Patent Images
1. A patient care system comprising:
- a medical pump configured to deliver a drug to a patient; and
a processor in communication with the medical pump and a memory, the processor is configured to;
receive a first input designating the drug as a critical medicine;
receive a trigger condition before delivery of the drug for which a fail-operate mode for the drug can be selected;
store the drug as critical medicine in the memory;
store the trigger condition with respect to the drug in the memory for which the fail-operate mode for the drug can be selected;
generate a first graphical user interface including an input field configured to enable a user to select the fail-operate mode before delivery of the drug stored as critical medicine;
include the trigger condition in the first graphical user interface, wherein the stored trigger condition includes single air bubble alarm condition, air accumulator alarm condition, proximal occlusion alarm condition, distal occlusion alarm condition, and depleted battery alarm condition;
receive a user selection for activation of the fail-operate mode for the stored trigger condition;
determine whether an alarm condition for the trigger condition selected by the user is activated; and
in response to the determination that the alarm condition is activated, generate an alarm corresponding to the alarm condition and continue delivery of the drug during the alarm condition based on the user selection to activate the fail-operate mode for the trigger condition.

Abstract
A patient care system has a medical pump for delivering a medicine to a patient, and a processor in communication with the pump. The pump is configured to receive a first input on whether the medicine is a critical medicine, and a second input on a trigger condition that triggers a fail-operate mode for the critical medicine. The processor controls the medical pump to operate in the fail-operate mode, where the fail-operate mode continues delivery of the critical medicine when the trigger condition is triggered.
