Abstract: Infusion pumps having a fluid pump and a processor are disclosed. The processor is configured to transmit a signal to make a medical facility network aware that the infusion pump is within a wireless network range of a medical treatment area of a medical facility, receive a request for device identity information specific to the infusion pump, transmit the device identity information specific to the infusion pump, receive, if the infusion pump is authenticated by the medical facility network, an initialization signal from the medical facility network, wherein the initialization signal causes initialization of the infusion pump within the medical treatment area, receive, from a sensor via the medical facility network after receiving the initialization signal, a measurement, and control the adjustable rate of the fluid pump based at least in part on the measurement. Systems having infusion pumps are also disclosed.

Abstract: According to the present invention, an improved method of anchoring floating waterbed mattress inserts is provided.
