Abstract
A system and process for providing safety limits on the delivery of an infusion formulation by an infusion pump system in response to a sensed biological state. The safety limits may comprise user-initiated event signals corresponding to events that may significantly affect the biological state. The safety limits may further comprise user-initiated event ranking signals for respective events which specify a degree, quantity, or measure for the respective event. The user-initiated event and event ranking signals may be communicated to a computing element associated with the infusion pump by an associated communication device having a user interface which comprises a plurality of user-selectable operators for entering information about the events and event rankings.

37. A process for providing safety limits on the delivery of infusion formulation by an infusion pump system in response to a sensed biological state, comprising:
-
monitoring a biological state; providing information about the biological state to a computing element, the computing element being programmed to regulate the delivery of the infusion formulation in accordance with the information; and communicating a user-initiated event signal to the computing element, the user-initiated event signal being representative of an event affecting the biological state; wherein the computing element is further programmed to receive the user-initiated event signal and initiate a variation in the delivery of the infusion formulation in accordance with the received user-initiated signal. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
