PCA Calculator (the “App”) is a mobile app designed to simplify the process of ordering a PCA (patient- controlled anesthesia). The App is a form in which the user inputs a patient's weight, desired drug, lockout interval, starting dose, and continuing dose. The App them returns the doses per kilogram as well as the one-hour limit (both absolute and per kilogram) on a second screen. This allows the user to input the minimum information required to fill out a PCA order form in the ordering system, minimizing the number of calculations done.
The App collects no personal data. The only customizations provided are rounding rules that can be set for each drug, but these preferences are stored on the device. The App does not communicate to the internet. The App stores no patient data, other than transiently storing the form inputs in order to perform calculations. All data entered is lost upon exiting the App.
