USER INTERFACE FEATURE FOR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A medical system, comprising:
- (a) a monitoring unit, wherein the monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient;
(b) a drug delivery unit, wherein the drug delivery unit is in communication with the monitoring unit, wherein the drug delivery unit includes at least one integral volume of one or more drugs;
(c) a control logic configured to execute a safety shell control algorithm, wherein the control logic is in communication with the monitoring unit and the drug delivery unit, wherein the drug delivery unit is operable to regulate delivery of at least one of the one or more drugs to the patient from the integral volume based on data associated with the at least one physiological parameter of the patient in accordance with the safety shell control algorithm; and
(d) a user interface feature in communication with the control logic, wherein the user interface feature is operable to receive input indicating administration of an external drug to the patient, wherein the safety shell control algorithm is configured to respond to inputs received through the user interface feature indicating administration of an external drug to the patient.

Abstract
A medical system includes a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit. The monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The drug delivery unit includes an integral volume of a drug. A control logic is in communication with the monitoring unit and the drug delivery unit and is operable to regulate delivery of the drug to the patient from the integral volume, based on data associated with the at least one physiological parameter of the patient, in accordance with a safety shell control algorithm. A user interface feature is operable to receive input indicating administration of an external drug to the patient. The safety shell control algorithm responds to inputs received through the user interface feature indicating administration of an external drug to the patient, such as by modifying subsequent drug delivery regulation based on the administration of the external drug.

20. A method of operating a medical system, wherein the medical system comprises a monitoring unit and a drug delivery unit, wherein the monitoring unit is operable to monitor at least one physiological parameter of a patient, wherein the drug delivery unit includes an integral volume of one or more drugs, wherein the drug delivery unit is operable to deliver at least one of the one or more drugs to the patient from the integral volume, based at least in part on data associated with the at least one physiological parameter, the method comprising:
-
(a) monitoring the at least one physiological parameter of the patient based on data from the monitoring unit; (b) regulating drug delivery by the drug delivery unit in accordance with a first safety shell control algorithm routine, wherein the first safety shell control algorithm routine is based at least in part on patient physiological parameter data from the monitoring unit; (c) receiving input indicating delivery of an external drug to the patient; and (d) regulating drug delivery by the drug delivery unit in accordance with a second safety shell control algorithm routine, wherein the second safety shell control algorithm routine is based at least in part on patient physiological parameter data from the monitoring unit and the input indicating delivery of an external drug to the patient.
