    Abstract: An apparatus, comprising: a coupler adapted to couple to a drip chamber; a support member operatively coupled to the coupler; and an image sensor having a field of view and operatively coupled to the support member, wherein the image sensor is configured to view the drip chamber within the field of view; at least one processor operatively coupled to the image sensor to receive image data therefrom, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: capture a first image; create a first thresholded image from the first image by comparing each pixel of the first image to a threshold value; determine a set of pixels within the first thresholded image connected to a predetermined set of pixels within the first thresholded image; filter all remaining pixels of the first thresholded image that are not with the set of pixels, the filter operates on a pixel-by-pixel basis within the time domain to generate a first filtered image; remove pixels determined to not be part of a drop from the first thresholded image using the first filtered image to generate a second image; determine a second set of pixels within the second image connected to a predetermined set of pixels within the second image to generate a third image, the third image identifies the second set of pixels within the second image; determine a first length of the drop by counting the number of rows containing pixels corresponding to the second set of pixels within the third image, the first length corresponding to a first estimated drop size; update a background image using the first image; create a second thresholded image by comparing first image with background image; sum the rows of second thresholded to create a plurality of row sums, each row sum corresponds to a row of the second thresholded image; start at a row position of the second thresholded image having a first sum of the plurality of sums that corresponds to the first length; increment the row position until the row position corresponds to a corresponding row sum that is zero; determine a second length is equal to the present row position, the second length corresponding to a second estimated drop size; and average the first and second lengths to determine a average length, the average length corresponding to a third estimated drop size.

    Abstract: A flow meter, comprising: a coupler adapted to couple to a drip chamber (4); a support member operatively coupled to the coupler; an image sensor (11) having a field of view and operatively coupled to the support member, wherein the image sensor is positioned to view the drip chamber within the field of view; a backlight (18) having at least one light, wherein the backlight is coupled to the support member, wherein the backlight is adapted to illuminate the image sensor to expose the image sensor such that the field of view of the image sensor at least partially images at least a portion of the drip chamber; and at least one processor operatively coupled to the image sensor to receive image data therefrom, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: select a region of interest of the image sensor; determine if a pixel of the image sensor is within the region of interest; activate the light of the backlight if the pixel of the image sensor is within the region of interest; and expose the pixel of the image sensor.

    Abstract: There is described a method of filtering a captured image of a drip chamber configured to allow a drop of fluid to fall within the drip chamber, the method comprising: capturing an image of the drip chamber with an image sensor; determining if the captured image contains a visual obstruction; applying a blurring function to the captured image, the blurring function configured to eliminate an amount of detail in the captured image; and determining if the captured image contains a match to a template. There is also described an apparatus comprising: an image sensor configured to capture an image of a drip chamber; and a processor operatively coupled to the image sensor, the processor being configured to: determine if the captured image contains a visual obstruction; apply a blurring function to the captured image, the blurring function configured to eliminate an amount of detail in the captured image; and determine if the captured image contains a match to a template.

    Abstract: A peristaltic pump and a method of operating an infusion pump are disclosed. The peristaltic pump comprises, a pump housing, a door pivotally coupled to the pump housing having a platen disposed on an inner portion of the door, a cam-follower shaft disposed within the housing, a cam shaft disposed approximately parallel with the cam-follower shaft, a first cam disposed on the cam shaft to rotate with the cam shaft, a first cam follower pivotally coupled to the cam-follower shaft, the first cam follower having an active end configured to actuate toward the door when closed against the housing, the first cam follower also having a follower end configured to engage with the first cam, a second cam disposed on the cam shaft to rotate with the cam shaft, a second cam follower pivotally coupled to the cam-follower shaft, the second cam follower having an active end configured to actuate toward the door when closed against the housing, the second cam follower also having a follower end configured to engage with the second cam, a third cam disposed on the cam shaft to rotate with the cam shaft, wherein the third cam is disposed between the first and second cams on the cam shaft, a third cam follower pivotally coupled to the cam-follower shaft, the third cam follower having an elongated active end which is elongated relative to at least one of the first and second cam follower active ends and configured to actuate toward the platen when the door is closed against the housing, the third cam follower also having a follower end configured to engage with the third cam, and a spring coupled to the third cam follower to bias the follower of the third cam follower against the third cam. The third cam follower and third cam are configured such that as the elongated active end actuates away from the platen, the third cam actuates the third cam follower away from the cam shaft.
