Programmable medical infusion pump
First Claim
1. A method of programming an ambulatory infusion pump from a computer, the ambulatory infusion pump programmed to execute a delivery program, the delivery program being driven by operating parameters, the method comprising:
- generating a table on the computer, the table containing a row, the row having a plurality of cells, each cell in the row relating to a different operating parameter for the delivery program;
entering an operating parameter into at least one of the cells; and
downloading the operating parameters into the pump.

Abstract
A method of programming an ambulatory infusion pump from a computer. The ambulatory infusion pump is programmed to execute a delivery program, and the delivery program is driven by operating parameters. The method comprises generating a table on the computer, the table containing a row, the row having a plurality of cells, each cell in the row relating to a different operating parameter for the delivery program; entering an operating parameter into at least one of the cells; and downloading the operating parameters into the pump.

8. A method of operating a pump, the pump having a memory and a pump mechanism, the method comprising:
-
receiving from a computer, a plurality of data sets, each data set containing a plurality of operating parameters;
storing the plurality of data sets in memory;
selecting one of the plurality of data sets; and
running a delivery program wherein the delivery program executes the operating parameters in the selected one of the plurality of data sets, the operating parameters defining a delivery schedule for controlling the pump mechanism.

9. An apparatus for programming an infusion pump, the pump programmed to execute a delivery program, the delivery program programmed to process operating parameters, the operating parameters defining operating of the pump, the apparatus comprising:
-
a data port;
a data entry device; and
a processor in data communication with the data port and the data entry device, the processor programmed to (a) generate a table, the table containing a row, the row having a plurality of cells, each cell in the row relating to a different operating parameter for the delivery program;
(b) receive data from the data entry device and display the data in one or more of the cells; and
(c) download the operating parameters displayed in the cells to the infusion pump. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A method of operating an infusion pump for delivering a therapeutic agent into the body of a user, the infusion pump being programmable and including memory, the infusion pump being programmed to run a delivery program, the delivery program controlling the infusion pump to deliver the therapeutic agent according to a delivery schedule, the method comprising:
-
storing a data set in the memory, the data set including a set of operating parameters defining a delivery schedule, at least one of the operating parameters being a uniquely identifying name;
selecting the uniquely identifying name thereby assigning the set of operating parameters identified by the uniquely identifying name to the delivery program; and
running the delivery program, the delivery program executing the set of operating parameters thereby controlling the infusion pump to deliver the therapeutic agent according to the delivery schedule defined by the set of operating parameters. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An infusion pump comprising:
-
a pump mechanism;
memory storing a data set, the data set including a set of operating parameters defining a delivery schedule, at least one of the operating parameters being a uniquely identifying name; and
a processor arranged to control the pump mechanism and in data communication with the memory, the processor being programmed to assign the set of operating parameters to the delivery program upon selection of the uniquely identifying name and to execute the set of operating parameters thereby controlling the pump mechanism to deliver the therapeutic agent according to the delivery schedule. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
