Drug infusion system with calculator
First Claim
1. A drug infusion system, comprising:
- a plurality of infusion pump modules and a central management unit interconnected with the infusion pump modules to provide centralized control, the central management unit including means for communicating with a user that includes;
(a) means for enabling the user to initiate the display of a menu of infusion-rate-related parameters;
(b) means for enabling the user to selectively assign values for any of the parameters in the menu; and
(c) means for automatically calculating an infusion rate value according to the values so assigned for purposes of controlling the infusion pump modules accordingly.

Abstract
A drug infusion system includes a plurality of infusion pump modules and a central management unit interconnected with the infusion pump modules to provide centralized control. The central management unit includes a touch screen for communicating with a user, the touch screen including an arrangement for enabling the user to initiate the display of a menu of infusion-rate-related parameters and selectively assign values for any of the parameters in the menu while an infusion rate value is automatically calculated according to the values so assigned. One embodiment enables temporary transfer from a titrate screen to a calculator screen with which the values are assigned, and a separate set of values is preserved for each infusion pump module.
