Assignee: CAREFUSION 303, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G  H | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. An infusion pump, comprising:
a housing;
a wireless transceiver;
a pump motor mounted within the housing, wherein a force from the pump motor causes delivery of a fluid from a fluid source to a patient;
a location sensor configured to provide information associated with a location of the infusion pump;
a battery conductively coupled with: (a) the wireless transceiver to provide power to communicate messages via the wireless transceiver; (b) the pump motor to provide power to activate the pump motor, and (c) the location sensor to provide power to activate the location sensor;
one or more processors conductively coupled with the battery; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the infusion pump to:
monitor, using the location sensor, a geofence parameter of the infusion pump, the geofence parameter comprising one of a location and environment of the medical device;
determine a change in the location of the infusion pump based on the geofence parameter;
identify an operation mode of the infusion pump associated with the geofence parameter;
automatically switch, responsive to the changed location, the operation mode of the infusion pump from a first mode currently programmed for care of the patient to a second mode for care of the patient, the second mode using a second geofence parameter different than a first geofence parameter used by the first mode to control at least one of the battery, the pump motor, or the wireless transceiver of the infusion pump;
determine one of a quantity of medication available to be dispensed by the infusion pump and a battery capacity of the battery;
determine, based on the change in location of the infusion pump, one of the quantity of medication is insufficient to follow a current medication dispensing protocol of the infusion pump and the battery capacity is insufficient to power the infusion pump for a predetermined period of time; and
generate an alert according to an alerting sequence associated with the second mode, wherein one of the second mode is associated with a clinical care facility and the alerting sequence is adjusted to behave according to alerting escalation rules used by the clinical care facility, and the second mode is associated with a home care location and the alerting sequence is adjusted to behave according to predetermined home alerting escalation rules.
