Original Abstract Submitted
An infusion pump is secured within a lockbox configured to enclose and prevent access to the infusion pump and a medication receptacle of the infusion pump, the lockbox including a lockbox control interface configured to obtain authorization for access to the lockbox from a pump communication interface of the infusion pump and enclosed within the lockbox. The lockbox control interface is electronically coupled with the pump communication interface. Transmission of a wireless credential is made to the pump communication interface by way of being received at the lockbox control interface or at the pump interface through the lockbox. The lockbox control interface receives the authorization from the pump communication interface for access based on the wireless credential and performs an action according to the received authorization for access. Action includes unlocking the lockbox or the lockbox control interface extending the pump's interface to the authorized user.
