CLOSED MULTI-FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD

A multiple fluid delivery apparatus is provided for delivering intravenous fluids to a patient in a composite fluid flow from a plurality of fluid sources (56a,56b,56c). Electrically operated occluders (64a,64b,64c) are actuated to control fluid flow from the sources to a junction (70) where little...

Zusammenfassung:A multiple fluid delivery apparatus is provided for delivering intravenous fluids to a patient in a composite fluid flow from a plurality of fluid sources (56a,56b,56c). Electrically operated occluders (64a,64b,64c) are actuated to control fluid flow from the sources to a junction (70) where little or no mixing occurs. A predetermined delivery schedule is programmed into a controller (102,142), which controls the administration by actuation of the occluders. The controller stores information on fluid compatibility and an indicium of compatibility is visually displayed before the occluders are actuated.
