DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR VALIDATING AUTOMATED PROGRAMMING REQUESTS
An infusion device includes a fluid pump and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an automated programming request (APR) from a device manager, where the APR includes an indicated order type. The processor is also configured to determine an implied order type for the APR based in part on whether the fluid pump is active.

A fluid connector assembly can be provided that permits ease of connection, secure connection with a fluid connector, and a safety release mechanism that enables the fluid connector assembly to safely disengage from the fluid connector. The fluid connector assembly can include a post and a hub that is slidably coupled to the post. When disconnected from the fluid connector, the hub can be locked or fixed at a lockout position, which can tend to prevent reconnection or reuse of the hub, thereby facilitating safe and sanitary medical practices.

A locking cap assembly includes an upper housing; a lower housing rotatably connected to the upper housing and configured to be fitted onto a container; a near field communication (NFC) module configured to wirelessly receive a NFC input; an inductive charging coil; a microprocessor; and a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism includes a locking latch configured to prevent the upper housing and the lower housing from rotating with respect to each other; and an electrical actuation component configured to lock and unlock the latch and a current generated by the inductive charging coil. The lower housing includes a plurality of locking vanes within the lower housing, the locking vanes being configured to variably define an inner diameter size of the lower housing responsive to a rotation of the upper housing with respect to the lower housing when the lower housing is mechanically engaged with the container.
Syringe adapters are provided that include a female connector, a body in fluid communication with the female connector, a male connector in fluid communication with the female connector and the body, the male connector configured to couple with a medical device, a chamber fluidly coupled to and extending outward from the body, wherein a fluid path is formed through the female connector and the body and into the chamber, and wherein a closed system is provided when the syringe is uncoupled from the syringe adapter. Methods of using syringe adapters and fluid delivery systems having syringe adapters are also provided.
A circular roller clamp assembly includes a semi-circular housing configured to receive a portion of an intravenous tube, a roller configured to be movably received by a guide groove disposed in the semi-circular housing, and a tube channel disposed within the guide groove, the tube channel comprising one of a varying width from a first end to a second end and a varying depth from a first end to a second end, wherein the roller clamp assembly is configured to regulate a flow rate of fluid flowing through the IV tube based on engagement of the roller with the IV tube via circumferential movement of the roller along the guide groove. Additional circular roller clamp assemblies and IV sets with circular roller clamp assemblies are also provided.

INTELLIGENTLY CONTROLLING PATIENT-CONTROLLED DRUG DELIVERY
An infusion control device detects a patient-controlled drug-requesting device that is in operable communication with the infusion control device. The infusion control device identifies sensor devices and drug-delivery apparatuses separate from the infusion control device that are in operable communication with the infusion control device. The infusion control device selects a drug-control algorithm for approving drug requests received by the patient-controlled drug-requesting device. The infusion control device identifies a patient using the patient-controlled drug-requesting device, and receives patient physiological data from the sensor devices. The infusion control device receives a request for a drug to be delivered to the patient by a drug-delivery apparatus. The infusion control devices determines whether the patient is authorized to perform the drug request. And based on determining that the patient is authorized, the infusion control device causes delivery of the drug to the patient.
