Abstract: A medical fluid therapy system having a multi-state alarm feature is disclosed. An example medical fluid therapy system includes a pumping apparatus configured to pump a medical fluid from a fluid container. The example system also includes a processor configured to generate a first alarm signal associated with a first low level event of the medical fluid in the fluid container, generate a second alarm signal associated with a second low level event of the medical fluid in the fluid container, and receive an activation of a snooze element for deactivating the first alarm signal after the first low level event has occurred and enabling the second alarm signal to be activated upon occurrence of the second low level event. The system further includes a server configured to receive and route at least one of the first alarm signal or the second alarm signal for display at a user device.

Abstract: A controller for a programmable medical pump is configured to select a drug library file that corresponds to a received medication name and determine a number of times status information is received within a designated time period from a current time during an infusion therapy. The example controller is also configured to determine if the number of times the status information is received comports with an accumulated medication dosage limit using a dose per administration program parameter. Responsive to the number of times the status information is received matching or exceeding the accumulated medication dosage limit, the controller is configured to prevent another administration of the medication until enough time has passed such that the number of times the status information has been received within the designated time period from the current time is less than the accumulated medication dosage limit.
