Background of the Invention The administration of therapeutic fluids to a patient is well known in the art. Many types of medical delivery devices exist to deliver various therapeutic fluids to a patient, such as, for example, parenteral fluids, drugs or other medicaments, electrolytes, blood and blood products, and the like. One particular type of medical delivery device is an infusion pump, which can deliver one or more of these therapeutic fluids to a patient via a variety of administration types, such as, for example, intravenous (IV), infra-arterial (IA), subcutaneous, epidural, irrigation of fluid spaces applications, and the like.

In the case of an infusion pump, the line set is typically loaded into a delivery 3o mechanism of the pump, which facilitates delivery of the fluid to the patient.
Each type of administration and each type of therapeutic fluid typically involve numerous operational parameters, variables, constraints and other related information, such as medical and pharmaceutical related information, that must be monitored and followed to
2 ensure proper, effective and safe delivery of therapeutic fluids to the patient and effective treatment of the patient. The nature and the amount of this information make its entry into a medical device a daunting task that can be susceptible to human error. Even though most known delivery devices are microprocessor-controlled, software-driven units having associated memory and are thus capable of customization and control by a user-typically via a download of specific data or software from another source-there remains a risk of improperly matching data and software to the appropriate therapy, drug or -fluid, or administration set, especially from a logistical standpoint. Additionally, presently known delivery devices, such as infusion pumps, operate within a fixed operating configuration l0 with a fixed set of functionality, regardless of the therapy, drug or fluid, or administration set. This can be another source of error. The potential for error in the delivery of fluids to a patient are numerous and the minimization of such potential is an important goal.
The present invention addresses these and other issues and generally provides new and improved systems, devices and methods associated with administration line sets and associated therapeutic fluids for use with medical delivery devices for delivery of the fluids to a patient.

The identifier 18 of the slide clamp 42 can be in any form, such as, for example, a bar code (including but not limited to one-dimensional or two-dimensional bar
8 codes) or other IR technology, an RFID, such as an RFID tag, any other passive RF device or transponder that can be interrogated, a magnetic storage device, a non-volatile memory, or any other device or technology that can represent the identification information to, and allow retrieval by, the pump 32. °The pump 32 includes the recognition system 20 as previously described that is capable of recognizing the identifier 18 andlor obtaining, or retrieving, the identification information for use by the pump 32. In a preferred embodiment, the identifier 18 is a bar code 50 on the slide clamp 42, as shown in FICi. 3, and the recognition system 20 is a bar code reader (in a preferred embodiment, is integrated into the clamp receptacle 44) that can interrogate the bar code 50 and obtain the to identification information for use by the pump 32. In a preferred embodiment, the identification information includes information regarding identification of the medicament 36, or fluid 36, a type of the line set 34, a type of administration associated with the line set 34, and/or other desired information, such as, for example, an age of a patient or other patient data, a type of therapy, a type of disease, and a type of condition of the patient. It is further understood that the identifier 18 can be located on a number of different locations of the slide clamp 42. The recognition system 20 is positioned accordingly based on the position of the identifier 18 or the slide clamp 42.
When the pump 32 obtains the identification information from the identifier 18, the pump 32 can utilize this information in a number of ways, including to alter operation of the pump. For example, once the pump 32 obtains the identification information, the pump 32 can be configured in accordance with the identification information. In a preferred embodiment, the pump 32 is automatically configured when the identification information is obtained from the identifier 18, or configured in response to obtaining the information.
Configuration may include set up and/or execution of any number of operational parameters and/or user interfaces of the pump 32. For example, upon configuration, the pump operating system may modify availability of certain functionality, such as by adding or enabling certain functionality specifically associated with the identification information.
For example, configuration may include enabling a function that should only be available for a particular type of administration, fluid or line set. Conversely, the pump operating system may modify availability of certain functionality by disabling functionality for particular types of administrations, fluids or line sets. For example, the identifier 18 may include information that identifies the type of line set 34 being used, e.g., epidural. Based on identification of the line set 34 being an epidural line set, subsequent operation of the

For example, the identifier 18 may include information that identifies the type of line set 34 being used, e.g., epidural. Based on identification of the line set 34 being an epidural line set, subsequent operation of the
9 pump 32 and treatment of the patient can be dictated by this initial identification. The pump 32 could also be configured to operate based on recognition of a type of material that forms the line set 34.
