20090118697 | CLOSED LOOP ANESTHETIC DELIVERY - A method for delivering a sedation drug comprising administering a drug to a patient while requesting the patient to respond to an instruction, monitoring a patient's BIS values, bringing the patient to a level of anesthesia where the patient fails to respond to the request within a predetermined response time, and determining a BIS value that coincides with the level of anesthesia corresponding to the failure to respond. | 05-07-2009 |
20100010433 | MEDICAL SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS DELIVERY OF A DRUG - A first medical system includes a controller, a plurality of predetermined patient monitors, and a predetermined drug-delivering medical effector. The controller is adapted to choose different groups of the patient monitors for different medical procedures involving the medical effector. A second medical system includes a controller which is adapted to identify, by querying, connected ones of a multiplicity of medical effectors and connected ones of a plurality of patient monitors and is adapted to control at least one connected medical effector using at least some of the connected patient monitors for a predetermined medical procedure. | 01-14-2010 |
20100300438 | METHOD AND SEDATION DELIVERY SYSTEM INCLUDING A PUMP ASSEMBLY AND A CO-FORMULATION OF FIRST AND SECOND DRUGS - A drug delivery system includes drug containers, a pump assembly, a sensor, and a controller. The drug containers each contain a different predetermined drug co-formulation of predetermined first and second drugs, wherein the first drug has a sedative effect. The sensor is adapted to sense a variable associated with the drug containers and output a different drug co-formulation identification signal associated with each of the drug containers based on the sensed variable. The controller is programmed to identify the drug co-formulation for the drug container operatively connected to the pump assembly from the associated identification signal and to control the pump assembly to deliver the drug co-formulation of the one drug container to the patient during a medical procedure according to a corresponding drug delivery algorithm which is different for each of the drug containers. A method is also disclosed which uses the drug delivery system. | 12-02-2010 |
20110021978 | DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM INCLUDING A DRUG-CONTAINER HOLDER AND A PUMP ASSEMBLY - A first drug delivery system includes first and second drug-container holders and first and second pump assemblies. The first (second) holder is adapted to receive a first (second) drug container having a first (a different second) dimensioned shape but not a second (first) drug container having a different second (a first) dimensioned shape. A second drug delivery system includes first and second bar code scanners, first and second drug-container holders, and first and second pump assemblies. The first (second) holder is adapted to receive a first (second) drug container having a dimensioned shape and to orient a positioned first (second) bar code of the first (second) drug container to face the first (second) bar code scanner because of the dimensioned shape. In one application, the first drug is a sedative drug, the second drug is an analgesic drug, and the drugs are used during a conscious sedation medical procedure. | 01-27-2011 |
20110245579 | MEDICAL EFFECTOR SYSTEM - A sedation delivery system comprised of a bedside unit and a procedure unit. The bedside unit contains a series of connection points for receiving inputs from a series of patient monitors. The procedure unit contains a patient monitoring and a drug delivery pump or magnetic flux generator capable of sedative therapy to a patient. The sedation delivery system contains the capability to issue and receive a request from a non-sedated patient, issue and receive a request from a sedated patient and then to calculate a time difference. The sedation delivery system program operates the pump or magnetic flux generator based upon at least some of the patient outputs and program inputs including a calculated time difference. A removable umbilical cable connects the two units and allows the output of the patient monitors as well as other information to travel between the two units. | 10-06-2011 |
20130042863 | DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH OPEN ARCHITECTURAL FRAMEWORK - A medical system includes a sedation system and a central station in communication with the sedation system. The sedation system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit is operable to deliver drugs to the patient based on data from the monitoring unit. The central station is operable to store patient related data and access a plurality of sedation systems. The central station may remotely control drug delivery through sedation systems, remotely provide voice instructions through sedation systems, display video feeds from sedation systems, respond to queries from sedation systems, and/or provide other functionalities. The system may also include an instrument that is operable to perform surgical and/or therapeutic procedures on the patient. The sedation system may provide power to the instrument and/or otherwise communicate with the instrument. | 02-21-2013 |
20130046279 | USER INTERFACE FEATURE FOR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM - A medical system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit includes an integral volume of a drug. A control logic is in communication with the monitoring unit and the drug delivery unit and is operable to regulate delivery of the drug to the patient from the integral volume, based on data associated with the at least one physiological parameter of the patient, in accordance with a safety shell control algorithm. A user interface feature is operable to receive input indicating administration of an external drug to the patient. The safety shell control algorithm responds to inputs received through the user interface feature indicating administration of an external drug to the patient, such as by modifying subsequent drug delivery regulation based on the administration of the external drug. | 02-21-2013 |
20130046280 | DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH PROCEDURE STAGE BASED DELIVERY ADJUSTMENT - A medical system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit includes an integral volume of a drug. A control logic is in communication with the monitoring unit and is operable to regulate delivery of the drug to the patient from the integral volume, based on data associated with the at least one physiological parameter of the patient, in accordance with a safety shell control algorithm. A user interface feature is operable to receive input indicating a stage of progress in a medical procedure. The safety shell control algorithm responds to inputs received through the user interface feature indicating a stage of progress in a medical procedure, such as by modifying subsequent drug delivery regulation based on the beginning or completion of a stage of progress in a medical procedure. | 02-21-2013 |
