Abstract

An infusion pump system includes an infusion channel, and a display associated with the infusion channel. The display is for rendering a scannable barcode.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An infusion pump system comprising:
an infusion channel;
a display associated with the infusion channel for rendering scannable barcodes;
a wireless interface; and
a barcode generator to generate in real-time a first scannable barcode and a second scannable barcode in response to input information comprising configuration information received via the wireless interface from a remote medical system, wherein the configuration information includes a volume infused by the infusion pump system via the infusion channel and a volume of medication remaining, wherein the second scannable barcode replaces the first scannable barcode on the display.

2. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first scannable barcode and the second scannable barcode comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

3. The infusion pump system of claim 2 , wherein the URL is directed to a resource location, which when accessed by a mobile device, causes information associated with an alarm for the infusion pump system or information associated with a malfunction for the infusion pump system to be displayed on a screen of the mobile device.

4. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of infusion channels; and
a plurality of displays associated with the plurality of infusion channels, wherein the plurality of displays are for rendering a plurality of scannable barcodes that correspond to the plurality of infusion channels.

5. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the display is associated with a plurality of infusion channels.

6. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the display is integrated with the pump.

7. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the display is a transmissive display.

8. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the display is a reflective display.

9. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the input information further comprises: unique device data.

10. The infusion pump system of claim 9 , wherein the input information further comprises: system state information.

11. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the display is further configured for rendering user readable information.

12. The infusion pump system of claim 1 , wherein the configuration data further includes one or more of: a specification of a barcode format, or a symbology and encoding to create the first scannable barcode and the second scannable barcode.

13. The infusion pump system of claim 9 , wherein the unique device data includes one or more of: a model number for the infusion pump, a serial number for the infusion pump, or a media access control address for the infusion pump.
