User interface for multimode medication infusion system.

摘要

A user interface for clinical configuration of a multimode medication infusion system 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 (26), status indication devices (24), an information display (28) and user inputs (20). A programmed microprocessor (22) allows the user to control the system through the user inputs (20). The display (28) allows simultaneous display of data pertaining to multiple infusion requirements. In an instrument configuration mode, the interface communicates with a computer (12) running specialised software (16) to allow the changing of default values for various parameters of the system.
