Manually operated medical equipment, including drug
infusion pumps, are often subject to input errors. Human
operators copy data from a prescription into the relevant form
field on the equipment panels. This process is error prone and
time consuming. A computer supported memory aid is proposed
where the user remembers phrases instead of value sequences.
The proposed strategy speeds up the task of setting up medical
equipment while reducing the chances of human errors.
