First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical infusion pump comprising:
- a pump mechanism;
a memory configured to store one or more daily basal rate patterns for delivery by the pump and configured to store a real-time calendar that defines a current day of the week for each date on the calendar;
a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory and programmed to;
store one or more daily basal rate patterns in the pump;
associate one of the daily basal rate patterns with a day of the week;
determine whether day of the week matches the current day of the week for a current date of the calendar; and
automatically execute the daily basal rate pattern associated with the day of the week upon determining that the day of the week matches the current day of the week for the current date.
