Medication delivery system and monitor
First Claim
1. A system for delivering medication, comprising:
- an infusion pump;
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, wherein;
estimating the appropriate amount of medication for delivery is based upon one or more settings that include insulin sensitivity and vary according to one or more setting profiles that can be set by a user to vary according to a daily schedule;
the control system controls medication delivery according to one or more medication delivery profiles comprising the appropriate amount of medication estimated by the bolus estimator; and
the setting profile is entered with a graphical programming interface that includes a series of discrete divisions, each having a setting value and the setting profile is programmed by adjusting the setting value of selected ones of the discrete divisions in sequence such that any setting value of each prior discrete division is unchanged and any setting value of each subsequent discrete division is automatically adjusted to the value the selected ones of the discrete divisions.

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.
