Abstract

Drug dispensing system for dispensing of drugs from a reservoir or external reservoir such as a standard I.V. bag through a drug dispenser according to a preselected algorithm controlling a motor where a CPU pumps the drug. An external controller for the drug dispenser stores a plurality of parameters including a patient number, name, drug dispenser number, date, time, drug, an algorithms for dispensing the drug including dosage levels and frequency of dosage where the algorithm is stored in the external controller and the program is subsequently stored in the CPU of the drug dispenser for subsequent controlling of the motor driving the pump for dispensing of the drug. The external controller also includes an LCD display for medical personnel interaction and a printer for hard copy storage of the selected algorithm and other information as programmed into the external controller by a keyboard. A flexible cord connects the external controller to a drug dispenser for programming the CPU for an algorithm for dispensing a drug by the drug dispenser.
