Monitoring an infusion pump

The present invention relates to a method for monitoring an infusion pump, comprising the following process steps: a) acquiring information (A) for detecting a pumping process of the infusion pump (1), wherein the information includes at least one sensor (6, 7) of the infusion pump (1) can be detected, preferably over a predetermined period, wherein the at least one sensor (6 , 7) the prevailing pressure within one (with the infusion pump 1) connected to the hose detected, via the hose infusion liquid by the infusion pump (1) is transported; b) analysis of the acquired information (B, C) by a comparison of the waveform or curve of the collected information with a predefined curve shape or characteristic, wherein the predefined waveform and characteristic includes an error-free pumping process the infusion pump (1); and c) detecting a fault (H) of the infusion pump, if a deviation of the waveform characteristic or the acquired information is determined from the predefined curve shape or characteristic in the analysis (B, C). Further, the present invention relates to a device for monitoring an infusion pump and an infusion pump
