Abstract
An infusion pump having a plurality of function keys which initiate different processes depending on the state of the infusion pump is disclosed. In the configuration state, the function keys operate to set the various configurable options with regard to the desired medication treatment parameters. In the infusing state, the function keys operate to transmit various operational data to a readout screen depending on the function key pressed. Essentially, multi-function, state dependent function keys operable on an infusion pump is disclosed.

17. A infusion pump comprising a plurality of function keys, at least one of said function keys upon activation transmits a signal to a central processor unit having an infusing state and a non-infusing state, wherein said signal activates a data transmission to a display while said central processor unit is an infusing state, and modifies one or more configuration settings recorded in said central processor unit and initiates a data transmission to said display when said central processor unit is in a non-infusing state.
