Touchscreen lock feature for ambulatory infusion pump
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240038380A1) describes an ambulatory infusion pump with innovative features. The pump includes a housing, a delivery mechanism for fluid delivery, a user interface with a touchscreen, and a processor for generating menu screens and processing touch input. One unique aspect is the automatic locking of the touchscreen during uninterrupted operations, preventing accidental input. The touchscreen is unlocked only upon receiving a predefined unlock touch input, ensuring user control and safety during critical pump operations such as cartridge replacement or fluid filling.
Additionally, the system can include an infusion cartridge with a reservoir and outlet for fluid delivery, coupled with the pump device. The processor in the cartridge or pump generates menu screens and handles touch input for setting parameters. The touchscreen locking feature during uninterrupted operations adds an extra layer of security and prevents errors. The processor's ability to display an unlock confirmation screen further enhances user interaction and ensures that the pump does not navigate to subsequent menu screens until a confirmation touch input is received, maintaining a user-friendly and safe operation of the ambulatory infusion system.
