Application: Tagging pump messages with identifiers that facilitate restructuring (Patent ID: US20240071606A1)
The patent filed by ICU Medical Inc. describes techniques for communication between a clinical environment and a cloud environment. One method involves tagging messages with facility identifiers without needing to update them when facilities are rearranged. This is achieved by using permanent IDs to tag messages received from devices like infusion pumps in the clinical environment, ensuring that even if the facility is categorized differently in another system or region, the identifiers in the message remain unchanged.
The patent further details a method for tagging messages with hierarchical identifiers associated with different groups at varying levels within an organization. By tagging messages with permanent identifiers linked to specific groups, the need for changing identifiers when groups are reorganized is eliminated. The apparatus described in the patent includes processors and memories storing instructions to process messages, tag them with hierarchical identifiers, and transmit them to a remote server. Additionally, the apparatus can determine group detection indicators associated with messages or devices to assign default hierarchical identifiers if no match is found in the database, ensuring accurate tagging of messages even in complex hierarchical structures.