The configuration aspect of the present invention can have numerous applications within the context of a medical delivery system. While some examples of specific configurations are described herein, it should be understood that there are numerous other potential configurations that are achievable, alone or in combination, in accordance with the basic principles of the present invention, and although not specifically described, are nevertheless intended to be within the scope of the present invention by virtue of their to application of these principles.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the controller (C) of the pump 32 can be configured to facilitate configuration of the pump based on a set of configuration information associated with predetermined identification information, which is preloaded in the memory (M). In such cases, the recognition system receives identification information from the identifier associated with the administration line set and the processor retrieves the set of configuration information associated with the received identification information based on a comparison of the predetermined identification information with the received identification information. Upon a match between the received identification information and the predetermined identification information, the processor configures the controller based on the set of configuration information. Match criteria can be defined in a number of ways, such as, for example, a match between a type of line set or type of administration associated with a line set. The match criteria may also be defined by identification of certain parameters or values associated with the identification information, such as, for example, identification of a parameter or value falling within a predetermined range. It is contemplated that a healthcare facility can customize the controller of the pump by defining the predetermined identification information, match criteria andlor the preloaded set of configuration information or profiles.
In certain instances, it may be desirable to modify availability of features and functions of the pump 32 based on the identification information, such as add functionality to, or enabling functionality on the pump 32 for certain identification information or other criteria. For example, the added functionality may include messaging specifically associated with the identification information, such as messaging to a user regarding unique characteristics of a particular type of fluid or administration line set. The added functionality may also include accessibility by a user to a set of guidelines for administration of a particular fluid, such as guidelines for the recommended administration of a particular drug. The added functionality may also include accessibility by a user to a 5 set of guidelines on a predetermined policy, such as a policy set by a hospital, regarding line set changes. The functionality may include certain notifications, such as notification to a user of a type-of administration associated with a particular fluid. In certain instances, it may be desirable to provide functionality that includes linking a user to certain types of information, such as a drug protocol associated with a drug identified by the identification to information. In this example, the protocol may include information regarding dosing and administration specific to the drug. In other instances, it may be desirable to add functionality that includes a warning system, which may include an alarm, for drug incompatibility based on identification of a particular drug. In some instances, it may also be desirable to add functionality that includes an escalating alarm function, which provides for escalation of an alarm associated with a particular event associated with treatment when the alarm is not addressed by a caregiver. In certain instances, it may also be desirable to remove from, or disable functionality on the pump 32 based on the identification information. For example, a particular function may be disabled based on the identification information, such as disablement of a function based on an identification of a type of administration. As a more specific example, the function of automatic piggybacking may be disabled on the pump 32 based on identification of an epidural type of administration.
The configuration may include adjustments or changes to the system. For example, an adjustment to a sensing system of the pump 32 may be desirable based on the identification information.
It is also contemplated that the configuration may include functionality based on identification of a treatment system, such as identification of a specific combination of container, fluid, line set, andlor administration type, e.g., an administration line set kit. In such instances, functionality may be added that is treatment system specific, such as the addition of notifications or guidelines for the specific combination. For example, a particular fluid container and line set combination, such as a combination included in a particular line set kit, may have certain guidelines applicable only to the particular combination.
The configuration may also include changes to a user interface 46 (shown in FIG.
2) of the pump 32 based on the configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, added functionality may require the addition of one or more soft-keys 60 on a display 48 of the pump 32. Certain labels, messaging or other information may also be provided on the display 48 within a display field 62 of the display 48 based on the added functionality.
Conversely, certain soft-keys 60 may be "grayed-out" or removed if certain functionality is disabled and certain labels or information within the display field 62 may be removed. The display field 62 can be further divided into smaller sub-fields that can also be customized.
It should be noted that the soft-keys 60 can alternatively serve as labels for hard keys (not shown) on the user interface 46 of the pump 32. It should be apparent that when the user interface of the pump 32 is customized based on the identification information, many sources of potential error can be eliminated.
