SEDATION AND ANALGESIA SYSTEM, AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING MANAGEMENT OF ANGOR AND/OR SEDATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fail-safe module (FSM) integral with a sedation and analgesia system that meets the high-reliability needs of sedation and/or analgesia delivered by a non-anesthetist practitioner.SOLUTION: The fail-safe module (FSM) 23 may operate in "real-time" in order to ensure optimal safety of a patient 18. The FSM may deactivate specific patient interfaces 17, user interfaces, and/or sedation and analgesia delivery in order to ensure patient safety and has redundant safety systems in order to provide the fail-safe module with an accurate assessment of controller functionality.
