Clinical assessment and diagnostic tool for use with peristaltic pump
A method of storing on a remote storage device protocol information for a drug for administration via a peristaltic pump is disclosed. A communications path between the peristaltic pump and the remote storage device is provided. The protocol information for the drug is entered into the peristaltic pump. The protocol information is transferred from the peristaltic pump to the remote storage device. The protocol information for the drug is stored on the remote storage device. History information may be retrieved from the peristaltic pump. A user request is received requesting retrieval of history information from the peristaltic pump. A pump request is formatted to retrieve history information. The pump request to receive history information is transmitted to the peristaltic pump. The history information is received from the peristaltic pump. The history information can be displayed and/or stored.
1 . A method for extracting data from history information received from a peristaltic pump, so as to allow a user to program the peristaltic pump in a remote location, the method comprising:
monitoring the history information of the peristaltic pump;
receiving the history information from the peristaltic pump;
receiving a request for information to extract from a history file containing the history information;
extracting the requested information from the history file; and
transmitting the requested information to a computing device located in the remote location.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the extracted information.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the extracted information is displayed in a graphical format.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising saving the extracted information in a file.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the extracted information is saved in a graphical format.
6 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving a request to delete the file; and
deleting the file.
7 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving a request to rename the file; and
renaming the file.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising printing the extracted information.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the extracted information is printed in a graphical format.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the extracted information.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the extracted information is transmitted in a graphical format.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the extracted information is transmitted via e-mail.
13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested information is patient side administration set line pressure information.
14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested information is bolus request information.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the bolus request information includes volume of medication administered in response to bolus requests.
16 . A method for extracting bolus request information from history information received from a peristaltic pump, the method comprising:
monitoring history information of the peristaltic pump, the history information including at least the amount of bolus administrated by the peristaltic pump;
receiving the history information from the peristaltic pump;
storing the history information in a history file;
receiving a request to extract information from the history file; and
extracting the requested information from the history file.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising displaying the extracted request information.
18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the extracted request information is displayed in a graphical format.
19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the bolus request information includes volume of medication administered in response to bolus requests.
20 . A method for extracting patient side administration set line pressure data from history information received from a peristaltic pump, the method comprising:
monitoring history information that includes at least the patient side administration set line pressure of the peristaltic pump;
receiving the history information from the peristaltic pump;
receiving a request for the patient side administration set line pressure information; and
extracting the requested patient side administration set line pressure information from a history file containing the history information.
21 . The method of claim 20 , further comprising displaying the extracted patient side administration set line pressure information.
22 . The method of claim 20 , wherein the extracted patient side administration set line pressure information is displayed in a graphical format.
