    Abstract: An integrated intravenous (IV) administration set includes a flow stop having a tubing fitment and a housing, the flow stop configured, in a first position, to prevent a flow of a fluid through the tubing, and in a second position, to permit the flow of the fluid through the tubing, the tubing fitment comprising a protrusion configured to receive a tubing. The IV administration set also includes an electronic flow sensor disposed within the housing, the electronic flow sensor configured to measure a flow of a fluid in the tubing, and one or more conductive connections configured within the housing and configured to provide electrical power to the electronic flow sensor. The flow stop is shaped to be loaded and engaged to a receptacle of an infusion device, and shaped to cause, when loaded and engaged, the one or more conductive connections to engage with a corresponding conductive connection provided by the infusion device to activate the flow sensor based on a power flow from the infusion device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing automated inventory management of medicine and healthcare items stored within bins in care facilities are disclosed. A method includes providing an interactive storage device for attaching to a bin, and outputting, via an audiovisual element, a visual representation of a local inventory of the bin, receiving a user input, determining a change to the local inventory according to the user input, updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change, synchronizing the local inventory with one or more nodes via a communication interface, and receiving, from the one or more nodes via the communication interface, periodic updates for a local cache comprising locations and inventories of one or more remote bins.

    Abstract: An apparatus method, and system for detecting a leaking occluder valve is disclosed. At least one measurement instrument is connected to a fluid within a fluid tubing upstream or downstream of a pump element of an infusion device. The pump element is configured to periodically cause a compression of the fluid tubing and to isolate a downstream portion of the fluid tubing from an upstream portion of the fluid tubing when the pump element is operating under a normal operating condition. A response of the fluid is measured when the pump element is caused to compress the fluid tubing and a determination is made, based on the response whether the compression has fluidically isolated the downstream portion from the upstream portion. One or more shims may be inserted into the occluder valve to move the platen away from the pump element during the test to determine a degree of fault.

    Abstract: Force sensing assemblies for an infusion pump are provided. A force sensing assembly includes a processor and an occlusion sensor coupled to the processor. The occlusion sensor is positioned opposed to an occluder valve when the platen is closed. The force sensing assembly measures one or more forces exerted on a fluid tube during a pump cycle. Infusion pump assemblies, methods of operating an infusion pump with a force sensing assembly, systems for controlling an infusion pump and an infusion device are also provided.

    Abstract: Drip chamber detection assemblies for intravenous sets used with an infusion pump are provided. A drip chamber detection assembly includes a sensor coupled to a drip chamber. The sensor is positioned to generate signals related to the fluid level within the drip chamber. The signal data is transmitted to an infusion pump or a controller. A fluid level status or condition is determined and used for closed loop control of the infusion system, which generates an alarm and/or stops the infusion pump based on abnormal conditions. Methods of operating drip chamber detection assemblies are also provided.

    Abstract: A bin assembly, bin identification system and method are disclosed. A container bin assembly includes a bin body, a latching mechanism, and controller. A method includes receiving, via a communication interface, an authenticated request to access the smart container, actuating an electromechanical latch to disengage a fastening hook, thereby initiating a mechanical movement of an access component to make an internal compartment accessible, outputting, via an audiovisual element, an alert to identify the container, confirming that the electromechanical latch has re-engaged with the fastening hook, thereby securing the internal compartment, determining a change in a local inventory, and updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system for detecting a leaking occluder valve is disclosed. Upper and lower occluder elements of an infusion pump are activated to compress a fluid tubing filled with a fluid to isolate the fluid in an upstream portion of the tubing from a downstream portion of the tubing. While the fluid tubing is compressed by the occluder elements, a pumping element of the infusion pump is activated to compress an intermediate portion of the tubing, between the downstream portion and the upstream portion, to cause a pressure increase within the fluid tubing. Using at least one pressure sensor, a determination is made as to whether the pressure increase is present in a portion of the fluid tubing on a side, of an activated occluder element, opposite the intermediate portion of the tubing.
