    Abstract: An infusion pump, including: a specially programmed microprocessor; a drip chamber for connection to a source of fluid and to an output tubing; a pumping section including a plurality of fingers and a first actuator, controllable using the microprocessor, for sequentially displacing the plurality of finger to compress a first portion of the output tubing to displace fluid from the drip chamber through the output tubing; an inlet valve disposed between the drip chamber and the pumping section and arranged to compress the output tubing to restrict or block flow through the output tubing; and a second actuator, controllable using the microprocessor, for opening or closing the inlet valve independent of the displacement of the plurality of fingers; or for operating the inlet valve to control a rate of flow of fluid from the drip chamber to the portion of the output tubing, such that the pump can be used in a pumping mode or a gravity infusion mode.

    Abstract: A controller for a programmable medical pump is configured to select a drug library file that corresponds to a received medication name and determine a number of times status information is received within a designated time period from a current time during an infusion therapy. The example controller is also configured to determine if the number of times the status information is received comports with an accumulated medication dosage limit using a dose per administration program parameter. Responsive to the number of times the status information is received matching or exceeding the accumulated medication dosage limit, the controller is configured to prevent another administration of the medication until enough time has passed such that the number of times the status information has been received within the designated time period from the current time is less than the accumulated medication dosage limit.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing medical treatment, such as medication, to a patient. The administration of the medication may include the use of an infusion pump. The system may be implemented in a variety of ways including as a computer program. The computer program accessing information related to the identity of a clinician, the identity of a patient, the identity of a medical treatment, and the identity of a medical device. The computer program determines whether the medical treatment has been previously associated with the patient and whether a plurality of operating parameters for the medical device are consistent with the medical treatment. The computer program also includes logic for providing a first error signal if the medical treatment has not been previously identified with the patient; and a second error signal if the operating parameters for the medical device are not consistent with the medical treatment.

    Abstract: A medical treatment administration system for delivering a medical treatment to a patient. The system has a medical device, an electronic processor coupled to the medical device, and a sensor coupled to the processor. The sensor receives one or more signals which it transfers to the processor. The signals can be derived from the patient's physiological condition and/or the environment of the patient. The processor receives the signals and performs a calculation of the signal. Based on the result of the calculation, the processor regulates the distribution of medical treatment to the patient over a period of time.

    Abstract: A remotely controlled-medication delivery system (610) is disclosed. The remotely controlled-medication delivery system (610) includes: (a) a medical treatment device (612) that has a supply of medication and a means for delivering the medication to the patient, where the medical treatment device (612) is disposed in a first location, (b) a processor (628) coupled to the medical device (612), where the processor (628) is configured to execute a control algorithm, (c) a sensing device (616) coupled to the processor (628) executes the control algorithm, where the sensing device (616) sends a signal to the control algorithm, wherein the control algorithm processes the signal received from the sensing device (616) and develops a feedback control based on a result of processing the signal to determine whether medication should be delivered from the medical treatment device (612) to the patient, and providing the feedback control to the medical treatment device (612) to control the delivery of the medical treatment to the patient, and (d) a remote controller (646) disposed at a second location remote from the first location, where the remote controller (646) has an input device to control operation of the processor (628) and the control algorithm executed by the processor (628).
