Abstract
(EN)
A system and method for monitoring changes in the pressure of a fluid line upstream of an infusion pump to determine when a fluid container has emptied, and to provide a signal indicating that the container needs replacement or replenishment. The difference between averaged pressures over separate time periods is monitored to determine when the fluid container is empty. The system and method are applicable to primary and secondary fluid container setups and can detect the point where the secondary has been emptied and the primary flow has resumed.
(FR)
L'invention concerne un système et un procédé qui permettent de surveiller les changements de pression d'un conduit pour fluide en amont d'une pompe à perfusion afin de déterminer le moment où un récipient pour fluide est vide et de fournir un signal indiquant que le récipient doit être remplacé ou rempli. La différence entre les pressions moyennées sur des périodes séparées est surveillée afin de déterminer le moment où le récipient pour fluide est vide. Le système et le procédé selon l'invention peuvent être appliqués à des réglages primaires et secondaires du récipient pour fluide et permettent de détecter le point auquel le flux secondaire a été vidé et le flux primaire a été renouvelé.
