Publication number: 20240062866Abstract: A fluid delivery system displays, on a display screen, fluid identifiers including a first fluid identifier indicating a first fluid and a second fluid identifier specifying a second fluid. The fluid delivery system further displays, on the display screen, a first indication of receiving an excessive number of fluid delivery pump programming alerts associated with the first fluid identifier. The fluid delivery system adjusts a first fluid delivery limit setting associated with delivery of the first fluid in response to the excessive number of fluid delivery pump programming alerts associated with the first fluid identifier. The fluid delivery system implements the adjusted first fluid delivery limit setting for each of multiple fluid delivery pumps subsequently requesting to deliver the first fluid to a respective recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: George W. Gray, Jason M. Baldwin, Gabriel Stuparu

Patent number: 11857755Abstract: Via communications with an association management resource, an operator of a respective fluid delivery system can associate a medical device (fluid pump) with a particular entity such as a patient, location, one or more other medical devices, the caregiver, etc. Thereafter, the operator of the fluid delivery system is able to better manage use of the fluid delivery system based on relevant medical information, which is accessible as a result of creating the association. For example, the association management resource gathers and stores information associated with the entity prior to the operator providing the input associating the fluid delivery system with the entity. After the operator of the fluid delivery system creates the association, the medical information associated with the entity is immediately available to the fluid delivery system and/or corresponding operator of the fluid delivery system.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Fresenius Kabi USA, LLCInventors: George W. Gray, William C. McQuaid, Jesse E. Ambrosina

Publication number: 20220339355Abstract: A system includes: a fluid delivery pump and a network of multiple record management processing nodes. The fluid delivery pump is in communication with one or more of the record management-processing nodes in the network. At least a first record management processing node receives input indicating a fluid delivery event. The fluid delivery event indicates fluid delivery from the fluid delivery pump to a recipient. The record management-processing node identifies code pertinent to the fluid delivery event; the code includes criteria in which to validate the fluid delivery event. In response to validation of the fluid delivery event as specified by the criteria in the code, a resource such as the record management-processing node triggers a transaction associated with the fluid delivery event.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Jesse E. Ambrosina, George W. Gray

Patent number: 11219715Abstract: A controller controls a fluid pump to deliver primary fluid from a first source at a desired rate through a respective conduit to a recipient. The controller monitors a volume of the primary fluid injected into the conduit. Subsequent to injecting a predetermined amount of the primary fluid into the conduit, the controller i) discontinues injection of the primary fluid into the conduit and ii) injects a secondary fluid through the conduit to advance a remaining portion of the primary fluid in the conduit to the recipient. The controller advances the secondary fluid into the conduit until a desired amount of the primary fluid is delivered trough the conduit to the recipient. Injection of the secondary fluid to push the remaining portion of the primary fluid reduces waste associated with the primary fluid.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Ivenix, Inc.Inventors: George W. Gray, Susan E. Niemeier, Jesse E. Ambrosina, Benjamin G. Powers

Publication number: 20210322674Abstract: A fluid delivery system includes a fluid delivery controller and multiple fluid pumps. The multiple fluid pumps include a first fluid pump and a second fluid pump. A caregiver receives a fluid delivery order specifying a schedule of delivering multiple different fluids to a recipient. To deliver the different multiple different fluids to the recipient, the caregiver assigns each of the multiple fluid pumps to deliver a different fluid as specified by the fluid delivery order. One or more fluid delivery controllers then controls delivery of the multiple different fluids from the multiple fluid pumps in a manner as specified by the schedule.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: George W. Gray, Marsden P. Marshall, Jason M. Baldwin, Christopher F. Pastore, Kimberly A. Iacoviello, Stephen C. Anthony

Publication number: 20210322675Abstract: A fluid delivery system includes a fluid pump and a fluid management system. The fluid management system receives input indicating a fluid (such as drug, therapy, etc.) of a particular type to be delivered to a recipient. The fluid management system maps the particular type of the fluid to a set of patient parameters to be monitored during delivery of the fluid to the recipient. During delivery of the particular drug to the recipient, the fluid management system monitors feedback from the recipient for each of the one or more parameters in the set. Based on the feedback, the fluid management system controls delivery of the fluid to the recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: George W. Gray, Jesse E. Ambrosina

Patent number: 10025909Abstract: A configuration management resource keeps track of incremental updates to a locally stored copy of configuration information (such as drug library information) used by a medical device to administer treatment to patients. The medical device retrieves a copy of the configuration information from a configuration management resource. Unbeknownst to a user of the medical device, to ensure that the medical device has most up-to-date configuration information, the medical device communicates a request for updates to the configuration management resource. To service the received request for updated configuration information, the configuration management resource forwards incrementally available configuration update information to the requesting medical device. The medical device uses the received configuration update information from the configuration management resource to update its local version of configuration information stored in the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Ivenix, Inc.Inventors: George W.

Patent number: 10002235Abstract: A healthcare enterprise has an associated management resource that manages operation of one or more medical devices in the healthcare enterprise. To determine what functionality to enable in a respective medical device, the respective medical device establishes a communication link to communicate in a network environment. Subsequent to establishing the communication link, the medical device initiates communications over the communication link from the medical device to the remotely located management resource. The communications include a unique identifier value assigned to the medical device. Depending upon feedback (such as granting or denial of authorization) from the management resource with respect to the unique identifier value, the medical device operates in one of multiple different operational modes such as a fully functional mode or a reduced functionality mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Ivenix, Inc.Inventors: George W. Gray, William C. McQuaid

Patent number: 9849232Abstract: A fluid flow manager executing on first hardware controls a flow of fluid outputted from a fluid delivery pump to a recipient. A monitor resource, executing on second hardware operating independently of the first hardware, monitors for an occurrence of a failure condition associated with the delivery of fluid. In response to detecting occurrence of a failure condition associated with delivery of the fluid, the monitor resource generates a control output. The control output can be used to perform operations such as discontinue delivery of the fluid, notify a respective caregiver of the delivery failure, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Invenix, Inc.Inventors: George W.
