    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for preventing delivery of a nontherapeutic dose of medication to a patient and/or preventing medications from being administered to the patient that causes documented allergic or drug sensitivity reactions to the patient. The networked medication delivery system [20] includes an infusion device [22] programmable by the user with instructions for administering the medication, and a computing device [26] for determining whether the programmed data would yield a clinically acceptable dose or the medication is in the list of documented medication that would cause an allergic or drug sensitivity reaction to the patient. The system may also include at least one monitor [24] for displaying at least a portion of the programmed data, and an alerting device [28] for notifying medical personnel when the inputted dosage data are determined to yield a clinically unacceptable dose or the medication is in the list of documented medications that would cause an allergic or drug sensitivity to the patient. The infusion device may be configured to become deactivated to prevent delivery of the medication, when the dose is outside the therapeutic range or to prevent mediation of documented allergic or drug sensitivity to a patient is delivered to the patient. Also included is a database [27] that may be remotely situated from the system [20] and accessed via a network [30].

    Abstract: MEDICATION DELIVERY SYSTEM A medication delivery system (20) having features of the present invention comprises a medical container (26) holding a prescribed medication (27) to be delivered to a patient, a tag 24 adapted to be worn by the patient, a handheld computing device (22), and an electronic medication delivery device (30). Data on the medication (27) is contained in a fast label (28) on the medication container (27). The first label (28) also contains the instruction on how the medication is delivered to the patient, including the appropriate settings for an electronic medication delivery device for delivering the medication to the patient. Patient data is contained in a second label (29) on the tag (24) worn by the patient. The medication data, medication delivery instruction, and patient data are provided in machine readable formats. The handheld computing device (22) reads the medication data and the medication delivery instruction on the medication container (26) and the patient data on the patient tag (24). The handheld computing device (22) stores the information obtained and performs a matching check to confirm that the medication data matches with the patient data. Upon a confirmed match, it transmits the medication delivery instruction to the electronic medication delivery device (30), which downloads the instruction, programs the delivery device (30), and prompts an operator to begin delivering the medication(27) to the patient according to the downloaded instruction.

    Abstract: A medical treatment administration system 610 for delivering a medical treatment to a patient 618. The system 610 has a medical device 612 disposed in a first location, an electronic processor 628 coupled to the medical device 612, a sensor 616 coupled to the processor 628, and a remote controller 646 disposed at a second location remote from the first location. The remote controller 646 has an input device to control operation of the electronic processor 628. The sensor 616 receives one or more signals which it transfers 624 to the processor 628. The signals can be derived from the patient's physiological condition and/or the environment of the patient. The processor 628 receives the signals and performs a calculation 630 of the signal. Based on the result of the calculation, the processor 628 regulates the distribution of medical treatment to the patient 618 over a period of time.
