Abstract
A server control unit of a pump monitoring server records, in a recording unit, a state of a pump together with a time at which the state of the pump is confirmed in a case where the server control unit has received the state of the pump confirmed by a medical practitioner from the pump within a first predetermined time from the start of clocking of a liquid delivery time by a clocking unit. In contrast, in a case where the server control unit has not received the state of the pump from the pump even after the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the clocking of the liquid delivery time by the clocking unit, the server control unit prompts the medical practitioner to confirm the pump.
Claims20
A pump monitoring system comprising:
- a pump configured to deliver a medicine to a patient, wherein the pump includes a pump control unit configured to transmit the state of the pump confirmed by a medical practitioner to the pump monitoring server;
- and
- a pump monitoring server configured to monitor a state of the pump, and wherein the pump monitoring server includes:
- a clocking unit configured to clock a liquid delivery time of the pump;
- and
- a server control unit configured to record, in a recording unit, the state of the pump together with the time at which the state of the pump is confirmed in a case where the state of the pump has been received from the pump within a first predetermined time after the start of clocking of the liquid delivery time, and configured to prompt the medical practitioner to confirm the pump in a case where the state of the pump has not been received from the pump even after the first predetermined time has elapsed from the start of clocking of the liquid delivery time.
A pump monitoring server in communication with a pump, the pump monitoring server comprising:
- a clocking unit that clocks a liquid delivery time of the pump that delivers a medicine to a patient;
- a recording unit;
- and
- a server control unit in communication with the clocking unit and the recording unit, wherein the server control unit:
- determines if a first period of time has elapsed since the liquid deliver time;
- if the first period of time has not elapsed:
- receives confirmation of a state of the pump from the pump;
- records, in the recording unit, the state of the pump and a first time at which the state of the pump is confirmed i by a medical practitioner;
- if the first period of time has elapsed, sends a first prompt to the medical practitioner to confirm the pump.
A pump associated with a pump monitoring system comprising:
- a user interface;
- a reading unit;
- a pump control unit in communication with the user interface, the reading unit, and a pump monitoring server that monitors a state of the pump, wherein the pump control unit:
- transmits a liquid delivery time of the pump to the pump monitoring server;
- within a first predetermined time from the liquid delivery time:
- receives, from a medical practitioner, a confirmation of the state of the pump from the user interface;
- receives a user identification information, of the medical practitioner that confirms the state of the pump, from the reading unit;
- transmits the state of the pump together with a time at which the state of the pump is confirmed to the pump monitoring server, wherein the state of the pump comprises the confirmation and the user identification information;
- after the first predetermined time from the liquid delivery time:
- receives, from the pump monitoring server, a first prompt to prompt the medical practitioner to confirm the state of the pump;
- and
- displays the first prompt on the user interface.