The identification information associated with the identifier 18 can also be used in diagnostic applications. For example, the information may indicate to the pump 32 that certain tests or diagnostic routines should be performed. It is also contemplated that the identifier 18 can be associated with a diagnostic line set. In this case, specific operational parameters, mechanisms, and alarms on the pump 32 can be evaluated for proper operation when the diagnostic line set is loaded into the pump 32 and the pump 32 recognizes the identification information as indicating that a diagnostic line set has been loaded. For example, the identifier 18 associated with a diagnostic line set can instruct the pump 32 to perform a check and certify that associated alarms are in proper working order. A
diagnostic administration kit may include a container containing a particular fluid to be used in the testing. In such case, once the pump 32 recognizes the identifier 18 associated with the diagnostic kit, the pump 32 can run a series of checks wherein the expected operational parameters of the pump 32 based on the particular fluid can be used as a diagnostic benchmark.
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of a system of the present invention, generally designated with the reference numeral 100. Similar to the embodiments described above, the system 100 utilizes a disposable element and an identifier. In one preferred embodiment, a disposable element such as a disposable pump is utilized. The disposable pump can be a micro-pump or a MEMS (micro electro-mechanical system) pump, or other type of disposable pump. As shown in FIG. 5, the system 100 generally includes a medical device 112, preferably a MEMS pump, an administration line set 114 and a container 116.
The system 100 may also take the form of any of the systems such as disclosed in commonly-owned U.S. Patent Application Number 10/040,887, entitled "Infusion System," which application is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
The container 116 is a container similar to the container 16 described above.
In one preferred embodiment, the container 116 is a flexible bag adapted to contain a medication, or medicament, such as a medical fluid. The administration line set 114 is similar the line set 14 described above. The line set 114 includes a tubing having one end connected to or otherwise in communication with the container 116 and another end having a catheter or other device for communication with the patient.
As further shown in FIG. 5, the MEMS pump 112 is operably associated with the line set 114. The MEMS pump 112 may be connected to the line set 114 in various configurations. For example, the MEMS pump 112 may have an inlet port 120 and an outlet port 122 wherein the MEMS pump 112 is connected at an intermediate portion of the line set 114. Accordingly, a portion of the line set 114 is connected to the inlet port 120 and a portion of the line set 114 is connected to the outlet port 122 wherein the MEMS
pump 112 is operably connected to the line set 114. Once properly connected, the MEMS
pump 112 can pump fluid from the container 116, through the line set 114 and to the patient. The disposable pump 112 could further be incorporated into an interior of the line set 114 or otherwise take some integral form with the line set 114.
As discussed, the pump 112 may be a MEMS pump 112. MEMS devices are typically etched in silicon. It is further understood that MEMS may also describe other types of micro electromechanical system devices such as devices that are micro-molded in plastic. Thus, MEMS devices may include devices etched in silicon, molded in plastic or otherwise fabricated on a small scale.
The system 100 may also use an identifier 118. In one preferred embodiment, the identifier 118 is associated with or otherwise connected to the MEMS pump 112.
It is understood, however, that the identifier 118 may also be associated with other elements, and connected at other locations such as the disposable line set 114 as shown in FIG. 5.
The identifier 118 is similar as described above and can contain any of the information or identifying indicia or data as described above.
The system 100 may further use a controller 130. The controller 130 is operably associated with the MEMS pump 112. The controller 130 may communicate with the MEMS pump 112 via a wireless connection. Alternatively, a hard connection may be utilized wherein the MEMS pump 112 may be plugged into the controller 130. It is further understood that the controller 130 can be integral as part of the MEMS pump 112. It is further understood that the controller 130 can be a separate hand-held computer or a separate network controller that controls the pump 112 via a network communication link.
Similar to the discussion above, the controller 130 has a recognition system 132. The recognition system 132 is capable of recognizing the data contained in the identifier 118.
The recognition system 132 can cooperate with the identifier 118 to operate the system 100. For example, the identifier 118 may contain information that identifies the type of line set 114 connected to the MEMS pump 112. The identifier 118 may further to container any of the other types of information as described above. The information contained on the identifier 118 may also include data relating to functionality that instructs the controller 130 in controlling operation of the MEMS pump 112. It is further understood that the disposable element such as the MEMS pump 112 can be activated by a separate patient care system.
It is understood that the disposable element can take a variety of different forms.
The disposable element could be considered the MEMS pump 112 or the line set 114, or the combination of both elements. In addition, other types of MEMS components could also be used in the system 100.
