Patent number: 10617815Abstract: A patient care system is disclosed that includes a medical device such as an infusion pump. The medical device generates a data message containing information such as the status of the therapy being delivered, operating data or both. An alarm generating system assesses the data message from the pump and generates an alarm message if certain conditions established by a first set of rules are met. The alarm message is assessed according to a second set of rules as to whether to suppress the alarm message. The data message contains a required input for both the first and second algorithms. A dispatching system is adapted to forward the alarm message to an alarm destination according to a third set of rules. The alarm destination expresses an alarm upon receipt of the alarm message.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: ICU Medical, Inc.Inventors: William Kenneth Day, Steve Joseph Lindo, Paul John Foryt, Justin Joseph Schmidt, Robert Cousineau, Michael Kremliovsky, Sumant Ramachandra, Anatoly S.

Publication number: 20200061291Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and delivering medication to a patient. The system includes a controller that has a control algorithm and a closed loop control that monitors the control algorithm. A sensor is in communication with the controller and monitors a medical condition. A rule based application in the controller receives data from the sensor and the closed loop control and compares the data to predetermined medical information to determine the risk of automation of therapy to the patient. A system monitor is also in communication with the controller to monitor system, remote system, and network activity and conditions. The controller then provides a predetermined risk threshold where below the predetermined risk threshold automated closed loop medication therapy is provided. If the predetermined risk threshold is met or exceeded, automated therapy adjustments may not occur and user/clinician intervention is requested.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: William Kenneth Day, Timothy L.
