Patent attributes
An infusion pump automation system and method includes an infusion pump, an infusion pump and a remote processor. The remote processor is remote to the infusion pump and includes a controller interface and a controller, such that the controller bidirectionally communicates with the infusion pump, determines a current infusion state of the infusion pump and a current infusion pump user interface state and accepts a command to change the infusion state of the infusion pump from an external server. The controller determines if the command is consistent with the current infusion state of the infusion pump and the current infusion pump user interface state, executes the command if the command is able to be successfully executed, and confirms that the command is successfully executed.
