Abstract
An intravenous fluid delivery apparatus (IFDA) includes a body having two or more docks, wherein each dock includes a dock outlet and is configured to engage with a container. The IFDA further includes a fluid interface having two or more interface inlets and an interface outlet, wherein the two or more interface inlets are in fluid communication with the interface outlet, and two or more supply lines, each supply line disposed between one of the dock outlets and one of the interface inlets, wherein the interface outlet is configured to connect with an intravenous line.
Claims8
An intravenous fluid delivery apparatus (IFDA), comprising:
- a body having two or more docks;
- one or more containers each having a unique container identifier and containing a specified fluid substance;
- wherein the unique container identifier uniquely identifies each of the one or more containers and is selected from the group consisting of a barcode, a VR code, a decimal code, an alphanumeric code, and an RFID tag;
- wherein each of the one or more containers is disposed within one of the two or more docks;
- wherein each dock includes a dock outlet and engages with a single one of the one or more containers;
- a fluid interface having two or more interface inlets and an interface outlet, wherein the two or more interface inlets are in fluid communication with the interface outlet;
- circuitry within the body, a user interface, and a metering valve associated with each dock, wherein the circuitry, the user interface, and the metering valves are in electrical communication;
- wherein amounts of the specified fluid substances to be delivered from the one or more containers are entered via the user interface, and wherein the circuitry within the body is configured to control the metering valves to allow the amounts of the specified fluid substances to be passed through the metering valves;
- a non-volatile data storage device in electrical communication with the circuitry within the body, wherein the amount of the specified fluid substance is stored on the data storage device for each of the one or more containers;
- and
- two or more supply lines, each supply line disposed between one of the dock outlets and one of the interface inlets;
- wherein
- the interface outlet is configured to connect with an intravenous line.
