MEDICAL SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS DELIVERY OF A DRUG
First Claim
1. A medical system comprising a medical-system controller,wherein the controller is operatively connectable to a distributed plurality of predetermined patient monitors to receive at least one physiological parameter measured by each of the plurality of patient monitors,wherein the controller is adapted to choose a first group of the patient monitors for a predetermined first medical procedure and a predetermined drug-delivering first medical effector,wherein the controller is operatively connectable to the first medical effector and, when operatively connected, is adapted to control a flow rate of a drug from the first medical effector to a patient for the first medical procedure using at least the received measured physiological parameters from the chosen first group of the patient monitors, when the controller is operatively connected to the patient monitors, without using any other physiological parameter of the patient,wherein the controller is adapted to choose a second group of the patient monitors different from the first group for a different predetermined second medical procedure and the first medical effector;
- andwherein the controller, when operatively connected to the first medical effector, is adapted to control a flow rate of a drug from the first medical effector to the patient for the second medical procedure using at least the received measured physiological parameters from the chosen second group of the patient monitors, when the controller is operatively connected to the patient monitors, without using any other physiological parameter of the patient.

Abstract
A first medical system includes a controller, a plurality of predetermined patient monitors, and a predetermined drug-delivering medical effector. The controller is adapted to choose different groups of the patient monitors for different medical procedures involving the medical effector. A second medical system includes a controller which is adapted to identify, by querying, connected ones of a multiplicity of medical effectors and connected ones of a plurality of patient monitors and is adapted to control at least one connected medical effector using at least some of the connected patient monitors for a predetermined medical procedure.

9. A medical system comprising a medical-system controller,
wherein the controller is connectable to up to a distributed plurality P of patient monitors which are operatively connectable to a patient to each measure at least one physiological parameter of the patient and which are adapted to identify themselves when queried, wherein the controller is connectable to up to a distributed multiplicity M of drug-delivering medical effectors which are operatively connectable to the patient and which are adapted to identify themselves when queried, wherein the controller is adapted to identify, by querying, connected ones of the M medical effectors and connected ones of the P patient monitors, and wherein the controller is adapted to control at least one of the identified connected ones of the M medical effectors using at least the physiological parameters supplied by at least some of the identified connected ones of the P patient monitors for a predetermined medical procedure.
