Abstract: A compression garment controller and a method for monitoring compliance of a user wearing a compression garment wrapped around a limb of the user in accordance with a compression therapy. The method comprising directing a flow of fluid from a pressurized fluid flow source to cyclically inflate and deflate an inflatable bladder of the compression garment; receiving pressure signals indicative of fluid pressure in the inflatable bladder from a pressure sensor communicatively coupled thereto during at least one of inflation and deflation of the inflatable bladder in a plurality of successive compression cycles; processing the received pressure signals to determine compliance or non-compliance with the compression therapy; causing at least one a light emitting diode (LED) to illuminate in a first color indicating compliance with the compression therapy; and causing the at least one LED to illuminate in a second color indicating non-compliance with the compression therapy.

Abstract: A device and method of controlling a device. The device may include a controller for controlling operation of a pumping device to producing a flow of fluid in the pump set, the controller including a processor and a memory, the controller being adapted to store in the memory, syringe size data, the controller configured to execute in the processor a syringe detection program to determine a presence and size of the syringe loaded onto a flow control apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for delivering liquid to a subject using a pumping device of a flow control apparatus. The method includes recognizing a pump set including a liquid container with a volume of liquid mounted to the flow control apparatus whereby the pump set is positioned to be acted on by the pumping device to deliver aliquots of liquid through the pump set. Operation of the pumping device is initiated to draw a prescribed volume of the liquid from the liquid container for a duration of time. A single aliquot of the volume of liquid is delivered from the liquid container to the subject. Operation of the pumping device is paused for a predetermined period of time before delivering another single aliquot of the volume of liquid from the liquid container to the subject.
