Abstract: Relocating medical devices for more efficient preventative maintenance. In one embodiment, a computer receives packets related to activity of medical devices, which are transmitted over a communication network. The computer performs deep packet inspection (DPI) of the packets, and calculates, based on results of the DPI, extents of utilization of each of the medical devices since receiving the most recent preventative maintenance. The computer identifies, based on the extents, first and second medical devices that are scheduled for upcoming preventative maintenance and are located in first and second rooms, respectively. An extent of utilization of the first medical device is below a predetermined threshold, and an extent of utilization of the second medical device is above the predetermined threshold. The computer recommends moving the first medical device to the second room and moving the second medical device to the first room.

Abstract: Utilization-based load balancing of medical devices. In one embodiment, a computer receives packets related to activity of medical devices, which are transmitted over a communication network. The computer performs deep packet inspection (DPI) of the packets, and calculates, based on results of the DPI, extents of utilization of each of the medical devices since receiving the most recent preventative maintenance. The computer recommends, based on the extents, which of the medical devices be utilized to treat patients, such that given that a certain medical device and another medical device are both available to treat patients, and an extent of utilization of the certain medical device since its most recent preventative maintenance is greater than an extent of utilization of the other medical device since the other medical device's most recent preventative maintenance, the other medical device is recommended at a higher frequency that the certain medical device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system, a method, and a computer program that enable monitoring of drug library updating at a medical facility. In one embodiment, a computer receives packets transmitted over a communication network, where the packets include data related to activity of infusion pump systems at the medical facility. The computer performs deep packet inspection (DPI) of the packets, and extracts, from results of the DPI, identifiers of at least some of the infusion pump systems that had had their drug library updated to a new version. The computer identifies, based on the identifiers, a certain infusion pump system that had not had its drug library updated to the new version by a certain time, and alerts about a lack of updating to the new version of a drug library of the certain infusion pump system.
