Abstract

A method of configuring an insulin infusion device includes receiving body weight information of a patient or total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient. The insulin infusion device is programmed for operation based on the received information and default rules.

Claims

1-5. -5. (canceled)

6. An insulin infusion start-up wizard, comprising:

an input device to receive body weight information of a patient and total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient;

a display to interface with the patient; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the input device and the display, to configure an insulin infusion device for operation based on the received information and default rules.

7. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate an insulin sensitivity factor (ISF) of the patient based on the total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient,

calculate an insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio of the patient based on the total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient,

calculate a basal rate of the patient based on the total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient, and

program the insulin infusion device using the insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and the basal rate calculated for the patient.

8. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 6, wherein the insulin infusion start-up wizard resides in the insulin infusion device.

9. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 6, wherein the insulin infusion start-up wizard resides in an infusion device controller.

10. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 6, wherein the insulin infusion start-up wizard resides in a computing device.

11-15. -15. (canceled)

16. An insulin infusion start-up wizard, comprising:

an input device to receive total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient;

a display to interface with the patient; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the input device and the display, to configure an insulin infusion device for operation based on the received information and default rules.

17. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to:

calculate an insulin sensitivity factor (ISF) of the patient based on the total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient,

calculate an insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio of the patient based on the total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient,

calculate a basal rate of the patient based on the total daily dose (TDD) information of the patient, and

program the insulin infusion device using the insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and the basal rate calculated for the patient.

18. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 16, wherein the insulin infusion start-up wizard resides in the insulin infusion device.

19. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 16, wherein the insulin infusion start-up wizard resides in an infusion device controller.

20. The insulin infusion start-up wizard of claim 16, wherein the insulin infusion start-up wizard resides in a computing device.
