Abstract

Aspects of systems and methods for authenticating illuminating medical infusion lines are disclosed. In one aspect a method for authenticating medical infusion lines utilizing a cap color detection assembly is disclosed. The method includes provisioning an electronic illuminator for illuminating medical infusion lines with a cap color detection assembly. Next, connecting a side scattering fiber optic cable with a fiber funnel cap that is configured with a visible color with the electronic illuminator. Then, transmitting a white light from the cap color detection assembly and recording reflected light from the fiber funnel cap. Then, converting the recorded reflective light to a color code. In another aspect a method for authenticating medical infusion lines is disclosed utilizing a fiber detection assembly. The method includes provisioning an electronic illuminator for illuminating medical infusion lines with a fiber detection assembly. Then connecting a side scattering fiber optic cable with a fiber funnel cap that is configured with a metallic plate with the electronic illuminator. Next, detecting a change in voltage as the fiber funnel cap of the side scattering fiber optic cable is connected, wherein a final voltage results in a magnetic flux key. Lastly, authenticating, by the MCU on the electronic illuminator, the magnetic flux key with stored parameters.
