Abstract: A method for remotely activating an infusion pump includes receiving, from a user device, an activation request for the infusion pump, generating a first unique identifier responsive to receiving the request, the first unique identifier including at least one of a graphical symbol or an alphanumeric character, transmitting, to the infusion pump, an indication of the first unique identifier to cause the infusion pump to present a representation of the first unique identifier, receiving, from the user device, a user input indicating an input identifier, validating the user input by comparing the input identifier to the first unique identifier, wherein the second user input is validated responsive to a match between the input identifier and the first unique identifier, and activating the infusion pump responsive to the validation of the user input.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an echogenic member assembly for use with a catheter assembly. The echogenic member assembly includes at least one echogenic member having a cylindrical body extending between a first end and a second end. Thus, the body defines a longitudinal length between the first and second ends. Further, the cylindrical body has an exterior surface extending from the first end to the second end. The exterior surface includes a plurality of discontinuities arranged in a predetermined pattern so as to enhance ultrasonic imaging. In addition, the longitudinal length of the echogenic member is less than a total length of a catheter of the catheter assembly. As such, the echogenic member provides enhanced ultrasonic imaging to the catheter assembly without compromising the inherent flexibility of the catheter.
