Infusion pump with multiple orientation display
First Claim
1. An infusion pump comprising:
- a drive mechanism;
an assembly operable with the drive mechanism, the assembly configured to deliver a flowable material to a patient;
a mountable housing holding the drive mechanism and configured at its front side to receive the assembly and at its backside to mount to an external support in either a first orientation or a second orientation, the second orientation being rotated approximately 90 degrees from the first orientation about an axis extending perpendicularly from the front side of the housing, wherein the housing supports the drive mechanism and the assembly in each of the orientations;
a controller operably connected to the housing; and
a display operably connected to the controller and supported by the front side of the housing, the display configured to be rotatably responsive to the first or second orientation in which the housing is mounted to the external support, so that information displayed by the display is oriented right-side-up regardless of whether the front side is in the first orientation or the second orientation when the display is rotated approximately 90 degrees.

11. An infusion pump comprising:
-
a drive mechanism; an assembly operable with the drive mechanism, the assembly configured to deliver a flowable material to a patient; a mountable housing holding the drive mechanism and configured to removeably receive the assembly, the housing including a mount enabling the housing to be removeably mounted to an external support in either a first orientation in which the assembly extends horizontally or a second orientation in which the assembly extends vertically; a controller operably connected to the housing; and a display operably connected to the controller and supported at a front side of the housing, the second orientation being rotated approximately 90 degrees from the first orientation about an axis extending perpendicularly from the front side of the housing, the display configured to be rotatably responsive to the first or second orientation in which the housing is mounted by the mount to the external support, so that information displayed by the display is oriented right-side-up regardless of whether the front side is in the first orientation or the second orientation. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An infusion pump comprising:
-
a drive mechanism; an assembly operable with the drive mechanism, the assembly configured to deliver a flowable material to a patient; a housing configured to be mounted to an external support in either a first orientation or a second orientation, wherein the housing supports the drive mechanism and the assembly in each of the orientations; a controller operably connected to the housing; and a user interface operably connected to the controller and supported by the housing, the user interface including a control panel and a display, the control panel visually unresponsive when rotated from the first orientation to the second orientation, the display configured to be responsive when rotated from the first orientation to the second orientation so that information displayed by the display is oriented right-side-up in either orientation, the second orientation being rotated approximately 90 degrees from the first orientation about an axis extending perpendicularly from the display. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
