PUMP COMPATIBILITY TEST

摘要

A testing device (10), an infusion pump or another medical device function testing method, to an anesthesia apparatus or respirator (AB) and to a computer program product are provided for testing the function of an infusion pump (G). The testing device (10) is preferably implemented on the anesthesia apparatus or respirator (AB) and comprises a memory (MEM), a test module (T) and a controller (C). The test module (T) sends a test command (20) to the infusion pump (FG), which sends a response (30) back to the controller (C) after execution of the command. The control (C) can then compare the response (30) received with a reference response (30′) for agreement in order to send a successful function test result.

主权项

1. A testing device for testing the function of an infusion pump or another medical device within a system of devices comprising an anesthesia apparatus or respirator, wherein the devices of the system of devices exchange data with one another via a communication protocol and wherein there are different configurations of the system of devices, the testing device comprising:
a memory with a stored set of test commands and with at least one stored reference response assigned to each test command, wherein the reference response is system-specific and/or configuration-specific; at least one test module sending at least one test command from the set of test commands, stored in memory, to the infusion pump or to the another medical device for processing and/or executing the test command, via the communication protocol; and at least one controller receiving a response to the test command that has been executed by the infusion pump or to the another medical device, comparing the response with the at least one stored reference response, assigned to the respective test command, for agreement, and sending a successful function test result indication in case of agreement.
