Patient hydration system with redundant monitoring
First Claim
1. A patient hydration system comprising:
- an infusion subsystem which infuses an infusion fluid into a patient and including at least two means for determining the amount of infusion fluid infused;
a urine output measurement subsystem which measures urine output by the patient;
a console including an input for setting a desired fluid balance; and
a controller associated with the console and responsive to the urine output measurement subsystem and including a balancing function which controls the infusion subsystem to administer infusion fluid into the patient based on an input desired fluid balance and an amount of urine output by the patient;
the controller further responsive to said two means for determining and configured to calculate the amount of infusion fluid infused into the patient based on a determined amount of infusion fluid infused.

Abstract
A patient hydration system including an infusion device for administering hydration fluid to a patient, and a hydration fluid measurement device responsive to a source of hydration fluid, a patient urine output measurement device. A controller is responsive to the hydration fluid measurement device and the patient urine output measurement device. The controller operates the infusion device, in response to the patient urine output measurement device and the hydration fluid measurement device, to hydrate the patient based on the patient'"'"' s urine output. The controller also monitors the operation history of the infusion device thereby providing redundancy in the measurement of the amount of hydration fluid administered to the patient.
