Abstract
A medical device system. The system includes a first medical device, a first remote interface, and a second remote interface in communication with the first remote interface and the first medical device, wherein the first medical device sends a command to the first medical device through the second remote interface, and wherein when the second remote interface receives the command, the command must be confirmed by the second remote interface before the command is send by the second remote interface to the first medical device.
Claims12
A medical device system comprising:
- a first medical device;
- a first remote interface;
- and
- a second remote interface, located separate from the first medical device and the first remote interface, in communication with the first remote interface and the first medical device,
- wherein the first remote interface:
- initiates a command related to the communication of safety critical information to the first medical device based on an input;
- displays a message on the first remote interface that the communication of the safety critical information to the first medical device requires confirmation using the second remote interface;
- sends the communication to the second remote interface;
- and
- once confirmation is received by the second remote interface, the second remote interface communicates the command to the first medical device.
A medical device system comprising:
- an infusion pump;
- a first remote interface comprising a medical device data system;
- and
- a second remote interface, located separate from the infusion pump and the first remote interface, in communication with the first remote interface and the infusion pump,
- wherein the first remote interface:
- initiates a command related to the communication of safety critical information to the infusion pump based on an input;
- displays a message on the first remote interface that the communication of the safety critical information to the infusion pump requires confirmation using the second remote interface;
- sends the communication to the second remote interface;
- and
- once confirmation is received by the second remote interface, the second remote interface communicates the command to the infusion pump.
