Infusion pump automation system and method
First Claim
1. An infusion pump automation system comprising:
- an infusion pump comprising a display configured to display an infusion pump user interface;
a remote processor that is remote to the infusion pump comprising;
a controller interface configured to communicate with the infusion pump;
a communications interface configured to receive a command from a computing system over a network, the command configured to change a first infusion state of the infusion pump to a second infusion state; and
a controller coupled with the controller interface, wherein said controller is configured to;
receive the command generated from the computing system;
determine, from the infusion pump, the first infusion state;
retrieve user interface data from the displayed infusion pump user interface on the display;
parse infusion parameters from the retrieved user interface data;
determine a user interface state based on the parsed infusion parameters;
verify that the command can be executed by the infusion pump based on the first infusion state of the infusion pump and the user interface state;
transmit an instruction for executing the command to the infusion pump to change the infusion pump from the first infusion state to the second infusion state based on the verification;
confirm, from the infusion pump, the execution of the command; and
transmit an indication of the confirmation from the infusion pump to the computing system over the network.

Abstract
An infusion pump automation system and method includes a remote processor and an infusion pump having an infusion pump user interface, including a touch screen display, and associated infusion pump infusion state and infusion pump user interface state. The remote processor is remote to the infusion pump and includes a controller interface and a controller, such that the controller bidirectionally communicates with the infusion pump, determines a current infusion state of the infusion pump and a current infusion pump user interface state and accepts a command to remotely change the infusion state of the infusion pump from an external server. The controller determines if the command is consistent with the current infusion state of the infusion pump and the current infusion pump user interface state, executes the command if the command is able to be successfully executed, and confirms that the command is successfully executed.
