MEDICAMENT INFUSION SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
First Claim
1. A medicament infusion system comprising:
- a cylindrical tubing member having a wall defining an interior passage, a medicament source end, and a patient recipient end, the tubing member having a medicament source connector configured to connect to a medicament source reservoir at the medicament source end and a patient recipient connector configured to connect to a patient recipient at the patient recipient end;
a medicament data transmitter operably connected to communicate with the medicament source connector, the medicament data transmitter configured to transmit medicament source data to the medicament source connector;
a communication connection embedded within the wall of the cylindrical tubing member, the communication connection configured to transmit medicament source data from the medicament source connector to the patient recipient connector;
a wireless tag operably connected to communicate with the patient recipient connector, the wireless tag configured to transmit the medicament source data; and
a controller operably connected to receive medicament source data from the wireless tag, the controller including circuitry to determine a connection status between the medicament source connector and the patient recipient connector.
