Abstract:
1. A pump comprising: a primary control unit comprising a first processor that configures operation of one or more modular pumping units, and a plurality of docking stations configured to accept one or more modular pumping units such that each modular pumping unit may be docked and undocked in a docking station without docking or undocking another of the modular pumping units; and a plurality of modular pumping units removably docked to the primary control unit, each modular pumping unit comprising: wherein the first processor is configured to communicate the one or more operating parameters to the second processor when the modular pumping unit is docked to the primary control unit; and a second power source removably coupled to the modular pumping unit when the modular pumping unit is undocked, the second power source comprising a communication module configured to communicate wirelessly with the first processor; wherein the second processor of each modular pumping unit is configured to operate according to the one or more operating parameters to pump the fluid after being undocked from the primary control unit, and modify the operation of the modular pumping unit in response to actuation of at least one input element on the modular pumping unit.
