Publication number: 20220305200Abstract: An infusion pump system and method with common line auto flush, wherein the infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the junction and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes infusing the first fluid at a first rate along a first flow path; entering a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching from the first flow path to a second flow path; driving the second fluid at the first rate along the second flow path; monitoring volume of the second fluid driven at the first rate; and driving the second fluid at a second rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Jeffrey James Gylland, Gerald William Brann, James Duane Jacobson, Arthur E.

Publication number: 20220184302Abstract: An infusion pump is configured to provide one or more context cues to a user while the user programs the infusion pump to deliver an infusion therapy. In some embodiments, the infusion pump includes a display configured to display a keypad and to receive input from a user, a processor in communication with the display, and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory stores instructions that cause a keypad sequence monitor to receive context parameters, the context parameters corresponding to a drug selection, a drug concentration selection, or a clinical care area in which the drug is to be infused. The keypad sequence monitor accesses a drug library using the context parameter to determine a valid parameter range corresponding to a range of values between lower and upper soft limit values stored in the drug library.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2022Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Dirceu Galvao Cavendish, JR., Diego Andres Kaplan, James Cudney, Kerin Leigh Klagges-Kingsbury

Publication number: 20150379237Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving auto-programming requests to deliver medication at an infusion pump. The pump may receive the request and analyze the auto-programming settings. The infusion pump may also compare the auto-programming settings with program settings stored in a drug library. When the pump detects an error in the auto-programming request, the pump may generate and display an error message that specifically identifies the cause of the error. The pump may also display a suggested action that may be taken to eliminate the error message.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: Gary Mills, Kristina E.

Publication number: 20050099624Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided to verify the composition of a medical fluid in a fluid infusion channel by comparison with clinician-entered input. Light is transmitted through the channel and detected by a sensor that generates signals representative of the spectral data of the light detected. A processor compares the spectral data of the light detected to the spectral data associated with the expected contents of the channel to verify that the correct fluid is being infused.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Inventors: Linda Staehr, James Cudney, Roger Greenwald
