US 12,697,436 B2 · Patient care device configured for automatic adjustment based on image data

Abstract

The present disclosure regards an infusion system that includes an infusion device, an imaging device, and a processor. The processor is configured to pump a fluid, and the imaging device is configured to convert a received image signal into image data. The processor is configured to receive an identifier for the fluid and determine that the fluid is associated with an imaging-based infusion protocol based on the fluid identifier. The processor is also configured to detect whether the imaging device is connected to the imaging probe and, responsive to detecting that it is connected, operate the infusion device at a first operating speed. Additionally, the processor is configured to receive the image data from the imaging device and determine a second operating speed based on the image data. Further, the processor is configured to operate the infusion device at the second operating speed.
