First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of performing a certification on an enteral feeding pump based on at least one operating parameter of the pump, the method comprising:
- communicating certification information between the pump and a certification application remote from the pump; and
verifying that the at least one operating parameter is within a specified operating metric, the at least one operating parameter selected from a group including status of an ultrasonic sensor, status of a power button, status of a rotor encoder, position of a rotor encoder, status of an accelerometer, motor current and ultrasonic sensor voltage;
wherein communicating certification information comprises receiving at the pump the specified operating metric from the certification application, and wherein verifying that the at least one operating parameter is within the specified operating metric comprises comparing using a processor in the pump the at least one operating parameter against the specified operating metric; and
delivering nutritional liquid to a patient using the enteral feeding pump, wherein comparing the at least one operating parameter of the pump is performed during delivery of the nutritional liquid to the patient.

Abstract
A method of performing a certification on an enteral feeding pump based on at least one operating parameter of the pump includes communicating certification information between the pump and a certification application remote from the pump. The at least one operating parameter is compared to a specified operating metric to verify that the at least one operating parameter of the pump is within the specified operating metric.

8. An enteral feeding pump for use with a nutritional liquid feeding set to deliver nutritional liquid through the feeding set, the enteral feeding pump comprising:
-
a housing capable of receiving at least a portion of the feeding set; a pumping device supported by the housing and configured to act on the feeding set to produce fluid flow of the nutritional liquid in the feeding set when the at least a portion of the feeding set is received by the housing; a processor configured to determine at least one operating parameter of the enteral feeding pump; a memory for storing the at least one operating parameter; and a transceiver configured for communication of certification information with a certification application remote from the enteral feeding pump, the certification information including at least one of the at least one operating parameter and an operating metric for the at least one operating parameter, the at least one operating parameter being selected from a group including status of an ultrasonic sensor, status of a power button, status of a rotor encoder, position of a rotor encoder, status of an accelerometer, motor current and ultrasonic sensor voltage; wherein the processor is configured to determine the at least one operating parameter and the memory is configured to store the at least one operating parameter during operation of the enteral feeding pump to supply the nutritional liquid to a patient. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
