Medication delivery system and monitor
First Claim
1. A system for delivering medication, comprising:
- an infusion pump including a dual wave bolus delivery function; and
a control system for controlling medication delivery by the infusion pump;
wherein the control system includes a simplified menu for controlling the dual wave bolus delivery function,wherein the simplified menu includes entry of a total medication volume, the entry being divided by a preset ratio into a first wave bolus and a second wave bolus that forms the dual wave bolus,wherein the first wave bolus is delivered before the second wave bolus; and
wherein the control system further includes a conventional menu for controlling the dual wave bolus delivery function and the simplified menu and the conventional menu are alternately selected.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the delivery and monitoring of a medication, such as insulin, to a recipient are provided. An exemplary feature-rich system comprises an infusion pump with a control system for controlling medication delivery by the infusion pump and a bolus estimator for estimating an appropriate amount of medication for delivery by the control system with the infusion pump. Estimating the appropriate amount of medication for delivery is based upon one or more settings which each vary according to a setting profile. In other embodiments, the control system comprises a suspend function for temporarily suspending medication delivery by the infusion pump, an alarm profile function for programming a variable alarm volume of the alarm and a simplified menu for controlling the dual wave bolus delivery function.

13. A medical device for delivering fluid to a patient, the medical device comprising:
-
a control system to control fluid delivery from the medical device; and a bolus delivery feature coupled to the control system to allow the patient to deliver a bolus of fluid with the medical device, wherein the control system divides the bolus by a predefined ratio to create an immediate portion of the bolus and a delayed portion of the bolus, wherein the immediate portion of the bolus is delivered immediately after the patient uses the bolus delivery feature to deliver the bolus, wherein the delayed portion of the bolus is delivered after the immediate portion of the bolus is delivered. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
