Drug delivery system with open architectural framework
First Claim
1. A medical system, comprising:
- (a) a first sedation system, the sedation system comprising;
(i) a monitoring unit, wherein the monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient, and(ii) a drug delivery unit, wherein the drug delivery unit is in communication with the monitoring unit, wherein the drug delivery unit is operable to at least partially automate delivery of one or more drugs to the patient based on the at least one physiological parameter of the patient; and
(b) a central station, wherein the central station is in communication with the first sedation system, wherein the central station is also in communication with a at least one additional sedation system simultaneously, wherein the central station is operable to store patient related data, wherein the central station is further operable to individually access the first sedation system and the at least one additional sedation system;
wherein each sedation system is operated in accordance with a respective safety shell control algorithm, wherein the central station is operable to remotely change the safety shell control algorithm associated with each sedation system.

Abstract
A medical system includes a sedation system and a central station in communication with the sedation system. The sedation system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit is operable to deliver drugs to the patient based on data from the monitoring unit. The central station is operable to store patient related data and access a plurality of sedation systems. The central station may remotely control drug delivery through sedation systems, remotely provide voice instructions through sedation systems, display video feeds from sedation systems, respond to queries from sedation systems, and/or provide other functionalities. The system may also include an instrument that is operable to perform surgical and/or therapeutic procedures on the patient. The sedation system may provide power to the instrument and/or otherwise communicate with the instrument.
