Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation

FDA recommends running both and checking that a control for one doesn't create a risk in the other.

A technical report from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, called AAMI TIR fifty-seven, describes how the two processes interface.

For an AI feature, ask three questions before anyone argues about prompt injection.

First, what is its essential performance? What must it keep doing, and what must it do when it can't? Second, what is the harm if it's wrong, manipulated, or unavailable? That could be an injury, a bad clinical or financial decision, a physical action, or a lost or delayed service.

And nurses should really be engaged with this process also.

I r- I've spoken at the, at the AAMI conference, uh, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, a number of times, which is a biomedical engineering conference.

And we've spoken a lot about how nurses and biomedical engineers can engage to keep our pumps and our equipment up and running and maintained properly because it has to be a, you know, an engaged process on both sides.

But it, it comes down to this still being a system, and the maintenance of that system is going to impact the quality of care that we can deliver through that system.

You can turn to the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for published examples of reported infusion pump problems that sound similar to what's going on here with usability issues.

The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation focuses on human factors engineering, and also has examples of pump usability and being able to update pumps wirelessly.

The authors highlight that what they experience with these smart pumps at their institution is likely due to the combination of high-turnover areas and administration of intravenous anesthesia medications.

For example, on the medical ward, nurses may use an infusion pump with the same size syringes every time to give antibiotics, but anesthesia professionals may need to be able to change the syringe size quickly for the same patient while providing anesthesia.
