A system for scanning and validating clinical order device configurations is disclosed. A test instance of an infusion device is created based on a request, and an automated programming command is transmitted to the test instance. The automated programming command includes validation information for validating clinical order data, and a programming response is generated by the test instance based on the automated programming command, and provided for storage in a records system. In some implementations, the response includes an image, or reference to the image, of a graphical user interface that would be presented by the infusion device configured according to the validation information.

Remote scanning and validating of clinical order device configurations

An infusion system includes a network data transceiver and a processor configured to determine, at the infusion device, when the infusion device is in a prepared state. In response to determining that, and while, the infusion device is in the prepared state: the processor is configured to present, on a display of the infusion device, a unique identifier of the infusion device, wait for an indication that the unique identifier of the infusion device was scanned by a scanner to associate the infusion device with an infusion order. The processor is configured to receive configuration information associated with the infusion order, and automatically configure the infusion device to cause infusion of a medical fluid specified in the infusion order based on parameters of the infusion order provided by the received configuration information.

Smart barcode ID for interoperable pumps

The disclosed systems and methods provide patient care unit (PCU) order confirmation. A method may include authorizing a user to operate a medication delivery device. The method may also include retrieving, in response to the authorizing, a user history associated with the user, wherein the user history includes one or more dispensing records for pending medications. The method may also include determining, based on a context that includes the user history, one or more medication order candidates for present administration. The method may also include presenting a user interface for confirming a medication order from the one or more medication order candidates. The method may also include configuring at least one parameter of the medication delivery device based on the confirmed medication order received from the user interface.

Patient care unit order confirmation

A method for detecting an occlusion in a fluidic channel of an infusion device that includes flowing a fluid within the fluidic channel during a first period of time in which a flow rate of the fluid is set to a first flow rate; pausing, the flow rate for a second period of time; measuring, a first pressure at a location along the fluidic channel during the second period of time; increasing, after measuring the first pressure, the flow rate to a second flow rate; pausing, the flow rate for a fourth period of time; measuring, after pausing the flow rate, a second pressure at the location during the fourth period of time; computing, at a processor, a difference between the first and second pressures; and in accordance with a determination that the magnitude of the difference satisfies the threshold, providing an indication, of a presence of the occlusion.

Fast occlusion detection in infusion devices

A method includes receiving a request to activate a medical device. Response to receiving the request, the method includes generating an automatic programming request (APR) for programming the medical device, receiving a message indicating that the APR failed to activate the medical device, and obtaining historical programming records (HPR)s. The method includes determining that parameters in the APR correspond to historical parameters, identifying a set of HPRs including a historical parameter value corresponding to a requested parameter value included the APR, and generating a deviation metric indicating a degree of difference between a secondary parameter value included in the APR and a corresponding historical parameter value. The method includes, responsive to a determination that a deviation metric meets a criticality threshold, changing a drug library record associated with the respective set of deviations and providing an indication to review the changed drug library record.

Auto-programming request rejection reduction

The disclosed systems and methods manage more notifications between medical devices. A method includes obtaining information corresponding to a clinician and determining whether the information satisfies coordination criteria. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the clinician is associated with the first medical device and a second medical device, detecting a first and second notification generated by respective medical devices. The method includes identifying, based on detecting the respective notifications, alert information including medical information for a patient receiving medical treatment from the first and second medical device. The method includes determining, based on the identified information, notification priorities between the respective notifications. The method includes adjusting at least one human perceivable manifestation of the respective notifications based on the determined notification priorities, and presenting adjusted human perceivable manifestations of the respective notifications to the user via one of the first medical device or the second medical device.

Criteria based alarms coordination between a network of medical devices

The disclosed systems and methods for reducing alarm strain generated by a medical device. A medical device for reducing generated alarm strain includes a display to present visually perceivable information, an audio output to present audibly perceivable information, processors coupled with the display and the audio output, and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the medical device to perform operations. The instructions, when executed, cause the medical device to receive a notification regarding the medical device. The notification is associated with an audible manifestation and a visual manifestation. The instructions, when executed, also cause the medical device to detect that a user is focused on the medical device, after said detection of the user, determine a volume adjustment to the audio output for presenting the audible manifestation, and adjust the audio output to cause presentation of the audible manifestations according to the volume adjustment.