FIG. 6 discloses another embodiment of a system of the present invention, generally 2o designated with the reference numeral 200. Similar to the embodiments described above, the system 200 utilizes a disposable element and an identifier. Similar to the system 100 of FIG. 5, a MEMS component such as a MEMS pump is utilized. As shown in FIG. 6, the system 200 generally includes a medical device 212, preferably a MEMS pump 212, an administration line set 214 and a container 216. The system further includes a programming device 220 and a controller 230.
Similar to the systems described above, an identifier 218 is associated with a disposable element. In the preferred embodiment of FIG. 6, the identifier 218 is associated with the MEMS pump 212 and can contain any of the data as previously described. As further shown in FIG. 6, a programming device 220 is utilized to program the identifier 218 with the desired data, identification code or other identifying information.
As part of this programming function, the programming device 220 may program the identifier 218 with an additional identification component to be used at a separate stage of the system 200. It is understood that the identifier 218 will be a device having memory as is known and also be capable of being re-configurable, re-settable or changeable. Once programmed by the programming device 220, the MEMS pump 212 may be activated by a controller 230. The controller 230 may be part of an overall patient care system operated, for example, in a hospital setting. In one embodiment, the controller 230 could be in the form of a hand-held computer such as a personal digital assistant. The controller 230 recognizes the identifier 218 and activates the pump 212. Once activated, the controller 230 controls the MEMS
pump 212 wherein the pump 212 operates to deliver medication to a patient. The pump 212 has the ability to recognize a predetermined event such as when the fluid is generally substantially pumped from the container 216 to define a generally empty container. For l0 example, a predetermined pressure sensed by the MEMS pump 212, once reached, could cause the MEMS pump 212 to shut down. Once the MEMS pump 212 shuts down, this condition could trigger the additional identification component, stored in memory with the identifier 218, or at another location in a separate memory device, to change the state of the additional identification component to indicate that the MEMS pump 212 has shut down.
Thus, when the pump 212 recognizes that the container 216 is empty, the additional identification component changes state in memory and may be considered to be activated.
Upon activation, the additional identification component is capable of being recognized.
This recognition can take various forms. For example, in one embodiment, a signal is communicated back to the controller 230 and/or the programming device 220 to indicate to the programming device 220 that the original identification data may be re-used in a subsequent operation of a system 200. Alternatively, the controller 230 andlor programming device 220 can pull or read the additional information component from its location such as on the identifier 218 on the pump 212. Thus, the additional identification component allows for the identifier 218 to comprise a reusable identification component.
In addition, the identifier 218 is capable of being settable and then re-settable or configurable and then re-configurable (e.g. changeable). In one embodiment, the identifier 218 is an RFID identifier. The component can also comprise any form of electrically-alterable non-volatile memory. It is understood that the communication can be directly to the programming device 220 or communicated through the controller 230. By using the additional identification component, or additional information bit, the identification code can be re-used to enhance overall operation of the system. Also, it is understood that the predetermined event described above could also be an event such as when the controller indicates an end to an infusion therapy (e.g., independent of the amount of medicament remaining in the container).
It is further understood that while the additional identification component can be re used for a new infusion therapy with a new set of system components, the system is 5 configured such that it will not allow the additional identification component to be used with the same components as in the original therapy. Thus, the additional identification component and for example, the disposable MEMS pump used in a first infusion therapy cannot be re-used together in a second infusion therapy. If this was attempted, the system would not operate for the second infusion therapy. The additional identification l0 component can only be used with new components for a new therapy.
Additional features can be utilized with any of the embodiments described above.
As discussed, a kit can be formed that may include the container 16, the line set 14 and the identifier 18. The identifier 18 can be associated with or connected to either of the container 16 and the line set 14. In some embodiments, the container 16 may contain a 15 pre-attached reconstitution device having a pre-attached drug container such as a vial. The reconstitution device could be activated to reconstitute the drug with the fluid 17 in the container 16. It is understood that the identifier 18 can also include information regarding the vial that may be pre-attached to the reconstitution device. In another embodiment, a disposable pump such as a micro-pump or MEMS pump can also be connected to the line set 14 and be considered as part of the kit. The identifier 18 associated with such kits can have any of the information described above for overall proper operation of the system. In yet another embodiment, the container 16, or container 16 associated with the kit may include a pre-mixed medicament 17. The identifier 18 associated with the pre-mixed medicament 17 can have an expiration date associated therewith. The delivery device or pump used with such kit has the recognition system that recognizes the identifier 18 and a date of operation of the pump. The pump is configured such that it will not operate if the recognition system determines the operation date is a date after the recognized expiration date. Thus, if the recognition system of the pump reads an expired date, the pump will not operate and give an indication of an expired medicament. In one preferred embodiment, the system will also include an alarm system operably associated with the system that is capable of generating an alarm if an expired medicament is detected. The alarm can take many different forms and may have audible components, visual components or a combination of both.
