Abstract:
An infusion pump system and method with common line auto flush, wherein the infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the junction and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes infusing the first fluid at a first rate along a first flow path; entering a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching from the first flow path to a second flow path; driving the second fluid at the first rate along the second flow path; monitoring volume of the second fluid driven at the first rate; and driving the second fluid at a second rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.

Claim (Index 1):
A control system for controlling operation of an infusion pump of an infusion pump system, the infusion pump system comprising a first reservoir configured to hold a first fluid, a second reservoir configured to hold a second fluid, a junction in fluid communication with the first reservoir and the second reservoir, a common line in fluid communication with the junction and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and the infusion pump, wherein the infusion pump is operable to drive fluid through the common line toward the terminal fluid delivery end, the control system comprising:\n one or more hardware processors; and a memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the one or more hardware processors, configure the infusion pump to:\n receive instructions to deliver the first fluid at a first rate followed by the second fluid at a second rate; \n infuse the first fluid at the first rate along a first flow path, the first flow path including the common line; \n determine a common line volume corresponding to a volume of the common line; \n infuse the second fluid at the first rate along a second flow path, the second flow path including the common line; \n determine that an infused volume of the second fluid equals or exceeds the common line volume; and \n change the infusion rate of the second fluid from the first rate to the second rate, and continue to infuse the second fluid along the second flow path.
