MONIDOR IV Screen Infusion Remote Monitor Software
INTRODUCTION
This document is the user manual for IV Screen infusion remote monitoring, a
software designed by Monidor Oy.
It is recommended that you read this user manual carefully before use.
This software can only be used with Monidrop® W Infusion monitor delivered by
Monidor Oy. The use of the software with any other monitoring device is
forbidden.
Intended use
IV Screen is a cloud-based software service. Monidrop® W infusion meters
connect to the IV Screen service and send infusion and device information to
the IV Screen service and receive infusion-related reference values as shown
in Figure 1.
IV Screen application shows infusion data of the connected infusion monitors
on a mobile device or a PC screen. Multiple Monidrop W infusion monitors can
be connected to IV Screen simultaneously.
The intended purpose of the IV Screen is to remotely show current IV infusion status of above-mentioned IV infusion monitors:
- infusion flow rate
- infusion volume
- infusion time
- notification status
- battery status
IV Screen application gives visual notifications. It shows the identification information of each infusion monitor, which are connected to the IV Screen cloud. Remote monitoring of all infusions from one screen helps nurses to evaluate and follow IV infusions.
Intended conditions of use
Application is intended to be used in the following conditions:
- In hospitals, hospitals wards, hospital theatres, surgeries, health centres, doctor’s offices, clinics
- Indoor use
- In the home
- It is possible, but not recommended, to use the application in outdoor environment.
Operating principle
IV Screen receives and stores the remote monitoring data from the remote
devices and shows the remote monitoring data and notifications to the users.
IV Screen service is run on secure cloud server or on a locally hosted server,
and it is used with IV Screen application for Windows or Android, or with a
Web browser.
Monidor remote monitoring service consists of three parts. See figure 1:
- Monidrop infusion meters, that measure status of IV infusion therapy and send data, such as current infusion rate and infused total volume to IV Screen.
- a cloud or server software service which receives and stores the remote monitoring data from the Monidrop devices, and
- a user interface to show the remote monitoring data to the users. It may include audible/visual notifications to the user. It may allow pre-setting of monitoring related parameters. These parameters may be e.g., notification threshold or device control parameters.
