Patent Images
1. A method of managing basal rate profiles for use on an insulin pump, including the steps of:
- storing a file containing data corresponding to a basal rate profile for use by an insulin pump;
generating a thumbnail image including a graphical representation of the profile;
without opening the file to access the data, simultaneously displaying a file indicator associated with the file and the thumbnail image;
determining based on the graphical representation of the thumbnail image whether to access the data; and
opening the file to access the data in response to an operator'"'"'s selection of the profile represented by the thumbnail image.

Abstract
Insulin pump programming software is disclosed that generates thumbnail images of basal rate profile data contained in source files and displays the images to permit an operator to select the desired profile data without opening the source files. The software also permits the operator to verify changes to pump profiles before programming the pump by displaying thumbnail images of the current pump profile and the new pump profile.

13. A method of programming basal rate profiles for use on an insulin pump, including the steps of:
-
retrieving a source file including data corresponding to a first basal rate profile for use by an insulin pump; generating a first thumbnail image including a graphical representation of the first profile; and replacing a target file on an insulin pump corresponding to a second basal rate profile with the source file; wherein the replacing step includes the step of displaying the first thumbnail image with a second thumbnail image including a graphical representation of the second profile to permit an operator to review differences between the images and provide an input confirming a desire to complete the replacing step. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a computing device to perform method steps for programming insulin pumps, the method steps including:
-
generating a first thumbnail image including a graphical representation of basal rate profile data contained in a source file; without opening the source file to access the data, displaying the first thumbnail image; opening the source file to access the data in response to an operator'"'"'s selection of the first thumbnail image; and replacing basal rate profile data contained in a target file stored on a pump with the data represented by the first thumbnail image; wherein the replacing step includes the step of displaying the first thumbnail image with a second thumbnail image including a graphical representation of the basal rate data contained in the target file to permit the operator to review differences between the images. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A system for programming an insulin pump, including:
-
means for generating a first thumbnail image including a graphical representation of basal rate profile data contained in a source file; means for displaying the first thumbnail image without opening the source file to access the data; means for accessing the data in response to an operator'"'"'s selection of the first thumbnail image; and means for replacing basal rate profile data contained in a target file stored on a pump with the data represented by the first thumbnail image; wherein the replacing means includes means for displaying the first thumbnail image with a second thumbnail image including a graphical representation of the basal rate data contained in the target file to permit the operator to review differences between the images.
