Modular infusion system

摘要

A pump is disclosed that comprises a primary control unit comprising a first processor and one or more modular pumping units removably docked to the primary control unit. Each modular pumping unit comprises a pumping mechanism and a second processor configured to control the pumping mechanism and communicate with the first processor. The modular pumping unit is configured to manipulate a portion of a fluid delivery set to pump a fluid. The first processor and the second processor are configured to exchange one or more operating parameters when the modular pumping unit is docked to the primary control unit. The modular pumping unit is configured to pump the fluid after being undocked.

1. A pump comprising:
a primary control unit having a first processor and a plurality of docking stations configured to accept one or more modular pumping units; a plurality of modular pumping units removably docked to the primary control unit, each modular pumping unit may be docked and undocked in a docking station without docking or undocking another of the modular pumping units, each modular pumping unit comprising: a pumping mechanism, a first power source, and a second processor configured to communicate with the first processor to receive one or more operating parameters from the first processor, the second processor configured to operate the pumping mechanism, according to the one or more operating parameters, when the modular pumping unit is undocked from the primary control unit; and a second power source removably coupled to the modular pumping unit when the modular pumping unit is undocked.
