First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for implementing a medical system algorithm by an authorized medical caregiver, the steps of the method comprising:
- providing a context free grammar to define the medical system algorithm, the grammar comprising non-terminal parameter symbols and terminal parameter symbols that are configured to be satisfied by a plurality of non-terminal medical system parameters and terminal medical system parameters, respectively, the grammar further comprising non-terminal condition symbols and terminal condition symbols that are configured to be satisfied by a plurality of nonterminal medical system conditions and terminal medical system conditions, respectively, the grammar further comprising a response symbol that is configured to be satisfied by a plurality of medical system responses;
receiving a first parameter selection comprising at least of one of the non-terminal parameters or at least one of the terminal parameters, defined by the grammar;
receiving a respective first medical system condition selection corresponding to the at least one of the non-terminal parameter symbol or terminal parameter symbol for the selected first parameter selection defined by the grammar;
receiving a medical system response selection;
generating the medical system algorithm from the first parameter selection, the first medical system condition selection, and the medical system response selection; and
storing the generated medical system algorithm for later use by an automated medical device.
