An infusion pump system and method provide concurrent infusion with common line auto flush. The infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a mixing chamber, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the mixing chamber and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes infusing the first fluid at a first rate along a first flow path; determining a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching to a concurrent infusion mode to drive a combination of the first fluid and the second fluid at the first rate along a second flow path including the common line; monitoring a volume of the combination of the first and second fluids driven at the first rate; and driving the combination of the first and second fluids at a combined rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.

Infusion pump

An infusion pump system and method with common line auto flush, wherein the infusion pump system has a first reservoir, a second reservoir, a junction, a common line having one end in fluid connection with the junction and having a terminal fluid delivery end, and an infusion pump. The method includes infusing the first fluid at a first rate along a first flow path; entering a common line flush volume value for the common line; switching from the first flow path to a second flow path; driving the second fluid at the first rate along the second flow path; monitoring volume of the second fluid driven at the first rate; and driving the second fluid at a second rate along the second flow path when the monitored volume is equal to or greater than the common line flush volume value.
