PATIENT CARE SYSTEM FOR CRITICAL MEDICATIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A patient care system comprising:
- a medical pump for delivering a medicine to a patient; and
a processor in communication with the medical pump, the processor comprising a memory and a logic adapted to;
receive a first input on whether the medicine is a critical medicine;
receive a second input on a trigger condition that triggers a fail-operate mode for the critical medicine, wherein the fail-operate mode continues delivery of the critical medicine when the trigger condition is triggered;
store the first input and the second input in the memory; and
control the pump to operate in the fail-operate mode when triggered.

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.

14. A method for configuring delivery of a critical medicine, the method comprising:
-
providing a medical pump and a processor in communication with the medical pump, wherein the processor comprises a memory and a logic; configuring the processor with an option for entering a first input on whether a medicine is a critical medicine; configuring the processor with an option for entering a second input on a trigger condition that triggers a fail-operate mode, wherein the fail-operate mode continues delivery of the critical when the trigger condition is triggered; storing the first input and the second input in the memory; and controlling the pump to operate in the fail-operate mode when triggered.

20. A patient care system comprising:
-
a medical pump for delivering a medicine to a patient; and a processor in communication with the medical pump, the processor comprising a memory and a logic adapted to; receive a first input on whether the medicine is allowed to be delivered in a fail-operate mode; receive a second input on a trigger condition that triggers the fail-operate mode, wherein the fail-operate mode continues delivery of the medicine when the trigger condition is triggered; store the first input and the second input in the memory; and control the pump to operate in the fail-operate mode for the medicine when triggered.