It is further understood that a pump utilized in the present invention will incorporate safety software. The safety software is capable of generating basic failure alarms wherein the pump would assume a fail safe condition such as no free flow of medicament through the pump. Various softwarelpump configurations may be utilized. For example, all software may be located on the pump head, or all software may be located off of, or remote from the pump head. In addition, all software may be located off of the pump head with the exception of the specific safety software being located on the pump head.
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES
Two specific examples of the application of the principles of the present invention to will now be described.
In the first example, an administration line set having an identifier is loaded into the pump. Upon insertion of the slide clamp into the slide clamp receptacle on the pump, the recognition system of the pump obtains the identification information from the identifier.
In this example, the identification information indicates to the pump that the type of administration associated with the line set that was loaded into the pump is enteral. Based on the identification of the enteral administration type, the pump software performs a configuration of the pump for enteral administration based on one of a set of administration line set profiles associated with enteral administration. In this particular example, the recordation of volume history is enabled by the pump.
In the second example, an administration line set having an identifier is loaded into the pump. Upon insertion of the slide clamp into the slide clamp receptacle on the pump, the recognition system of the pump obtains the identification information from the identifier. In this example, the identification information indicates to the pump that the type of administration associated with the line set that was loaded into the pump is epidural. Based on the identification of the epidural administration type, the pump software performs a configuration of the pump for epidural administration. In this case, the pump enables functionality that includes a continuous drip of the fluid, disablement of a piggy back feature of the pump, disablement of an air line sensor of the pump, and disablement of an occlusion detection feature of the pump.
It should be understood that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or central characteristics thereof. The present embodiments, therefore, are to be considered in all respects illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein.
The configuration aspect of the present invention can have numerous applications within the context of a medical delivery system. While some examples of specific configurations are described herein, it should be understood that there are numerous other potential configurations that are achievable, alone or in combination, in accordance with the basic principles of the present invention, and although not specifically described, are nevertheless intended to be within the scope of the present invention by virtue of their to application of these principles.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the controller (C) of the pump 32 can be configured to facilitate configuration of the pump based on a set of configuration information associated with predetermined identification information, which is preloaded in the memory (M). In such cases, the recognition system receives identification information from the identifier associated with the administration line set and the processor retrieves the set of configuration information associated with the received identification information based on a comparison of the predetermined identification information with the received identification information. Upon a match between the received identification information and the predetermined identification information, the processor configures the controller based on the set of configuration information. Match criteria can be defined in a number of ways, such as, for example, a match between a type of line set or type of administration associated with a line set. The match criteria may also be defined by identification of certain parameters or values associated with the identification information, such as, for example, identification of a parameter or value falling within a predetermined range. It is contemplated that a healthcare facility can customize the controller of the pump by defining the predetermined identification information, match criteria andlor the preloaded set of configuration information or profiles.
In certain instances, it may be desirable to modify availability of features and functions of the pump 32 based on the identification information, such as add functionality to, or enabling functionality on the pump 32 for certain identification information or other criteria. For example, the added functionality may include messaging specifically associated with the identification information, such as messaging to a user regarding unique characteristics of a particular type of fluid or administration line set. The added functionality may also include accessibility by a user to a set of guidelines for administration of a particular fluid, such as guidelines for the recommended administration of a particular drug. The added functionality may also include accessibility by a user to a 5 set of guidelines on a predetermined policy, such as a policy set by a hospital, regarding line set changes. The functionality may include certain notifications, such as notification to a user of a type-of administration associated with a particular fluid. In certain instances, it may be desirable to provide functionality that includes linking a user to certain types of information, such as a drug protocol associated with a drug identified by the identification to information. In this example, the protocol may include information regarding dosing and administration specific to the drug. In other instances, it may be desirable to add functionality that includes a warning system, which may include an alarm, for drug incompatibility based on identification of a particular drug. In some instances, it may also be desirable to add functionality that includes an escalating alarm function, which provides for escalation of an alarm associated with a particular event associated with treatment when the alarm is not addressed by a caregiver. In certain instances, it may also be desirable to remove from, or disable functionality on the pump 32 based on the identification information. For example, a particular function may be disabled based on the identification information, such as disablement of a function based on an identification of a type of administration. As a more specific example, the function of automatic piggybacking may be disabled on the pump 32 based on identification of an epidural type of administration.
