The present invention comprises a security system integral with a sedation
and analgesia system. The invention includes a computer assisted IV drug
infusion administration device coupled with a secure user interface, or
other security means, that can restrict and monitor user access to
prevent unauthorized or improper use of the device. The system can also
provide varying levels of access to the device so that different users
may have different levels of access to system operations. The variety of
access levels may prevent accidental or intentional misuse of the drug
delivery system, while still permitting access to the required
functionality. Data, such as usage statistics and procedural events
associated with drug delivery, may be recorded in association with a
user's personal identification information to help identify training
needs and to identify possible misuse of access information.
