Adaptive Volume Per Motor Revolution System and Method

摘要

A patient care system is configured for infusing fluid to a patient. The system includes at least one fluid infusion pump connected to a respective fluid supply for pumping the contents of a fluid supply to a patient via fluid supply lines. The system includes a programming module that determines the efficiency of the fluid infusion pumps and dynamically adapt the infusion pumps based on one or more system parameters.

1. A method for determining an efficiency of a pumping mechanism of an infusion pump and dynamically adapting the pumping mechanism based on the efficiency, the method comprising:
programming the pumping mechanism to deliver a fluid at an infusion rate wherein the pumping mechanism is configured to deliver the fluid along a fluid line from a fluid supply to a patient and communicates with a programming module having a processor and at least one algorithm which inputs one or more system parameters for determining the efficiency of the pumping mechanism; inputting the one or more system parameters into the at least one algorithm; processing the algorithm to determine the efficiency of the pumping mechanism; and dynamically adapting the pumping mechanism based on the efficiency of the pumping mechanism.
