Abstract

An electrical neurostimulation system, which can be used in pain therapy, includes a stimulator having a shaft and a distal end having a plurality of electrodes arranged along an axis of the shaft and configured for outputting electrical stimuli to a body tissue surrounding the shaft. A control device is connected to the electrodes for controlling the output of the electrical stimuli. The electrodes can be activated and deactivated independently of one another by the control device and activated for forming different electrode activation patterns along the axis. A determining device can determine an axial dislocation of the shaft. The control device is connected to the determining device and can axially move the electrode activation pattern by a change of the activation and deactivation of the electrodes as a function of the axial dislocation, to locally adapt output of the electrical stimuli to the axial dislocation of the shaft.

Abstract

A medical arrangement for electrical neurostimulation includes an insertion aid with an insertion shaft which has a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen longitudinally extended between the proximal end and the distal end, a stimulator with a stimulator shaft which has a distal stimulator end with a stimulation electrode designed to deliver electric current pulses, and which has an electrical conductor, the distal end of which forms the stimulation electrode or is connected to the stimulation electrode. The arrangement is transferable between first and second configurations. In the first configuration, the stimulator shaft is inserted into the lumen via the proximal end of the insertion shaft and the distal stimulator end protrudes beyond the distal end. In the second configuration, the stimulator shaft is proximally pulled out of the lumen of the insertion shaft and the insertion aid and the stimulator are separated from one another.

A multiplex infusion system (100) for dispensing different medical fluids (F1, F2,... Fn) distally to a patient (P) has a control device (110); and a multiplex infusion device with a tubular catheter (2) and a multiplex unit (1). The tubular catheter (2) has at least one inner lumen (4) between a proximal end (15) and a distal end (16). The multiplex unit (1) has a plurality of valves and/or feed devices (X-S; X-2, X-3,... X-n) which, for connection in parallel, are each fluidically connected to the at least one lumen (4) at the proximal end (15). For standard operation of the multiplex infusion system (100), the control device (110) is configured to actuate the plurality of valves and/or feed devices (X-S; X-2, X-3,... X-n) in a respectively associated plurality of feed lines (L-S; L-2, L3,... L-n) for the supply and/or removal of fluid, so as to feed the different medical fluids (F1, F2,... Fn) with respectively associated positive flow directions (SR-plus) in the time-division mutiplex through the at least one lumen (4). For the interim operation to which the system switches from the standard operation, the control device (110) is further configured to select and actuate at least one of the plurality of valves and/or feed devices (X-S; X-2, X-3,... X-n) as a selected reverse flow device (R) in an associated selected reverse flow fluid line (L-R), in order to feed an associated fluid volume unit (V1 to V6) through the selected reverse flow fluid line (L-R) via the selected reverse flow device (R) with an associated reverse flow direction (SR-minus).

Abstract

An infusion system includes a catheter with a proximal end, distal end, at least one lumen between the proximal end and distal end, and outlets. Each outlet connects to the at least one lumen to convey fluid, and extends radially through a catheter wall of the catheter. The outlets are spaced apart from in the proximodistal direction, and include a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet is opened independently of a fluid pressure prevailing in the lumen in order to administer an analgesic. The second outlet is adapted for fluid pressure-dependent administration of the analgesic and capable of being converted, as a function of fluid pressure inside the lumen, between an opening state, in which the second outlet is opened to administer the analgesic, and a closure state, in which the second outlet is closed. The infusion system can be used in pain management.

Abstract

In a method and system for programming infusion pumps, infusion orders are transmitted from a data management system. A number of infusion pumps are connected to a backend of an infusion pump system. The data management system transmits infusion orders to the backend for intermediate storage via an interface. An infusion pump receives buffered infusion orders from the backend via a second interface. A first verification code is assigned to the respective infusion order as a unique identifier and included in transmissions. A container is assigned to the respective infusion order, which is equipped or connected with an information carrier containing the first verification code. The infusion pump is assigned an input for entering a second verification code. The second verification code is compared with the first verification code. The infusion order is executed or executable by the infusion pump when the first and second verification codes match.

According to the invention, a housing is provided in which the sensor device, the controller, and the actuator device are arranged, said housing having a first housing half and a second housing half that can be moved relative to each other between an open state, in which the housing halves are moved away from each other in order to insert an axial hose section of the hose line between the housing halves, and a closed state, in which the housing halves are moved towards each other and are secured together in order to clamp the hose section between the housing halves and thus secure the housing to the hose line. The pressing element is arranged on the first housing half and can be moved relative to the second housing half in order to apply the pressing force. The invention also relates to a use of the device for infusion therapy.

Abstract

A method for reducing a bolus in a fluid guide unit, a forecast method, a safety device and a medical pump. The method for reducing a bolus includes detecting a pressure course in the fluid guide unit by a sensor unit, storing the pressure course in a memory unit; determining an occlusion probability by a control unit based on the pressure course, detecting a volume delivered by the pump for an operating range with high occlusion probability, which can be based on a detected number of motor steps of a pump motor or of a detected rotation angle of the pump motor, detecting an occurrence of an occlusion at a detection time by a detection unit when exceeding a pressure limit value, and pumping back the delivered volume for the operating range with high occlusion probability, in particular by retracting the detected motor steps or the detected rotation angle.

Abstract

A device for administering an infusion or transfusion of liquid from a container includes a pump for pumping liquid to a patient connection via a conduit having a liquid-retaining filter membrane. The device also includes a pressure measuring device for acquiring measurement values corresponding to a pump-inlet-side pressure, and a control device for detecting a change in the pump-inlet-side pressure based on the measurement values. The control device determines, based on the change in the pump-inlet-side pressure, whether to stop pumping. The control device also generates a control signal when the pumping is to be stopped. Moreover, the control device emits, based on the control signal, a communication signal to a data connection between the device and a unit that reads the communication signal. In addition, or in the alternative, the control device switches the device from a first state to a second state based on the control signal.
