    Abstract: An apparatus method, and system for detecting a leaking occluder valve is disclosed. At least one measurement instrument is connected to a fluid within a fluid tubing upstream or downstream of a pump element of an infusion device. The pump element is configured to periodically cause a compression of the fluid tubing and to isolate a downstream portion of the fluid tubing from an upstream portion of the fluid tubing when the pump element is operating under a normal operating condition. A response of the fluid is measured when the pump element is caused to compress the fluid tubing and a determination is made, based on the response whether the compression has fluidically isolated the downstream portion from the upstream portion. One or more shims may be inserted into the occluder valve to move the platen away from the pump element during the test to determine a degree of fault.

    Abstract: Force sensing assemblies for an infusion pump are provided. A force sensing assembly includes a processor and an occlusion sensor coupled to the processor. The occlusion sensor is positioned opposed to an occluder valve when the platen is closed. The force sensing assembly measures one or more forces exerted on a fluid tube during a pump cycle. Infusion pump assemblies, methods of operating an infusion pump with a force sensing assembly, systems for controlling an infusion pump and an infusion device are also provided.

    Abstract: A bin assembly, bin identification system and method are disclosed. A container bin assembly includes a bin body, a latching mechanism, and controller. A method includes receiving, via a communication interface, an authenticated request to access the smart container, actuating an electromechanical latch to disengage a fastening hook, thereby initiating a mechanical movement of an access component to make an internal compartment accessible, outputting, via an audiovisual element, an alert to identify the container, confirming that the electromechanical latch has re-engaged with the fastening hook, thereby securing the internal compartment, determining a change in a local inventory, and updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change.

    Abstract: A shield assembly includes a closing structure configured to be disposed over an opening of an enclosure. The closing structure includes an inner surface configured to face an inside of the enclosure when the closing structure is closed and a finger bracket structure mounted on the inner surface, the finger bracket structure having a bracket and one or more finger gaskets coupled to the bracket. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielded gasket disposed along a portion of the opening of the enclosure shields an edge of the opening of the enclosure or a radio frequency (RF) fence bracket coupled to a frame disposed around the opening of the enclosure creates a narrow path between the frame and the closing structure, the narrow path attenuating RF signals passing through the narrow path and shielding an edge of the opening of the enclosure.

    Abstract: An integrated intravenous (IV) administration set includes a flow stop having a tubing fitment and a housing, the flow stop configured, in a first position, to prevent a flow of a fluid through the tubing, and in a second position, to permit the flow of the fluid through the tubing, the tubing fitment comprising a protrusion configured to receive a tubing. The IV administration set also includes an electronic flow sensor disposed within the housing, the electronic flow sensor configured to measure a flow of a fluid in the tubing, and one or more conductive connections configured within the housing and configured to provide electrical power to the electronic flow sensor. The flow stop is shaped to be loaded and engaged to a receptacle of an infusion device, and shaped to cause, when loaded and engaged, the one or more conductive connections to engage with a corresponding conductive connection provided by the infusion device to activate the flow sensor based on a power flow from the infusion device.

    Abstract: A system and method for operating an analgesia administration system is disclosed. A control device is associated with a drug delivery device and configured to receive a first user input including at least a portion of a fingerprint of a patient, together with a second user input corresponding to a request to administer medication. The portion of the fingerprint is compared with previously-stored fingerprints to determine an identity of the patient and, in response to receiving the second user input and determining that the patient is an authorized user, one or more sensors are used to obtain one or more signals indicative of a state of the patient. If the state of the patient satisfies a set of medication delivery criteria, the drug delivery device is caused to administer a predefined amount of medication to the patient.
