Abstract

Provided is a liquid delivering pump which can determine whether the pump is suitable for use, while in a standby state, and thus, the pump can be efficiently managed and utilized. A liquid delivering pump which delivers a drug to the inside of a living body includes a storage unit that stores a drug library, a starting state switching unit that switches a starting state of the liquid delivering pump between a liquid deliverable state and a standby state, and a display unit that displays various types of information related to the liquid delivering pump. The display unit displays specification information which specifies the drug library stored in the storage unit, while in the standby state.

Claims

1. A liquid delivering pump which delivers a drug to an inside of a living body, comprising:

a control unit;

a storage unit that stores a drug library;

a starting state switching unit that switches a starting state of the liquid delivering pump between one of the following states;

a liquid deliverable state where the liquid delivering pump performs operations related to delivery of a liquid;

a power-off state where the liquid delivering pump is powered off and is not receiving power from the power source converter, and where no operation is accepted excluding pressing of a power ON/OFF button; and

a standby state, where the liquid delivering pump is powered off and is receiving power from the power source converter, wherein the standby state is a rechargeable state for recharging a rechargeable battery, and where no operation is accepted excluding pressing of the power ON/OFF button; and

a display unit driven by a display unit driver electrically connected to the control unit;

wherein the display unit displays various types of information related to the liquid delivering pump,

wherein the liquid delivery pump is controlled by the control unit,

wherein, while in the standby state, the display unit displays specification information which specifies the drug library stored in the storage unit, when the liquid delivering pump is plugged into an outlet and when the liquid delivering pump is switched off concurrently with recharging the rechargeable battery, and

wherein the specification information includes identification information for a version of the drug library.

2. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 1, wherein the specification information includes updated identification information of the drug library.

3. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 2, wherein the drug library includes a plurality of profiles, and the specification information includes information which specifies the profile applied to the liquid delivering pump.

4. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 3, wherein profile identifiers (IDs) are respectively set to cause the plurality of profiles to be identifiable, and wherein the display unit displays a visually identifiable icon replacing the profile ID set to the applied profile when displaying the information which specifies the profile applied to the liquid delivering pump in the specification information.

5. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 3, wherein the display unit varies a display state at a time of displaying the specification information in accordance with the applied profile.

6. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 5, wherein the display unit varies the display state at the time of displaying the specification information in accordance with an elapsed time from an update of the drug library.

7. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 5, wherein the storage unit also stores a periodic inspection time, and wherein the display unit displays information which notifies a user of an arrival state of the periodical inspection time, while in the standby state.

8. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 7, further comprising:

a shock detection unit that detects whether the liquid delivering pump is subjected to a shock, wherein the display unit displays information which notifies the user of whether the shock is detected by the shock detection unit, while in the standby state.

9. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 8, wherein the display unit includes a power mode switching unit which switches a power mode between a normal power mode and an energy-saving power mode, in which less power is consumed than the normal power mode, and wherein the power mode switching unit switches the power mode from the normal power mode to the energy-saving power mode when no operation is performed with respect to the liquid delivering pump for a predetermined time, while in the normal power mode.

10. The liquid delivering pump according to claim 9, wherein the display unit displays a reception screen which receives selection of a drug type to be delivered, while in the liquid deliverable state, and displays the specification information on the reception screen.
