Fluid Bolus Delivery
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying, in a graphical user interface, a list of possible flow rates of one or more boluses of a fluid medication to be delivered to a patient and a list of possible durations for the one or more boluses, and a list of possible initiation times for the one or more boluses;
receiving, from the graphical user interface and by a controller connected to the graphical user interface, selections of one or more flow rates from the list of possible flow rates for the one or more boluses, one or more durations from the list of possible durations for the one or more boluses, and one or more initiation times from the list of possible initiation times for the one or more boluses, the selections being performed via the graphical user interface by a clinician; and
delivering, by an infusion device actuated by the controller based on the selections, the one or more boluses to the patient.

Abstract
The subject matter described herein relates to controlling and automating a delivery of one or boluses of a fluid medication to a patient. A user interface can display lists of parameters, such as a list of types of fluid in the fluid medication, a list of modes for delivery of the one or more boluses, a list of flow rates of each bolus delivery, a list of durations corresponding to each bolus, a list of initiation times of each bolus, and a list of initiation events for each bolus. In response, a clinician can select and/or specify parameters for the one or more boluses. Subsequently, the infusion device can deliver the one or more boluses based on the selected or specified parameters. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

9. A system comprising:
-
a user interface device to display a list of possible flow rates of one or more boluses of a fluid medication to be delivered to a patient, a list of possible durations for the one or more boluses, and a list of possible initiation times for the one or more boluses, the user interface device receiving selections of one or more flow rates of corresponding one or more boluses, one or more durations of the corresponding one or more boluses, and one or more initiation times of the corresponding one or more boluses; a controller to receive the selections from the user interface device; and an infusion device to receive at least one control signal from the controller based on the selections, the at least one control signal actuating the infusion device to deliver the one or more boluses to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying, in a graphical user interface of a user interface device, a list of possible flow rates of a bolus of a fluid medication to be delivered to a patient and a list of possible durations for the bolus; receiving, from the graphical user interface and by a controller connected to the graphical user interface, selections of a flow rate of the bolus from the list of possible flow rates, and a duration of the bolus from the list of possible durations, the selections being performed on the graphical user interface by a clinician; and delivering, by an infusion device actuated by the controller and based on the selections, the bolus to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 22, 23)
