<p>A wireless communication system (9) from an IV medication infusion pump to a hospital information management system (HIMS) is disclosed. The system includes an IV pump (10) having pump operation circuitry (41) for monitoring preselected characteristics of pump operation indicative of IV administration of medication to a patient. A transmitter (45) is connected to the pump operation circuitry (41) for transmitting a wireless pump signal representing the preselected pump operation characteristics. The wireless pump transmitter (45) communicates with a hospital information management system (HIMS) (60). The HIMS (60) includes a receiver (61) capable of receiving the pump signal representing the pump operation characteristics and also includes a computer (57) capable of storing and displaying the pump operation characteristics represented by the received wireless pump signal.</p> |
