Abstract

A user-friendly infusion device is provided, and more particularly, a infusion device including a user interface capable of providing necessary alarms to a user (a healthcare worker) when problems occur when setting a dose and a infusion flow rate before a infusion. The infusion device includes: a setting unit for setting a dose and a infusion flow rate, or the like; and a display unit for displaying the dose and the infusion flow rate, or the like, and is characterized in that when the infusion flow rate (mL/h) is input in the setting unit, the flow rate is increased or decreased step by step in synchronization with a buzzer sound for each press of a 100-digit key. Also, the infusion device includes: a setting unit for setting a dose and a infusion flow rate, or the like; and a display unit for displaying the dose and the infusion flow rate, or the like, and is characterized in that lengths thresholds of detected air is classified into two predetermined stages so that either one can be selected.

Claims

1. A infusion device comprising:

a setting unit for setting a dose and a infusion flow rate, or the like; and

a display unit for displaying said dose and said infusion flow rate, or the like,

wherein when said infusion flow rate (mL/h) is input in said setting unit, the flow rate is increased or decreased step by step in synchronization with a buzzer sound for each press of a 100-digit key.

2. A infusion device comprising:

a setting unit for setting a dose and a infusion flow rate, or the like; and

a display unit for displaying said dose and said infusion flow rate, or the like,

wherein lengths thresholds of detected air is classified into two stages so that either one can be selected.

3. A infusion device comprising in a door:

a setting unit for setting a dose and a infusion flow rate, or the like; and

a display unit for displaying said dose and said infusion flow rate, or the like,

wherein setting input in said setting unit is being prohibited when said door is opened and/or during a temporary stop.

4. A infusion device comprising in a door:

a setting unit for setting a dose and a infusion flow rate, or the like; and

a display unit for displaying said dose and said infusion flow rate, or the like,

wherein setting input in said setting unit is being prohibited when said door is opened and/or during a start of a infusion.
