Abstract
An infusion delivery system eliminates the requirement for individual 'smart pump' assemblies each of which includes a processor, power supply and operator I/O for each IV container suspended on an IV rack. An acquisition module capable of supporting multiple IV containers is suspended from the hospital bed frame and includes a plurality of ports into which a connector is inserted for controlling a dumb pump on each IV container. The acquisition module includes a processor, power supply and operator input/output mechanism for programming the delivery schedule for each of several IV containers. The dumb pump on each IV container includes only the mechanical components required for pumping the IV fluid to the patient. The infusion delivery system thus provides a less cluttered, more compact, and economical delivery system for IV fluids compared to the prior art.
