First Claim
Patent Images
1. A programming device for an implantable drug pump, the programming device comprising:
- a display device;
a communication device that facilitates a communication link between the programming device and an implantable drug pump; and
a controller that receives bolus data stored on the implantable drug pump when the communications link has been established, processes the bolus data, and controls the display device to generate visually distinct representations of numbers of successful bolus attempts and unsuccessful bolus attempts for multiple periodic time intervals, namely, periodic blocks or sections of time.

Abstract
A programming device for an implantable drug pump includes a display device, a communication device, and a controller. The communication device is adapted to facilitate a communication link between the programming device and an implantable drug pump. The controller adapted to receive bolus data stored on the implantable drug pump when the communications link has been established, to process the bolus data, and to control the display device to generate a visual representation of numbers of bolus attempts for multiple periodic time intervals.
