    摘要: An apparatus is provided for monitoring a predetermined parameter of a patient's body fluid while infusing an infusion fluid into the patient. The apparatus comprises an infusion line and a catheter configured for insertion into a blood vessel of the patient, and a reversible infusion pump connected between a source of an infusion fluid and the infusion line and catheter. The apparatus further comprises a body fluid sensor assembly mounted in fluid communication with the infusion line and which includes a first sensor and a sample cell. The first sensor provides a signal indicative of a predetermined parameter of any fluid present in the infusion line. The sample cell is substantially transmissive to light comprising a wavelength λ. The apparatus further comprises a controller that is configured to operate the infusion pump in a forward direction so as to pump the infusion fluid through the infusion line and catheter for infusion into the patient. The controller is configured to intermittently interrupt its operating of the infusion pump in the forward direction to operate the infusion pump in a rearward direction so as to draw a body fluid sample from the patient through the catheter and infusion line. The body fluid sample drawn from the patient is disposed such that a first portion of the body fluid sample is in sensing contact with the first sensor of the body fluid sensor assembly, and a second portion of the body fluid sample is disposed within the sample cell of the body fluid sensor assembly. The controller further is configured to monitor the signal provided by the first sensor of the body fluid sensor assembly and to detect a change in the signal indicative of the arrival of the body fluid sample at the first sensor. The controller, in response to detecting the arrival of the body fluid sample at the first sensor, is configured to cease its operating of the infusion pump in the rearward direction. The signal produced by the first sensor provides an indication of a predetermined parameter of the patient's body fluid when the body fluid sample is in sensing contact with the first sensor.

    摘要: An apparatus for analyzing the composition of bodily fluid. The apparatus comprises a fluid handling network including a patient end configured to maintain fluid communication with a bodily fluid in a patient. The apparatus further comprises a pump unit in operative engagement with the fluid handling network. The pump unit has an infusion mode in which the pump unit is operable to deliver infusion fluid to the patient through the patient end, and a sample draw mode in which the pump unit is operable to draw a sample of the bodily fluid from the patient through the patient end. The apparatus further comprises a spectroscopic analyzer configured to obtain spectra from at least a portion of the sample, and a processor in communication with or incorporated into the spectroscopic analyzer. The apparatus further comprises stored program instructions executable by the processor to (a) identify one or more interferents to the measurement of one or more analytes in the bodily fluid as being possibly present in the portion, and (b) reduce errors in the measurement due to the presence of the determined possible interferents. The pump unit can comprise a single dual-mode or reversible pump operable in both the infusion and sample draw modes; or two pumps, one of which is operable in the infusion mode but not in the sample draw mode, and another of which is operable in the sample draw mode but not in the infusion mode.

    摘要: In certain embodiments, an apparatus for analyzing the composition of bodily fluid includes a first fluid passageway having a patient end which is configured to provide fluid communication with a bodily fluid within a patient. The apparatus further includes at least one pump coupled to the first fluid passageway. The at least one pump has an infusion mode in which the pump is operable to deliver infusion fluid to the patient through the patient end, and a sample draw mode in which the pump is operable to draw a sample of the bodily fluid from the patient through the patient end. The apparatus further includes an analyte detection system accessible via the first fluid passageway such that the analyte detection system can receive at least one component of the drawn sample of bodily fluid and determine a concentration of at least one analyte. The analyte detection system is spaced from the patient end of the first fluid passageway. The apparatus further includes a fluid sensor located at or near the patient end of the first fluid passageway and spaced from the analyte detection system. The fluid sensor is configured to sense a property of a fluid within the first fluid passageway.
