1. A therapy gas delivery system comprising:
- a device comprising;
a drug source;
a first memory to store drug data comprising one or more of drug identification,drug expiration date and drug concentration of the drug source; and
a first transceiver in communication with the first memory; and
a control module that controls delivery of therapy gas to a subject by delivering therapy gas to a ventilator circuit, the control module comprising a second memory and a second transceiver, wherein the second transceiver is in communication with the second memory,wherein the first transceiver and the second transceiver send and receive signals to communicate the drug data to the control module and to verify one or more of the drug identification, the drug concentration and that the drug is not expired.

Abstract
A gas delivery system including a gas delivery device, a control module and a gas delivery mechanism is described. An exemplary gas delivery device includes a valve assembly with a valve and circuit including a memory, a processor and a transceiver in communication with the memory. The memory may include gas data such as gas identification, gas expiration and gas concentration. The transceiver on the circuit of the valve assembly may send wireless optical line-of-sight signals to communicate the gas data to a control module. Exemplary gas delivery mechanisms include a ventilator and a breathing circuit. Methods of administering gas are also described.
