Abstract
A method of administering a drug including measuring a dosage rate of a first intravenous (IV) bag connected to a first infusion pump, setting a pumping rate of the first infusion pump, comparing the pumping rate of the first infusion pump to the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag, and adjusting the pumping rate of the first infusion pump to the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag when the pumping rate of the first infusion pump is different from the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag.
Claims20
A method of adjusting a pumping rate of an infusion pump comprising:
- receiving a setting for a pumping rate of a first infusion pump;
- measuring a dosage rate of a first intravenous (IV) bag connected to the first infusion pump based upon a change in weight of the first IV bag;
- comparing the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag to a first prescribed infusion rate;
- and
- wherein when the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag is different to the first prescribed infusion rate, performing the steps of:
- (a) adjusting the pumping rate of the first infusion pump;
- (b) measuring the dosage rate of the first IV bag;
- and
- (c) comparing the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag to the first prescribed infusion rate, and
- repeating steps (a)-(c) until the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag is the same as the first prescribed infusion rate.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for adjusting a pumping rate of an infusion pump, comprising:
- instructions for setting a pumping rate of a first infusion pump;
- instructions for measuring a dosage rate of a first intravenous (IV) bag connected to the first infusion pump based upon a change in weight of the first IV bag;
- instructions for comparing the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag to a first prescribed infusion rate;
- and
- instructions for, wherein when the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag is different to the first prescribed infusion rate, performing the steps of:
- (a) adjusting the pumping rate of the first infusion pump;
- (b) measuring the dosage rate of the first IV bag;
- (c) comparing the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag to the first prescribed infusion rate, and
- repeating steps (a)-(c) until the measured dosage rate of the first IV bag is the same as the first prescribed infusion rate.

A system for administering a drug, comprising:
- a memory to store instructions for interacting with and acquiring data from a plurality of drug administering sub-systems;
- a processor for processing the data acquired from one or a plurality of drug administering sub-systems;
- and
- a network interface to connect the memory and processor to the plurality of drug administering sub-systems,
- wherein the processor is configured to measure a dosage rate of an intravenous (IV) bag based upon a change in weight of the IV bag, compare the dosage rate to a prescribed infusion rate, and alter the infusion rate of an infusion pump when the dosage rate of the IV bag is different to the prescribed infusion rate.
