Abstract
A system and method for automatically delivering an infusate to a patient is disclosed. The system includes an infusion set and an infusion device. A signaling component disposed on an infusion set component identifies an administration protocol for the infusion set. A detection device operatively connected to the infusion device detects the signaling component and identifies the administration protocol. The infusion device is then configured to operate according to the administration protocol.
Claims22
A slide clamp for use with an infusion device and an infusion set, the infusion set having an infusate source and an infusate tube extending from the infusate source, the slide clamp comprising:
- a body having an aperture adapted to receive the infusate tube;
- and
- a signaling component configured to communicate information indicative of an administration protocol for the infusion set to a detection device operatively connected to the infusion device.
A system for delivering infusate to a patient, the system having an infusion device, an infusion set having an infusate source and a tube extending from the infusate source for delivering the infusate to the infusion device, the system comprising:
- a slide clamp having an aperture to receive the tube, the slide clamp corresponding to the infusion set;
- a signaling component disposed on the clamp, the signaling component identifying an administration protocol for the infusion set;
- a detection device to determine the administration protocol identified by the signaling component, the detection device configured to generate a signal based on the administration protocol;
- and
- a controller to receive the signal and operatively connected to the infusion device, the controller adapted to configure the infusion device to operate according to the administration protocol.
A method for delivering an infusate to a patient with an infusion set and an infusion device, the infusion set having an infusate source component, an infusate tube component extending from the infusate source component, and a slide clamp component with an aperture adapted to receive the infusate tube component, the method comprising:
- providing a signaling component on a component of the infusion set, the signaling component configured with information indicative of an administration protocol for the infusion set;
- detecting the signaling component with a detection device;
- determining the administration protocol identified by the signaling device;
- and
- operating the infusion device according to the administration protocol.