The configuration may include adjustments or changes to the system. For example, an adjustment to a sensing system of the pump 32 may be desirable based on the identification information.
It is also contemplated that the configuration may include functionality based on identification of a treatment system, such as identification of a specific combination of container, fluid, line set, andlor administration type, e.g., an administration line set kit. In such instances, functionality may be added that is treatment system specific, such as the addition of notifications or guidelines for the specific combination. For example, a particular fluid container and line set combination, such as a combination included in a particular line set kit, may have certain guidelines applicable only to the particular combination.
The configuration may also include changes to a user interface 46 (shown in FIG.
2) of the pump 32 based on the configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, added functionality may require the addition of one or more soft-keys 60 on a display 48 of the pump 32. Certain labels, messaging or other information may also be provided on the display 48 within a display field 62 of the display 48 based on the added functionality.
Conversely, certain soft-keys 60 may be "grayed-out" or removed if certain functionality is disabled and certain labels or information within the display field 62 may be removed. The display field 62 can be further divided into smaller sub-fields that can also be customized.
It should be noted that the soft-keys 60 can alternatively serve as labels for hard keys (not shown) on the user interface 46 of the pump 32. It should be apparent that when the user interface of the pump 32 is customized based on the identification information, many sources of potential error can be eliminated.
The identification information associated with the identifier 18 can also be used in diagnostic applications. For example, the information may indicate to the pump 32 that certain tests or diagnostic routines should be performed. It is also contemplated that the identifier 18 can be associated with a diagnostic line set. In this case, specific operational parameters, mechanisms, and alarms on the pump 32 can be evaluated for proper operation when the diagnostic line set is loaded into the pump 32 and the pump 32 recognizes the identification information as indicating that a diagnostic line set has been loaded. For example, the identifier 18 associated with a diagnostic line set can instruct the pump 32 to perform a check and certify that associated alarms are in proper working order. A
diagnostic administration kit may include a container containing a particular fluid to be used in the testing. In such case, once the pump 32 recognizes the identifier 18 associated with the diagnostic kit, the pump 32 can run a series of checks wherein the expected operational parameters of the pump 32 based on the particular fluid can be used as a diagnostic benchmark.
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of a system of the present invention, generally designated with the reference numeral 100. Similar to the embodiments described above, the system 100 utilizes a disposable element and an identifier. In one preferred embodiment, a disposable element such as a disposable pump is utilized. The disposable pump can be a micro-pump or a MEMS (micro electro-mechanical system) pump, or other type of disposable pump. As shown in FIG. 5, the system 100 generally includes a medical device 112, preferably a MEMS pump, an administration line set 114 and a container 116.
The system 100 may also take the form of any of the systems such as disclosed in commonly-owned U.S. Patent Application Number 10/040,887, entitled "Infusion System," which application is expressly incorporated by reference herein.
The container 116 is a container similar to the container 16 described above.
In one preferred embodiment, the container 116 is a flexible bag adapted to contain a medication, or medicament, such as a medical fluid. The administration line set 114 is similar the line set 14 described above. The line set 114 includes a tubing having one end connected to or otherwise in communication with the container 116 and another end having a catheter or other device for communication with the patient.
As further shown in FIG. 5, the MEMS pump 112 is operably associated with the line set 114. The MEMS pump 112 may be connected to the line set 114 in various configurations. For example, the MEMS pump 112 may have an inlet port 120 and an outlet port 122 wherein the MEMS pump 112 is connected at an intermediate portion of the line set 114. Accordingly, a portion of the line set 114 is connected to the inlet port 120 and a portion of the line set 114 is connected to the outlet port 122 wherein the MEMS
pump 112 is operably connected to the line set 114. Once properly connected, the MEMS
pump 112 can pump fluid from the container 116, through the line set 114 and to the patient. The disposable pump 112 could further be incorporated into an interior of the line set 114 or otherwise take some integral form with the line set 114.
