USER INTERFACE FOR MEDICATION INFUSION SYSTEM

摘要

USER INTERFACE FOR MULTIMEDIA MEDICATION INFUSION SYSTEM A user interface for clinical configuration of a multimode medication infusion system is provided for use with a disposable fluid pathway that incorporates a sterile cassette containing pumping elements and sensor interfaces in a multi-channel configuration. The hardware portion of the user interface comprises an audio signal generator, status indication devices, display means, and user inputs. A programmed microprocessor allows the user to control the system through the user inputs. The display means allows simultaneous display of data pertaining to multiple infusion requirements. The user interface is designed to be a flexible mechanism for use of the system by relatively untrained personnel without sacrificing the capability for use by better trained personnel to control more complex infusion regimens which are possible with the system. In an instrument configuration mode, the interface communicates with a computer running specialized software to allow the changing of default values for various parameters of the system.
