摘要

A system and a method are configured to program, track and/or monitor infusion data (such as proper medication, dosage information, drug identification, patient identification, and/or other information believed to be relevant) for a drug infusion system. An electronic data tag, such as a radio frequency identification device (“RFID”) tag, may be coupled to one or more components of the infusion system, such as a medication container or infusion set.

主权项

1. A method for managing infusion data associated with a drug infusion system, the method comprising:
electronically accessing an identifier on an electronic data tag coupled to a first component of the infusion system, wherein the identifier provides a link to a remote location from which infusion data associated with a patient may be accessed; positioning the electronic data tag and the first component of the infusion system within a predetermined distance of a second component of the infusion system; and accessing the infusion data via the electronic data tag by downloading the infusion data from the remote location.
