Abstract

An equipment mounting apparatus on which a plurality of equipment devices are mountable, each equipment device having, in a memory thereof, drug dosage information associated with drug usage location information, includes a main body having a plurality of installation portions, each installation portion being configured to receive one of the equipment devices. Each of the equipment devices is configured such that, when the drug usage location information is specified, the equipment device displays the related drug dosage information based on the drug usage location information that is specified. The equipment mounting apparatus is configured to set a standard specifying drug usage location information and to use the standard specifying drug usage location information to cause the drug usage location information of each of the plurality of equipment devices to coincide with the standard specifying drug usage location information.

Claims

1. A rack device on which a plurality of infusions pumps are mounted, each of the plurality of infusion pumps having, in a memory thereof, drug dosage information associated with drug usage location information, the rack device comprising:

a rack control unit configured to control a first storage unit comprising a standard infusion pump judgment section and further configured to control a rack side communication device for communicating with each of the plurality of the infusion pumps,

wherein each of the plurality of the infusion pumps comprises an infusion pump control unit to control an infusion pump side profile data storage unit, a display, and an input device and is configured to display the drug dosage information associated with the drug usage location information,

wherein the infusion pump control unit is connected to the rack control unit through a bus, and

wherein the rack control unit is configured to generate standard specifying drug usage location information based on drug usage location information stored in an infusion pump side profile data storage unit of a first infusion pump and cause a drug usage location information of each of the plurality of infusion pumps to automatically coincide with the standard specifying drug usage location information and store the standard specifying drug usage location information in an infusion pump side profile data storage unit of each of the plurality of infusion pumps, the first infusion pump being a first installed infusion pump installed on the rack device.

2. The rack device according to claim 1, wherein the rack control unit is further configured to detect a change in the drug usage location information stored in one of the plurality of infusion pumps to a post-change drug usage location information and cause the drug usage location information of each of the plurality of infusion pumps to coincide with the post-change drug usage location information.

3. The rack device according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of installation portions, each of the plurality of installation portions receiving one of the plurality of infusion pumps.

4. A rack device on which a plurality of infusions pumps are mounted, each of the plurality of infusion pumps having, in a memory thereof, drug dosage information associated with drug usage location information, the rack device comprising:

a rack control unit configured to control a first storage unit comprising a rack position judgment section and further configured to control a rack side communication device for communicating with each of the plurality of the infusion pumps,

wherein each of the plurality of infusion pumps comprises an infusion pump control unit to control an infusion pump side profile data storage unit, a display, and an input device and is configured to display the drug dosage information associated with the drug usage location information,

wherein the infusion pump control unit is connected to the rack control unit through a bus, and

wherein the rack control unit is configured to generate standard specifying drug usage location information based on drug usage location information stored in an infusion pump side profile data storage unit of a predetermined infusion pump and cause a drug usage location information of each of the plurality of infusion pumps to automatically coincide with the standard specifying drug usage location information and store the standard specifying drug usage location information in an infusion pump side profile data storage unit of each of the plurality of infusion pumps, the predetermined infusion pump being an infusion pump installed on a predetermined location on the rack device.

5. The rack control device according to claim 4, wherein the rack control unit is further configured to detect a change in the drug usage location information stored in one of the plurality of infusion pumps to a post-change drug usage location information and cause the drug usage location information of each of the plurality of infusion pumps to coincide with the post-change drug usage location information.

6. The rack control device according to claim 4, further comprising a plurality of installation portions, each of the plurality of installation portions receiving one of the plurality of infusion pumps.

7. The rack control device according to claim 6, wherein the predetermined infusion pump is an infusion pump installed in a predetermined one of the plurality of installation portions of the rack device.

8. The rack control device according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined one of the plurality of installation portions of the rack device is a top one of the plurality of installation portions.
