transmit the updated drug library; and
a medical device in electronic communication with the medication management unit, the medical device having a display including the backlight, the medical device having both an A/C power mode and a non A/C power mode and being operable to run alternatively on one of A/C power in the A/C power mode and non A/C power in the non A/C power mode, the medical device having a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the medical device further having a timed display dimming function responsive to the power save time out time limit, the memory containing programming code to;
receive the updated drug library at the medical device;
receive a designated clinical care area selection at the medical device that corresponds to the selected clinical care area from the updated drug library;
set as a current power saving mode on/off setting for the designated clinical care area selection the default power saving mode on/off setting from the updated drug library; and
operate the medical device in an A/C power mode in accordance with the current power saving mode on/off setting, enabling the timed display dimming function when the current power saving mode on/off setting is set to an on setting and disabling the timed display dimming function when the current power saving mode on/off setting is set to an off setting;
wherein the timed display dimming function, when enabled, is operable to dim the backlight to a preset power saving brightness level after the power save time out time limit, and the timed display dimming function, when disabled, is operable to maintain the backlight at a current brightness level.
