1. A method for temporarily adjusting a delivery rate of fluid from an infusion device, comprising:
- prompting a user to select one of at least two options for a temporary basal rate type, the at least two options including a variable percentage of a basal rate and a fixed percentage of a basal rate, wherein the variable percentage remains at a substantially uniform percentage of the basal rate as it varies and the fixed percentage is a percentage of a constant value, the constant value being a current basal rate at or about the instant the fixed percentage is selected;
receiving into an infusion device the temporary basal rate type;
receiving into the infusion device a temporary basal rate in accordance to the temporary basal rate type; and
delivering a fluid at a delivery rate substantially equal to the temporary basal rate.

Abstract
A system and method of temporarily adjusting a delivery of fluid or medications to a user from an infusion device that provides various delivery customizations, and may include a user interface. The user interface may provide access to a menu from which users can select specific delivery options appropriate for different times and situations.

12. A method for temporarily adjusting the delivery rate of an infusion device, comprising:
-
inputting into an infusion device, configured to deliver a fluid at a basal rate, a selection of one of at least two options for a temporary basal rate type, the at least two options including a variable percentage of a basal rate and a fixed percentage of a basal rate, wherein the variable percentage remains at a substantially uniform percentage of the basal rate as it varies and the fixed percentage is a percentage of a constant value, the constant value being a current basal rate at or about the instant the fixed percentage is selected;
inputting a temporary basal rate in accordance to the temporary basal rate type into the infusion device; and
inputting an execution command into the infusion device, wherein in response to receiving the execution command the infusion device begin a program to deliver the fluid at a delivery rate substantially equal to the temporary basal rate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for temporarily adjusting a delivery rate of fluid, comprising:
-
an infusion device including a housing, a reservoir in the housing that contains a fluid, a drive system that forces the fluid from the reservoir, and a user interface on the housing that prompts a user to select one of at least two options for a temporary basal rate type over a period of time, the at least two options including a variable percentage of a basal rate and a fixed percentage of a basal rate, wherein the variable percentage remains at a substantially uniform percentage of the basal rate as it varies and the fixed percentage is a percentage of a constant value, the constant value being a current basal rate at or about the instant the fixed percentage is selected;
a processor in communication with the drive system to regulate a rate at which the driving system forces the fluid from the reservoir by processing one or more basal patterns, the temporary basal rate, and the temporary basal rate type; and
a memory in communication with the processor to store the one or more basal patterns, the temporary basal rate, and the temporary basal rate type. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. An infusion device for administration of a fluid, comprising:
-
a housing;
a reservoir in the housing that contains a fluid;
a drive system that forces the fluid from the reservoir; and
a user interface on the housing that prompts a user to select one of at least two options for a temporary basal rate type over a period of time, the at least two options including a variable percentage of a basal rate and a fixed percentage of a basal rate, wherein the variable percentage remains at a substantially uniform percentage of the basal rate as it varies and the fixed percentage is a percentage of a constant value, the constant value being a current basal rate at or about the instant the fixed percentage is selected. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