As discussed, the pump 112 may be a MEMS pump 112. MEMS devices are typically etched in silicon. It is further understood that MEMS may also describe other types of micro electromechanical system devices such as devices that are micro-molded in plastic. Thus, MEMS devices may include devices etched in silicon, molded in plastic or otherwise fabricated on a small scale.
The system 100 may also use an identifier 118. In one preferred embodiment, the identifier 118 is associated with or otherwise connected to the MEMS pump 112.
It is understood, however, that the identifier 118 may also be associated with other elements, and connected at other locations such as the disposable line set 114 as shown in FIG. 5.
The identifier 118 is similar as described above and can contain any of the information or identifying indicia or data as described above.
The system 100 may further use a controller 130. The controller 130 is operably associated with the MEMS pump 112. The controller 130 may communicate with the MEMS pump 112 via a wireless connection. Alternatively, a hard connection may be utilized wherein the MEMS pump 112 may be plugged into the controller 130. It is further understood that the controller 130 can be integral as part of the MEMS pump 112. It is further understood that the controller 130 can be a separate hand-held computer or a separate network controller that controls the pump 112 via a network communication link.
Similar to the discussion above, the controller 130 has a recognition system 132. The recognition system 132 is capable of recognizing the data contained in the identifier 118.
The recognition system 132 can cooperate with the identifier 118 to operate the system 100. For example, the identifier 118 may contain information that identifies the type of line set 114 connected to the MEMS pump 112. The identifier 118 may further to container any of the other types of information as described above. The information contained on the identifier 118 may also include data relating to functionality that instructs the controller 130 in controlling operation of the MEMS pump 112. It is further understood that the disposable element such as the MEMS pump 112 can be activated by a separate patient care system.
It is understood that the disposable element can take a variety of different forms.
The disposable element could be considered the MEMS pump 112 or the line set 114, or the combination of both elements. In addition, other types of MEMS components could also be used in the system 100.
FIG. 6 discloses another embodiment of a system of the present invention, generally 2o designated with the reference numeral 200. Similar to the embodiments described above, the system 200 utilizes a disposable element and an identifier. Similar to the system 100 of FIG. 5, a MEMS component such as a MEMS pump is utilized. As shown in FIG. 6, the system 200 generally includes a medical device 212, preferably a MEMS pump 212, an administration line set 214 and a container 216. The system further includes a programming device 220 and a controller 230.
Similar to the systems described above, an identifier 218 is associated with a disposable element. In the preferred embodiment of FIG. 6, the identifier 218 is associated with the MEMS pump 212 and can contain any of the data as previously described. As further shown in FIG. 6, a programming device 220 is utilized to program the identifier 218 with the desired data, identification code or other identifying information.
As part of this programming function, the programming device 220 may program the identifier 218 with an additional identification component to be used at a separate stage of the system 200. It is understood that the identifier 218 will be a device having memory as is known and also be capable of being re-configurable, re-settable or changeable. Once programmed by the programming device 220, the MEMS pump 212 may be activated by a controller 230. The controller 230 may be part of an overall patient care system operated, for example, in a hospital setting. In one embodiment, the controller 230 could be in the form of a hand-held computer such as a personal digital assistant. The controller 230 recognizes the identifier 218 and activates the pump 212. Once activated, the controller 230 controls the MEMS
pump 212 wherein the pump 212 operates to deliver medication to a patient. The pump 212 has the ability to recognize a predetermined event such as when the fluid is generally substantially pumped from the container 216 to define a generally empty container. For l0 example, a predetermined pressure sensed by the MEMS pump 212, once reached, could cause the MEMS pump 212 to shut down. Once the MEMS pump 212 shuts down, this condition could trigger the additional identification component, stored in memory with the identifier 218, or at another location in a separate memory device, to change the state of the additional identification component to indicate that the MEMS pump 212 has shut down.
Thus, when the pump 212 recognizes that the container 216 is empty, the additional identification component changes state in memory and may be considered to be activated.
Upon activation, the additional identification component is capable of being recognized.
