Title: Identification system for use with an infussion pump that checks drugs against a patients data before use
Inventor: MARTINEZ JOHN
IPC: G16H70/40
Filed: 2006-02-11
Abstract: An identification system and method for medication management is disclosed. The system comprises a controller (24), a drug library accessible by the controller (24) and an identification module (26) configured to read machine-readable information. The drug library contains drug library profiles including a data set of drug information. Patient identification information is gathered from machine-readable identification devices (32) worn by patients (34). Drug information is gathered from machine-readable identification devices (28) affixed to drugs or the containers (30) of drugs. The controller (24) compares the read information to each other and to the drug library profile and provides alerts or error signals in the event of an inconsistency. In one case, identification devices are read by an optical reader (40) fixedly mounted to the identification module (26). In another case, identification devices (28, 36) are read by an optical reader that is hand-held and mobile and can be moved to the location of the identification device (28, 36). The hand-held reader communicates with the identification module (26) by wired or wireless means. In another case, a third reader that is non-optical and wireless is fixedly mounted to the identification module (26). The controller (24) is also configured to provide alerts or error messages in the event that there is an inconsistency between the drug information on the drug or drug container (30) when compared to the drug library profile associated with the controller (24). The controller (24) may also control the administration of a drug by way of an automatic syringe (22).

Title: Automatic pressure controlled relay pump system for a plurality of medication fluid inputs and a multiple of liquid outputs with flow through reflux barriers
Inventor: REBOURS PIERRE
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 2008-02-26
Abstract: A continuous pump relay system for injecting medication fluids or discharging liquids into an intravenous (IV) line tube, comprising a plurality of at least two drivers to operate respective plungers with end seals located in syringe type containers; tubes are connected to the vessels and feed the liquid into and through a reflux barrier; each line has a pressure sensor to generate a input signal that goes to a controller, which in turn generates an output signal to move each driver independently, calculated from the respective pressure input signal. Valves are located in each line between the container and reflux barrier that open when a container is connected to the system and close when the container is removed. The pressure sensor measures the differential pressure across the valve. When the medicament has been discharged from the first container, the driver moves the plunger backwards to reduce pressure within the tube. A second driver then operates in a forward direction to increase the pressure in the tubing up to a setpoint or reference pressure value. A control loop within the controller varies the change in the rate of the pressure increase until the pressure setpoint is reached.
