Abstract
An apparatus for maintaining a library of program data for medical pumps, the apparatus comprising: memory loaded with a database, the database including a plurality of program data records and a plurality of data key records, each program data record containing a set of program data items, at least some of the program data items included in the database for controlling operation of a medical pump, each data key record containing a data key and each data key identifying one of the data program records; a database management system programmed to link a data key to a set of program data; and a scanner in data communication with the database management system, the database management system being further programmed to receive a code scanned by the scanner, save the code in a data key record, and link the code to a set of program data, the code being a data key.

21. A medical infusion pump, comprising:
-
a pump mechanism adapted to pump fluid to a patient; a user interface including an input and a display; a processor operably connected to the pump mechanism and the user interface, the processor configured to; prompt a user to enter a clinician code at the user interface; receive an entered code response to the prompt at the user interface; display a clinician bolus function on the user interface if the entered code matches a stored clinician code; receive a bolus amount for a clinician bolus through the user interface; and cause the pump mechanism to deliver bolus amount. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method of delivering a bolus to a patient with a medical infusion pump, comprising:
-
receiving through a user interface of a medical infusion pump a selection of a clinician bolus function; prompting a user to enter a clinician code at the user interface; receiving through the user interface an entered clinician code in response to the prompt; determining whether the entered clinician code matches a stored clinician code; displaying a clinician bolus function on the user interface if the entered code matches the stored clinician code; receiving in the clinician bolus function a bolus amount for a clinician bolus through the user interface; and causing the pump mechanism to deliver the bolus amount. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method of allowing access to a medical infusion pump, comprising:
-
storing a clinician bolus code in a memory of a medical infusion pump, the clinician bolus code enterable to provide clinician access to a clinician bolus function of the medical infusion pump; receiving through a user interface of the medical infusion pump a selection of the clinician bolus function; prompting a user to enter a clinician bolus code at the user interface; receiving through the user interface an entered clinician bolus code in response to the prompt; determining whether the entered clinician bolus code matches the stored clinician bolus code; displaying a clinician bolus function on the user interface if the entered clinician bolus code matches the stored clinician bolus code. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
