摘要： Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to detect when at least one component of the pump system is exposed to an impact above a threshold level. In particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be equipped with an impact detection system that can sense when an impact above the threshold level has occurred to the pump device, which thereby enables the infusion pump system to initiate appropriate patient safety countermeasures.

摘要： Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can include a controller in which one or more features sets to be provided by the controller are enabled or disabled based upon the particular pump device that is connected to the controller. For example, in some embodiments, one or more advanced features of the controller are available to the user only when a first type of pump device (e.g., having predefined settings stored therein) is connected to the controller, and those advanced features of the controller are disabled when a second type of pump device is connected to the controller.

摘要： An endovascular navigation and positioning system including a transducer on a distal end of an endovascular instrument, a control system connected to the transducer, the control system being configured to generate and receive at least one acoustic signal using the transducer, a pre-processor containing computer-readable instructions for manipulating the acoustic signal input to extract information related to desired parameters, a processor configured to evaluate the parameters to generate an output related to guidance of the instrument, and an output device for displaying an indication of the output generated by the processor. The processor may evaluate the information using artificial intelligence including inference rules related to navigation state, comparisons to information in a database, and probabilities, among others. The system may use an electrical signal as a confirmation input. Further disclosed is a method of navigating and positioning an endovascular device in a vasculature.