This recognition can take various forms. For example, in one embodiment, a signal is communicated back to the controller 230 and/or the programming device 220 to indicate to the programming device 220 that the original identification data may be re-used in a subsequent operation of a system 200. Alternatively, the controller 230 andlor programming device 220 can pull or read the additional information component from its location such as on the identifier 218 on the pump 212. Thus, the additional identification component allows for the identifier 218 to comprise a reusable identification component.
In addition, the identifier 218 is capable of being settable and then re-settable or configurable and then re-configurable (e.g. changeable). In one embodiment, the identifier 218 is an RFID identifier. The component can also comprise any form of electrically-alterable non-volatile memory. It is understood that the communication can be directly to the programming device 220 or communicated through the controller 230. By using the additional identification component, or additional information bit, the identification code can be re-used to enhance overall operation of the system. Also, it is understood that the predetermined event described above could also be an event such as when the controller indicates an end to an infusion therapy (e.g., independent of the amount of medicament remaining in the container).
It is further understood that while the additional identification component can be re used for a new infusion therapy with a new set of system components, the system is 5 configured such that it will not allow the additional identification component to be used with the same components as in the original therapy. Thus, the additional identification component and for example, the disposable MEMS pump used in a first infusion therapy cannot be re-used together in a second infusion therapy. If this was attempted, the system would not operate for the second infusion therapy. The additional identification l0 component can only be used with new components for a new therapy.
Additional features can be utilized with any of the embodiments described above.
As discussed, a kit can be formed that may include the container 16, the line set 14 and the identifier 18. The identifier 18 can be associated with or connected to either of the container 16 and the line set 14. In some embodiments, the container 16 may contain a 15 pre-attached reconstitution device having a pre-attached drug container such as a vial. The reconstitution device could be activated to reconstitute the drug with the fluid 17 in the container 16. It is understood that the identifier 18 can also include information regarding the vial that may be pre-attached to the reconstitution device. In another embodiment, a disposable pump such as a micro-pump or MEMS pump can also be connected to the line set 14 and be considered as part of the kit. The identifier 18 associated with such kits can have any of the information described above for overall proper operation of the system. In yet another embodiment, the container 16, or container 16 associated with the kit may include a pre-mixed medicament 17. The identifier 18 associated with the pre-mixed medicament 17 can have an expiration date associated therewith. The delivery device or pump used with such kit has the recognition system that recognizes the identifier 18 and a date of operation of the pump. The pump is configured such that it will not operate if the recognition system determines the operation date is a date after the recognized expiration date. Thus, if the recognition system of the pump reads an expired date, the pump will not operate and give an indication of an expired medicament. In one preferred embodiment, the system will also include an alarm system operably associated with the system that is capable of generating an alarm if an expired medicament is detected. The alarm can take many different forms and may have audible components, visual components or a combination of both.
It is further understood that a pump utilized in the present invention will incorporate safety software. The safety software is capable of generating basic failure alarms wherein the pump would assume a fail safe condition such as no free flow of medicament through the pump. Various softwarelpump configurations may be utilized. For example, all software may be located on the pump head, or all software may be located off of, or remote from the pump head. In addition, all software may be located off of the pump head with the exception of the specific safety software being located on the pump head.
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES
Two specific examples of the application of the principles of the present invention to will now be described.
In the first example, an administration line set having an identifier is loaded into the pump. Upon insertion of the slide clamp into the slide clamp receptacle on the pump, the recognition system of the pump obtains the identification information from the identifier.
In this example, the identification information indicates to the pump that the type of administration associated with the line set that was loaded into the pump is enteral. Based on the identification of the enteral administration type, the pump software performs a configuration of the pump for enteral administration based on one of a set of administration line set profiles associated with enteral administration. In this particular example, the recordation of volume history is enabled by the pump.
In the second example, an administration line set having an identifier is loaded into the pump. Upon insertion of the slide clamp into the slide clamp receptacle on the pump, the recognition system of the pump obtains the identification information from the identifier. In this example, the identification information indicates to the pump that the type of administration associated with the line set that was loaded into the pump is epidural. Based on the identification of the epidural administration type, the pump software performs a configuration of the pump for epidural administration. In this case, the pump enables functionality that includes a continuous drip of the fluid, disablement of a piggy back feature of the pump, disablement of an air line sensor of the pump, and disablement of an occlusion detection feature of the pump.
It should be understood that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or central characteristics thereof. The present embodiments, therefore, are to be considered in all respects illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein.
