You can't do it with the particular Thunderbolt hub you have. You need one with DisplayLink support for M1 based Mac. The Sonnet DisplayLink Dual DisplayPort Adapter works. (Alternatively, your current hub and displays will work with a M1Pro/Max/Ultra based machines.)

As a healthcare provider, the setup of a PCA pump with the correct programming is vital to ensure patient care is optimal. Below are the steps to program your PCA pump as shown in our YouTube training video for the popular Alaris PCA Pump Module.

I'm trying to find a solution to switching external monitors between an M1 Mac mini and an Intel MacBook Pro by replugging a single Thunderbolt cable.

Many of the pumps have safety features built into the pump to prevent the patient from receiving too much medication. Some even feature a lock and key to ensure only healthcare staff have access to the medication syringe. Depending on the PCA pump, limits are set for certain medications to make sure the patient does not receive an unsafe amount per dose.

By Dani Vaughan PCA pumps are one of the many different types of infusion pumps on the market today. These pumps are commonly used in hospitals and clinics to help manage pain in their patients. Since pain medication is one of the most common drug types used in PCA pumps, ensuring the safety of the patient is extremely important.

When I plug the M1 Mac Mini to the OWC Hub with a Thunderbolt 4 cable (came with the Hub), macOS recognizes two external displays but route both HDMI and DisplayPort over USB-C signals to the same display - Monitor 2. Switching inputs on Monitor 2 shows the different macOS spaces of the same machine (the M1 Mac Mini). If I unplug the USB-C cable going to the Monitor 2 from the Hub, macOS reconfigures itself to route DisplayPort over USB-C to Monitor 1 and HDMI to Monitor 2 (this is the desired state). Plugging USB-C cable going to Monitor 2 back to the OWC Hub after that doesn't change the layout. When the MacBook Pro is plugged into the OWC Hub instead of the M1 Mac Mini, everything works as expected - the system recognizes and uses both monitors as external displays.

A Patient Controlled Analgesia pump module allows for the delivery of medication to a patient and also features the ability for the patient to receive bolus doses. At the press of a button, the medication is dosed at pre-determined levels to help the patient. Traditionally, PCA pumps have been used to help manage discomfort or pain in patients. Examples of applications include patients recovering from surgery, those suffering from chronic pain, or healing from a pain-inducing situation.
