  • Infusion pumps are useful medical devices for providing medicaments to patients.
  • medications such as antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and pain relievers are commonly delivered to patients via infusion pumps, as are nutrients and other supplements.
  • Infusion pumps have been used in hospitals, nursing homes, and in other short-term and long- term medical facilities, as well as for in-home care. Infusion pumps can be particularly useful for the delivery of medical therapies requiring an extended period of time for their administration.
  • PCA patient- controlled analgesia
  • Infusion pumps are typically useful in various routes of medicament delivery, including intravenously, intra-arterially, subcutaneously, intradermally, intraperitoneally, in close proximity to nerves, and into an intraoperative site, epidural space or subarachnoid space.
  • Caregivers using infusion pumps often need or wish to keep track of multiple pieces of information, for example, relating to medicaments being used with the pump, patient care, and so on. Retaining and organizing such transient information can be a challenge. In view of the goal of simplifying caregiver workloads, it would be desirable to provide systems and methods for providing note-taking surfaces on infusion pumps.

  • Syringe pump 100 can include a retention mechanism configured to inhibit removal of syringe 102 from receptacle 106 when in an engaged state, and permit, allow, enable, or not inhibit removal of the syringe from the receptacle when in a disengaged state.
  • the retention mechanism can include different components or combinations of components.
  • the retention mechanism can include a clamp assembly 108 configured to releasably secure syringe 102 in receptacle 106.

  • Pump 300 can include a flap latch 318 configured to selectively constrain receptacle flap 314 in the closed mode.
  • Flap latch 318 can include an undulating or repetitively ridged shape, as illustrated, with multiple possible interference points that can provide for constraining receptacle flap 314 at multiple possible positions along latch 318 to accommodate, for example, multiple possible syringe sizes, although this is not limiting and latch 318 can take any suitable shape. Flap 314 and latch 318 can form at least part of the retention mechanism of pump 300.

  • receptacle flap 114 Once receptacle flap 114 has been detached, it or another compatible receptacle flap may be (re-)attached to pump 100 via the flap release mechanism.
  • the ability to remove and/or change receptacle flap 114 easily may provide valuable adaptability to pump 100. In some embodiments, it may be desired to not have a receptacle flap at all. In other embodiments, various receptacle flaps can provide various functionality to pump 100 for various applications and/or practitioner preferences. For example, in use of syringe pumps that do not involve controlled substances, a receptacle flap might not be configured to be constrainable to a closed mode.
  • receptacle flap 1 14 of syringe pump 100 of Figures 1 and 2 can be configured such that it can be constrained to the closed mode by clamp assembly 108
  • a non-security receptacle flap could be structured differently (e.g., with a different shape) such that the clamp assembly does not interfere with or otherwise constrain the rotation of the non-security receptacle flap regardless of the position of the clamp assembly, including when the clamp grip is bearing against the barrel of the syringe.
  • the receptacle flap might not constitute part of the syringe retention system of the infusion pump.
  • Receptacle flap 1 14 can be formed from opaque, transparent, or translucent material, in any suitable color. Color can be used to color-code a syringe pump as being intended for a particular use, using colors that are by convention associated with particular therapies. For example, the color orange is often associated with enteral infusions, and the color yellow is often associated with epidural infusions. It should be noted that these color associations are not universal and may vary between hospitals, institutions, regions, practices, etc. The ability to easily attach a customized receptacle flap can enable a caregiving organization to adapt the pump to the particular needs or desires of the organization. Receptacle flaps could be further customized with printed, molded, engraved, or otherwise imparted symbols, text, or any other desired marks.
  • Optical functionality can be provided with receptacle flaps.
  • Transparent and/or translucent receptacle flaps can provide a window through which a syringe may be viewed, providing a user with a direct visual path to assess the current status of the syringe. All or a portion of a transparent flap can be configured as a magnifier to assist visual inspection of a syringe.
  • a transparent and/or translucent receptacle flap can also be used as a lens or other optic to direct or otherwise manage light used to illuminate the syringe or other aspects of the pump.
  • a receptacle flap could be used as a light guide by injecting light into an edge of the flap, and extraction features patterned into the flap could direct light out of the flap and toward the syringe.
  • a configuration for placement of light emitters 129 of pump 100 to provide light in conjunction or cooperation with flap 1 14 is illustrated in Figure 4.
  • receptacle flap 1 14 can be structured to provide one or more convenient note- taking surfaces.
  • cover portion 1 15 of receptacle flap 1 14 can include a note-taking surface.
  • An outer surface and/or an inner surface of cover portion 1 15 of receptacle flap 1 14 can be structured as a note-taking surface.
  • Note-taking surfaces can be structured for marking with a compatible marking device, such as a pen, pencil, etc. In some embodiments, note-taking surfaces can be structured for erasably marking with a compatible erasable marking device.
  • Erasable marking devices can include dry-erase ink, pencil lead, or any other suitable marking media.
  • all or part of the receptacle flap can be formed from an erasable material, or coated with an erasable material, or otherwise include a surface having an erasable material.
  • Markable and/or erasably-markable surfaces can include, without limitation, melamine surfaces, polymer-coated metals or other substrates, enameled metals, porcelains, hardened laminates, painted surfaces, or any other suitable materials, including those used in white-boards, dry-erase boards, and the like.
  • Including a note-taking surface with receptacle flap 1 14 can provide a number of benefits. Providing a note-taking surface in close proximity to the infusate-containing syringe can, by proximity, imply an association of a note or notes written on the surface with the syringe. With a transparent receptacle flap 1 14, a marking or markings could be made on the note-taking surface of the receptacle flap overlying the syringe that directly correspond to volume markings of the syringe. An illuminated flap (e.g., lit by light emitters 129) could backlight a note or notes written on it, rendering them visible in low-light conditions.
  • housing 104 could be used for a note-taking surface or surfaces, so long as the surface or surfaces can be structured for marking with a compatible marking device, and particularly, for erasably marking with a compatible erasable marking device.
  • Some surfaces may be deemed more, or less appropriate for use as a note-taking surface.
  • a surface might be deemed less appropriate if written markings on the surface could lead to confusion with other markings or features of the device.
  • An example of a more appropriate or useful and less confusing surface might be a top of housing 104, which has a relatively large area and is located in a place where confusion with other pump features might be less likely to occur.
  • a possibly less advantageous aspect of providing note- taking surfaces on infusion pumps could be the possibility of degrading the pump' s visual appeal over time.
  • Some "erasable" surfaces can tend to stain or otherwise not completely erase with multiple uses, leading to a dingy, unclean, old, or otherwise unappealing appearance.
  • the detachable nature of receptacle flap 1 14 can provide a solution to this problem, enabling easy replacement of a degraded flap with a new or at least different or otherwise "clean" flap.
  • note-taking surfaces such as parts of housing 104
  • other solutions for providing clean note-taking surfaces are contemplated.
  • An embodiment that provides a clean note-taking surface includes attaching a stack of disposable peel-off note-taking surfaces on any suitable surface of an infusion pump, such as on the housing of the pump.

