MUMBAI, India, March 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441068708 A) filed by Baxter International Inc.; and Baxter Healthcare Sa, Deerfield, U.S.A., on Sept. 11, 2024, for 'design and logic to detect infusion pump vertical displacement and measure unintended bolus, missing volume, time without infusion, and other parameters.'
Inventor(s) include Swarnkar, Rajesh.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an improved medical pump designs, systems, and logic to detect medical pump vertical displacement are provided. The relative position of the pump with respect to an initial position set by a user may be measured. The designs, systems, and logic may also be used to detect the change in the height of a patient relative to the medical pump during therapy by measuring hydrostatic pressure in a patient line. The detected change in vertical displacements can be used to determine the volume of an unintended bolus or a missing volume during infusion therapy. The therapy may be adjusted based on the unintended bolus or missing volume as desired. The designs, systems, and logic may further include a transport mode to help maintain consistent therapy while a patient is ambulated or the pump is moved."
