Fluid drain control apparatus, systems, and methods

A method for accepting an electronic drain order from a third-party system and transmitting it to an electromechanical drain, the method comprising:

• operating on an interoperable server system that can accept an electronic drain order from a third-party system;
• connecting to an electromechanical drain;
• wherein an electronic drain order is received by the server from the third-party system and transmitted to the electromechanical drain;
• whereupon the electromechanical drain validates that the electronic drain order came from the interoperable server system that had been validated, processes the order, and verifies the order is within a plurality of physical parameters of the electromechanical drain to perform;
• wherein the validated order is applied to configure the electromechanical drain;
• and
• whereupon the electromechanical drain executes the order.

A method for accepting an electronic drain order from a third-party system and transmitting it to an electromechanical drain, the method comprising:

• communicatively connecting with a third-party system;
• having a connection to an electromechanical drain;
• wherein an electronic drain order is received by the drain from the third-party system;
• wherein the electromechanical drain validates that the electronic drain order came from a validated system, processes the drain order, and verifies that the drain order is within a plurality of physical parameters of the electromechanical drain to perform;
• wherein the validated electronic drain order is applied to configure the electromechanical drain;
• and
• wherein the electromechanical drain executes the electronic drain order.

A method for sending electronic drain data to a third-party system from an electromechanical drain, the method comprising:

• having an electromechanical drain configured to monitor physical processes and record actual drain data versus desired drain behaviors;
• having an interoperable server system that can accept drain data from an electromechanical drain;
• communicatively connecting with a third-party system that can accept drain data;
• and
• wherein drain data is received by the interoperable server system from the electromechanical drain.

A method for comparing drain protocol safety libraries that is approved in a drain protocol safety library editor (DPSLE) and in a currently active drain protocol safety library (active DPSL) that is on a system for receiving, storing, selecting, executing, and operating on a drain storage protocol, the system comprising an electromechanical drain;

• the method comprising:
• transmitting from the system (as requester) to the DPSLE (as receiver) a request for a plurality of most recent DPSL;
• transmitting from the system to the DPSLE of a most recent known DPSL;
• the system analyzing to determine if there is a delta requiring action by the system;
• wherein if a delta is detected, the system trans DPSL to the DPSLE;
• a request for the updated
• wherein the DPSLE processes the request and transmits the updated DPSL to the system;
• and
• wherein the DPSLE processes and stores the updated DPSL.

• the method comprising:
• transmitting from the DPSLE (as requester) to the system (as receiver) a request for a current and active DPSL;
• transmitting from the system to the DPSLE of the current and active DPSL;
• the DPSLE analyzing to determine if there is a delta requiring action by the DPSLE;
• wherein if a delta is detected, the DPSLE transmits an updated DPSL to the system;
• and
• wherein the system processes and stores the updated DPSL.

A method of collecting patient demographic and clinical details and associating them with a system of the present disclosure for receiving, storing, selecting, executing, and operating on a drain storage protocol, the method comprising:

• the system communicatively connecting with a third-party system;
• the system comprising an electromechanical drain, a drain controller, a data platform, and connections therebetween;
• wherein a patient data feed is received by the data platform from the third-party system;
• wherein a user specifically associates the drain controller to the patient data feed through a manual process;
• wherein the drain controller provides clinical data back to the data platform;
• and
• wherein the data platform stores the associated patient demographics, clinical details, and drainage data, including but not limited to spectral signatures for later processing;
• together with the patient data feed and the clinical data, referred to as the data.
