Abstract
For complex treatment regimens in the field of modern infusion therapy and for the administration of potent drugs (liquid management), a special microcomputer (Infucommand III) has been developed which makes it possible to control commercial infusion pumps via a standardized interface. By this means, infusion pumps can be combined with other medical instruments or further pumps to form an intelligent unit. Due to its small dimensions and few operating elements, the control device is easy to handle. A high safety standard has been achieved in routine operation, from the aspects of both hardware and software. Large memories (ROM and RAM) enable a large number of different user programs to be stored. In initial clinical trials the devices have already stood the test with regard to patient-controlled and EEG-controlled-anesthesia.
