Abstract: The invention provides a pump for pumping fluid includes a tube platen, a plunger, a bias member, inlet and outlet valves, an actuator mechanism, a door having a lever and an interlock, a pressure sensor, and a processor. The plunger is configured for actuation toward and away from the infusion-tube when the tube platen is disposed opposite to the plunger. The bias member urges the plunger toward the tube platen. The inlet valve is upstream of the plunger and is configured for actuation between an occluding position and a non-occluding position. The outlet valve is downstream of the plunger and is configured for actuation between an occluding position and a non-occluding position. The actuator mechanism is configured to control the actuation of the plunger, the inlet valve and the outlet valve. The interlock is configured to mechanically engage the lever when the door is in an open position. The pressure sensor is disposed adjacent to at least one of the inlet valve, the outlet valve, and the plunger. The processor is coupled to the pressure sensor to receive a pressure signal from the pressure sensor. The inlet valve, the outlet valve, and the plunger are configured to pump fluid in a plurality of cycles, each cycle having a trough pressure level and a peak pressure level. By measuring variance in pressure levels, the pump is able to determine the presence of downstream occlusion which prevents or restricts pumping of the fluid.

Abstract: Provided is a pump for pumping fluid which includes a tube platen, a plunger, a bias member, inlet and outlet valves, an actuator mechanism, a pressure sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a downstream occlusion exists dependent on one or more pressure signals received from the pressure sensor. The plunger is configured to engage and disengage from the actuator mechanism and the pressure sensor is configured to measure the peak pressure level after the plunger disengages from the actuator in each cycle. Such an arrangement permits a pump which provides efficient and accurate notice of downstream occlusion in order to promote patient safety.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump is disclosed. The peristaltic pump comprises a plunger configured to engage with a tube; a spring configured to bias the plunger against the tube; a position sensor operatively coupled to the plunger; an inlet valve configured to impede fluid flow through the tube positioned upstream of the plunger; an outlet valve configured to impede fluid flow through the tube positioned downstream of the plunger; and at least one processor in operative communication with the position sensor. The position sensor is configured to determine a position of the plunger. The at least one processor is configured to monitor the position of the plunger when the inlet and outlet valves are closed and the plunger is being biased by the spring, and determine at least one of an occlusion, an air bubble, and a leak exists in accordance with the monitored position of the plunger.

Abstract: A method for estimating volume of drop in intravenous drip chamber using pixels contained in the drop’s outline is described. The method determines a relevant subset of pixels in the image of the drop in the drip chamber by assessing which pixels represent the edge of the drop and whether the edge of the drop is contiguous with a baseline (215) determined within the drip chamber. The pixels within the outline are counted to indicate the area in the image, and the area is rotated and thus integrated to determine the volume.
