A medication safety system includes a panel mounted to an IV pole above a multi- channel infusion pump also mounted to the IV pole. The panel includes multiple RFID readers for reading the RFID tags placed on each of the medication containers mounted to the panel. The pump includes a controller that communicates with the RFID readers at the panel to receive the information read by the RFID readers and automatically program the respective pump channel. A verification program verifies that the medication delivery information from the containers matches the patient identified for the pump and the programming parameters of the pump fall within acceptable ranges. In another aspect, the panel contains multiple vibration devices to impart vibrations to the medication of each of the containers mounted to the panel. Those vibrations are sensed by the particular pumping channel to confirm that the correct channel has been programmed for that medication. When the clinician opens the door of the pumping channel, the pump may request information from the RFID reader at the panel for that medication and may wait for receipt of the vibrations in the medication of the tubing mounted into the channel.

Système sûr de médication comprenant un panneau monté sur un pole IV au dessus d'une pompe d'infusion multicanal montée, à son tour, sur le pole IV. Le panneau comprend de multiples lecteurs RFID destiné à lire les étiquettes RFID placées sur chaque conteneur de médicament monté sur le panneau. La pompe comprend un contrôleur qui communique avec les lecteurs RFID au niveau du panneau afin de recevoir l'information lue par les lecteurs RFID et programme automatiquement le canal de pompe respectif. Un programme de vérification vérifie que l'information d'administration des médicaments en provenance des conteneurs correspond aux maladies identifiées et aux paramètres de programmation de la pompe selon des fourchettes acceptables. Selon un autre aspect, le panneau contient de multiples dispositifs de vibration faisant vibrer le médicament de chaque conteneur monté sur le panneau. Ces vibrations sont détectées par le canal de pompage particulier afin de confirmer que le canal correct a été programmé pour cet médicament. Lorsque le médecin ouvre la porte du canal de pompage, la pompe est susceptible de demander l'information en provenance du lecteur RFID au niveau du panneau pour ce médicament et attend que le médicament reçoive les vibrations, médicament se trouvant dans le tuyau monté dans le canal.
