摘要:
Various methods and devices for driving fluid from a syringe are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a syringe driver is provided having a frame that is adapted to seat a syringe, a driver that is slidably disposed within the frame and that is adapted to seat a plunger of a syringe, and a puller that is slidably disposed within the frame and that has a latch formed thereon for mating to an engagement element on the frame. The device can also include a force-delivery element, such as a constant force spring, that is coupled to and extends between the driver and the puller. In use, the puller is movable between a first position, in which the force-delivery element is in a resting position, and a second position, in which the latch on the puller mates to the engagement element on the frame to expand the force-delivery element thereby causing the force-delivery element to pull the driver and drive a plunger into a barrel of a syringe seated within the frame to deliver fluid from the syringe to a patient at a constant rate.

摘要:
Multiple devices (16, 16a) that are each suitable for use at a selected one of multiple locations (15) are managed using a network (10) of links (12) that are each assigned to one of the locations (15). Each link (12) is selectable between a state in which a device (16) is not using the link (12) and a state in which one or more devices (16) are using the link (12). Links (12) that are in use by the devices (16) are identified and the locations (15) at which the devices (16) are used are determined based on the indentities of the links (12) that are in use.

摘要:
The locations of a plurality of devices (12a-12g)are tracked using a network (14) of communication links (16a-16d), each of which corresponds to a location. Each device (12a-12g) is given a tag (30a-30g) that identifies the device (12a-12g) with respect to other devices (12a-12g) and that is connectable to a communication link (16a-16d) when the device (12a-12g) is disposed at the location to which the link (16a-16d) corresponds. Each tag (30a-30g) that is connected to each communication link (16a-16d) is detected, and the location of each device (12a-12g) is determined based on the detection. One feature of the technique is additionally determining the conditions of the devices (12a-12g) by correlating one or more communication links (16a-16d) with conditions. The technique is simple to use and highly effective technique in tracking devices (12a-12g) stored at various locations throughout a facility. Device (12a-12g) location and condition are monitored continuously, thereby reducing the risk that the removal of a device (12a-12g) from storage (18) will go undetected.
摘要:
Disclosed are systems and methods for enabling transfer of a drug from a first drug container to a second drug container including a drug identification component that recognizes a first drug container to retrieve drug identifying data for the drug, a storage medium that stores a site-specific database comprising attributes and associated values for a set of drugs including the drug in the first drug container, a processor that obtains the drug identifying data and the attributes and associated values for the drug and produces information about the drug using the drug identifying data and the attributes and associated values, a rules engine that applies one or more rules to the information about the drug to generate drug handling information, and an output unit that outputs markings comprising the drug handling information in human-readable or machine-readable form, or both, to be associated with the second container.
摘要:
A tag (30) associated with a device (12) and that identifies the device with respect to other devices is connected to a communication link (16) with the same connector (100) used to connect the device to a source of power (110). The device connector includes an element for receiving electrical power and a data contact (106) connected to the tag. An electrical power connector (110) (which serves as the power source) has an element for engaging the element of the device connector and applying electrical power thereto, and another data contact (120) connected to the communication link (16). When the device connector is engaged with the electrical power source connector, the data contacts engage one another and establish a data path between the communication link and the tag. The connection to the communication link allows information to be exchanged between the communication link and the tag.
摘要:
Dispositifs multiples (16, 16a), parmi lesquels chacun est approprié pour s'utiliser à un emplacement sélectionné parmi des emplacements multiples (15), qui sont commandés au moyen d'un réseau (10) de liaisons (12) dont chacune est affectée à l'un des emplacements (15). Chacune de liaisons (12) peut se sélectionner entre un état dans lequel l'un des dispositifs (16) n'utilise pas la liaison (12) et un état dans lequel un ou plusieurs dispositifs (16) utilisent la liaison (12). Les liaisons (12) utilisées par les dispositifs (16) sont identifiées et les emplacements (15) sur lesquels les dispositifs (16) sont utilisés, se déterminent en se basant sur les identités des liaisons (12) utilisées.
