Apparatus for monitoring and updating infusion pump software
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038358A1) describes an apparatus designed to receive operational software updates and drug library updates from a server and distribute them to multiple infusion pumps used in clinical settings to administer medication to patients. The apparatus is equipped with a processor and memory that enable it to monitor various parameters related to microservices responsible for the device's operation. If any parameter exceeds a set threshold, the apparatus generates a message indicating the issue and transmits it to the server. Additionally, the apparatus can reset the affected microservice to address the problem efficiently.
This innovative apparatus not only facilitates the seamless distribution of software and drug library updates to infusion pumps but also ensures optimal communication performance within the clinical environment. By continuously monitoring key parameters and promptly addressing any deviations from the set thresholds, the apparatus enhances the overall functionality and reliability of the infusion pumps. The ability to detect and report issues in real-time, as well as reset affected microservices, showcases the advanced capabilities of this apparatus in maintaining the smooth operation of medical devices critical for patient care.
