Abstract: An infusion pump system and method with common line auto flush, wherein the infusion pump system has a reservoir, a fluid line in fluid connection with the reservoir and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes receiving an instruction to flush the fluid line at a flush rate, wherein the fluid line comprises a fluid line volume of a second fluid; receiving an instruction to infuse the first fluid at an infusion rate; flushing the fluid line by infusing a fluid line volume of the first fluid from the reservoir at a flush rate greater than the infusion rate; determining that the fluid line volume of the first fluid has been infused at the flush rate; and changing to infusing the first fluid through from the reservoir at the infusion rate.

Abstract: An infusion pump system has a reservoir configured to hold a medicinal fluid, a fluid line in fluid communication with the reservoir and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The infusion pump system is configured to determine a fluid line volume corresponding to a volume of the fluid line, wherein the fluid line comprises a fluid line volume of a non-medicinal fluid; draw the medicinal fluid from the reservoir to deliver the medicinal fluid; infuse the medicinal fluid at a flushing rate causing displacement of a volume of the non-medicinal fluid remaining in the fluid line and infusion of the non-medicinal fluid out of the terminal fluid delivery end at the flushing rate; determine that an infused volume of the medicinal fluid equals or exceeds the fluid line volume; and reduce infusion to an infusion rate lower than the flushing rate.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A multi-function, modular pump system can have a portable infusion pump configured for ambulatory use. The portable infusion pump can have a battery, a portable user interface, and a docking module or controller/container. The docking module or controller/container can have a security feature configured to prevent removal or unauthorized access and a pump mount configured to engage and stabilize the pump within the container, allow pump to maintain infusion continuity when removed, and enable rapid disengagement when authorized. An external user interlace can allow for control of the contained pump, review of pump run status, log event history, settings, and configurations. A machine interface can allow control signals to pass from external interface to a contained, engaged portable pump. A power module can be configured to provide power to both the contained portable infusion pump and the pump docking module or controller/container.

Abstract: An infusion pump system and method provide concurrent infusion with common line auto flush. The infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a mixing chamber, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the mixing chamber 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; determining a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching to a concurrent infusion mode to drive a combination of the first fluid and the second fluid at the first rate along a second flow path including the common line; monitoring a volume of the combination of the first and second fluids driven at the first rate; and driving the combination of the first and second fluids at a combined rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.
