摘要:
A medical infusion pump is disclosed which provides for greatly improved accuracy in the delivery of medicaments to a patient. Among the various features included in the instant invention is a pumping body which serves to deform and reform a tube so as to maintain the initial cross-section thereof and thereby preserve the output accuracy of the pump. Also disclosed with regard to the pumping body is a wholly mechanical synchronization of the pumping body and valves associated therewith and coactive with the aforementioned synchronization a mechanical linearization of output of the pumping body per each pumping cycle. Additionally, several features which serve to enhance the utility of the instant invention are also included therein among which is an associated assembly operative to automatically load or disload a tube or IV set into or out of the pumping body. Associated with the assembly operative to automatically load or disload a tube and disclosed herein is an assembly operative to selectively open or close a slide clamp associated with the tube in such a way as to ensure that the tube is occluded such that in combination with the valves associated with the pumping body, a condition of free-flow of medicament is never realized. Additionally disclosed are sensor housings adapted to measure various quantities associated with fluid flowing through the tube wherein the housings are with associated components adapted to achieve a substantially normal orientation with respect to the sidewall of the tube and in the achieving of such normal orientation, expressing an essentially zero elastic stress gradient across the tube.

A system and method is disclosed for controlling the input electrical current to an infusion pump stepper motor based on predetermined torque requirements. The system can include a motor controller and a non-volatile memory containing expected load torque values throughout a pump cycle. Responsive to the expected load torque values, the motor controller provides the stepper motor with a varying electrical current for overcoming load torque at each point in the pumping cycle. Additional factors can also be considered for varying the electrical current. These factors include, but are not limited to, temperature, pressure, and elapsed operating time.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for efficiently implementing a programmable chip using hardware description source files passed through multiple tools. A hardware description language source file is provided with mechanisms to allow tool-specific code to be handled by both a synthesis tool and by a simulation tool. Instructions are provided to direct a synthesis tool to read as code comments that a simulation tool is configured to disregard.