  • Replacement replaceable note-taking layers could be provided in a stack, from a roll, or in any suitable delivery/storage format. Replacement layers could be provided from a dispenser attached to a pump, an IV pole, a pump-rack, or in an equipment cabinet, or provided in any other suitable location.
  • the present disclosure contemplates systems and structures for providing illuminated note-taking surfaces readable in low-light conditions.
  • any suitable note-taking surface could be illuminated by a backlight configured to illuminate the surface.
  • Any suitable backlight technology could be used, such as LEDs or other light sources with a lightguide (and any other suitable light management films), electro-luminescent devices, "glow-in-the-dark” phosphorescent materials (incorporating phosphors such as zinc sulfide and/or strontium aluminate), and so on.
  • the backlight can underlie a surface structured to be (erasably) marked with a compatible (erasable) marking device, and/or a surface structured to receive a replaceable layer or a stack of layers, the layer(s) structured for (erasably) marking with a compatible (erasable) marking device.
  • a backlit note-taking surface can overlay or be adjacent to a dynamic display of an infusion pump.
  • a backlit area 150 can be provided on the front of pump 100 in conjunction with a dynamic display 152.
  • Dynamic display 152 can use any suitable display technology, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) or Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED).
  • dynamic display 152 can be illuminated by the same backlight that illuminates a nondynamic display portion of backlit area 150, but this is not necessary, and in some embodiments dynamic display 152 can be illuminated by a separate backlight, or by an illumination mechanism that is not a backlight (for example, an OLED display provides its own illumination and is not backlit, although the OLED display could backlight a surface overlying the display).
  • All or part of backlit area 150 can be provided as a note-taking surface that is structured for erasably marking with a compatible marking device, or for receiving a replaceable layer or a stack of layers that can be (erasably) marked.
  • All or part of the surface overlying dynamic display 152 can be structured as a note-taking surface (with note markings potentially overlying dynamically-displayed information), and/or all or part of the surface overlying dynamic display 152 can be structured not as a note-taking surface (for example, potentially including coatings or other materials engineered not to readily accept markings).
  • a replaceable note-taking layer or stack 500 of layers can overlie all of backlit area 150, including dynamic display 150, with different properties on different areas of the layer(s) that determine areas that are markable and not markable.
  • none of dynamic display 152 includes a note-taking surface, but backlit area 150 includes a note- taking surface that adjoins the dynamic display.
  • any suitable note-taking surface of the present disclosure could include permanent markings that could serve, for example, as prompts for written notes (e.g., "Dose ", "Rate ", and so on).
  • a dynamic display could dynamically provide similar prompts or guides for written notes.

Abstract

Une pompe à perfusion peut comprendre un réceptacle configuré pour recevoir une seringue et un volet de réceptacle qui peut être fixé de manière pivotante à la pompe. Le volet de réceptacle peut pivoter entre un mode ouvert et un mode fermé. Dans le mode fermé, le volet de réceptacle est dans une position qui empêche essentiellement l'accès au réceptacle et à la seringue contenue dans le réceptacle. Dans le mode ouvert, le volet de réceptacle est dans une position qui permet l'accès au réceptacle et à la seringue contenue dans le réceptacle. Le volet de réceptacle peut comprendre une surface structurée pour le marquage effaçable compatible avec un dispositif de marquage.
