a plunger configured to move toward and away from a tube;
a spring configured to bias the plunger toward the tube;
an actuator configured to cause the plunger to move away from the tube, wherein the actuator is further configured to mechanically disengage from the plunger;
a position sensor configured to sense a position of the plunger;
an inlet valve and an outlet valve;
a real-time processor in operative communication with the position sensor to receive the sensed position of the plunger, wherein the real-time processor is configured to:
estimate fluid flow within the tube using the sensed position of the plunger;
detect an anomaly based in part on the sensed plunger position when:
the inlet valve is in the occluding position, the outlet valve is in the occluding position, the actuator is mechanically disengaged with the plunger thereby making the spring the sole source of actuation force of the plunger toward the tube;
log an infusion of fluid to generate at least one infusion log; and
interact with an intercommunication task within the real-time processor to communicate the log; and
a user-interface processor configured to:
receive the log via an intercommunication process,
store the log in a database, and
communicate the log via a device gateway communication manager.
