1. A system comprising:
- an inductive backplane configured to secure and inductively power a plurality of detachable medical device modules, the inductive backplane including a plurality of mounting seats, each mounting seat being configured to mechanically secure to a medical device module;
a dedicated inductive transmitter positioned at each of the mounting seats of the inductive backplane, each dedicated inductive transmitter adapted to couple to a corresponding inductive receiver of a corresponding medical device module when the corresponding medical device module is positioned on the mounting seat such that the inductive backplane provides non-contact, inductive power to the corresponding medical device module via a coupling between the inductive transmitter and the corresponding inductive receiver of the corresponding medical device module;
at least one communications interface located at each of the mounting seats; and
a control unit to control, via the at least one communications interface, an infusion attribute of each medical device module when the medical device module is secured to the inductive backplane.

Abstract
A system includes an inductive backplane, at least one communications interface, and a control unit. The inductive backplane is configured to secure and inductively power a plurality of detachable medical device modules. The control unit controls, via the at least one communications interface, at least one attribute of each medical device module when the medical device module is secured to the inductive backplane. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
