Infusion pump with an electronically loadable drug library and a user interface for loading the library
First Claim
1. A system for creating a customized drug library for an electronically loadable drug infusion pump, said system comprising:
- a drug library containing a plurality of drug entries, there being associated with each drug entry a set of associated drug delivery parameters and/or drug delivery protocols for configuring the drug infusion pump;
means for selecting a set of drug entries from among said plurality of drug entries in said drug library;
means for adding the selected drug entries along with the sets of drug delivery information associated therewith to a customized library; and
loading means for causing the system to electronically load said customized library into the drug infusion pump.

33. A drug infusion pump for use with a container containing a particular drug, said pump comprising:
-
a drive mechanism for causing the particular drug to be delivered to a patient from the container;
a programmable controller controlling the drive mechanism;
an electronically loadable memory inside the pump;
input circuitry through which the electronically loadable memory can be electronically loaded with a drug library, said drug library containing a plurality of drug entries, there being associated with each drug entry a set of associated drug delivery parameters and/or drug delivery protocols for configuring the drug infusion pump;
a user interface enabling a user to program the programmable controller, said user interface comprising;
means for enabling the user to select a drug entry from the electronically loaded drug library; and
means for configuring the programmable controller with the set of drug delivery parameters associated with the selected drug. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)

52. A drug infusion pump for use with a container containing a given drug, said container including a machine readable label, the label specifying an identifier of the given drug and possibly other information about the given drug, said pump comprising:
-
a drive mechanism for causing the given drug to be delivered to a patient from the container;
a programmable controller controlling the drive mechanism;
a memory for storing a drug library, said drug library containing a plurality of drug entries, there being associated with each drug entry a set of associated drug delivery parameters for configuring the drug infusion pump;
a label reader for reading the contents of the label on the container;
means responsive to the label reader for identifying an entry in the drug library that corresponds to the given drug;
means for configuring the programmable controller by using the set of drug delivery parameters associated with the identified entry from the drug library; and
means for causing the controller to run the drive mechanism using the set of drug delivery parameters associated with the identified entry from the drug library. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 59)
