Abstract: A system and method for creating and updating a mobile medical record are provided. The system and method include a radio frequency identification tag storing medical record data such as patient data. A handheld computing device downloads a medical care plan from a record database via a communication network. The handheld computing device is equipped with a radio frequency identification interrogator that is capable of reading data from and writing data to the radio frequency identification tag. Thus, the handheld computing device is capable of creating and updating a medical record stored on the radio frequency identification tag.

Abstract: A system and method for tracking, monitoring and managing a material are provided. The system and method include material having a radio frequency identification tag storing material information including tracking information, usage information and inventory information. A number of radio frequency identification readers are strategically placed throughout a desired environment to track and monitor the movement of the material within the desired environment. Further radio frequency identification readers throughout the desired environment are configured to track the usage of the material and to monitor the material for improper usage. Thus, the readers are able to create a comprehensive material tracking, monitoring and managing system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for creating on site, remote from a sterile environment, parenteral solutions in large volume parenteral containers for intravenous administration to a patient. In an embodiment, this system comprises an empty large volume container including at least one port for accessing an interior of the container. The port includes a sterilizing filter for sterilizing a fluid fed through the port into the container. A second container is provided including a solute and having means for coupling the second container to the large volume container and thereby providing fluid communication therebetween allowing the solute to be received within the interior of the container. A sterile water source is also provided including means for placing the sterile water source in fluid communication with the port and allowing water to flow from the sterile water source into the interior of the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container, system, and method for creating parenteral solutions at a site, remote from sterile environments. The system includes a flexible container that is empty except for a prepackaged amount of a solute that is housed in the interior of the container. The container includes at least one port and a sterilizing filter in communication with an interior of the port. The container is so constructed and arranged that a fluid flow path is created from the port through the filter and into the interior of the container. A sterile water source including means for establishing fluid flow from the sterile water source into the port is provided. Accordingly, sterile water can flow from the sterile water source through the filter into the container where it is mixed with the solute to create a parenteral solution that can then be infused into a patient. A method and container are also provided.
