INFUSION PUMP WITH PATIENT WEIGHT CHECK

Abstract:

An infusion pump is configured to determine a confidence in a patient weight value that is used to determine one or more treatment parameters. The infusion pump includes a display configured to display, a keypad, a processor in communication with the display, and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the execution of a patient weight check. The patient weight check determines a patient weight value corresponding to a weight of a medical patient to receive an infusion therapy from the infusion pump according to one or more treatment parameters, and a reference weight value corresponding to a weight estimate of the medical patient. The patient weight check determines that a difference between the patient weight value and the reference weight value violates a threshold condition and provides an indication to the user of the violation. The patient weight check receives a confirmation associated with the patient weight value, determines the one or more treatment parameters using the patient weight value, and provides the infusion therapy to the patient according to the one or more treatment parameters.
