. The system supports data transfer to one or more infusers connected to one or more computers. The connection between the computer and the pump can be hard wired or wireless.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Gary A. Howard, Fred Assadi, Yu Xin, Nick Okasinski, Thomas Canup, Steve Engebretsen, Raymond P. Silkaitis, Geoffrey N. Holland, Patrick B. Keely, Mozammil H. Awan

Publication number: 20200206413Abstract: A medication management system (MMS) includes a medication management unit (MMU) associated with a medical device. The MMU downloads a medication order to the medical device only if information from a first input matches information from a second input. The medical device receives delivery information only from the MMU. The medication order is performed only after delivery data validation. The MMU also determines drug-drug incompatibility. The MMU can modulate (start, stop, and dynamically adjust) medication order performance. The medical device wirelessly receives a patient ID to automatically associate with the patient. During delivery, the medical device caches an updated drug library to replace an existing one. The medical device displays a patient picture for validation. The MMU evaluates the performance of medical devices and caregivers based medical device feedback. The MMU adjusts the output of medical device information conveyed to a caregiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Raymond P. Silkaitis, Geoffrey N.
