Determining vertical axis scale for implantable fluid delivery system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a device for programming a fluid delivery device, a therapeutic agent concentration, wherein the therapeutic agent concentration indicates a mass of a therapeutic agent per unit of volume of a fluid delivered by the fluid delivery device;
determining, by the device for programming the fluid delivery device, a maximum rate value of a vertical axis for display via a user interface of the device based on the received therapeutic agent concentration, wherein the vertical axis represents rates of delivery of the fluid by the fluid delivery device, wherein the maximum rate value includes a mass value, wherein determining the maximum rate value of the vertical axis based on the received therapeutic agent concentration comprises determining the mass value of the maximum rate value as a percent of the mass value indicated by the therapeutic agent concentration;
displaying, via the user interface, a horizontal axis and the vertical axis, wherein the horizontal axis represents time, and wherein the maximum rate value of the displayed vertical axis is determined to be less than a maximum therapeutic agent infusion rate; and
displaying an indication of a therapy dosing program for delivery of the therapeutic agent to a patient relative to the horizontal axis and the vertical axis to represent a rate of delivery of the therapeutic agent via the fluid delivery device to the patient over time.

Abstract
A device for programming an implantable fluid delivery device receives a therapeutic agent concentration, wherein the therapeutic agent concentration comprises a mass of the therapeutic agent per unit of volume. The device further determines a reference rate value based on the received therapeutic agent concentration, wherein the reference rate value comprises a mass per unit of time. The device additionally displays a graphical user interface comprising a horizontal axis and a vertical axis, wherein the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents rates of delivery of the fluid by the implantable fluid delivery device. The maximum value of the vertical axis displayed in the graphical user interface is determined based on the determined reference rate value and is determined to be less than a maximum therapeutic agent infusion rate.
