Abstract

Disclosed is a method of configuring a medical device through utilization of a computing device that includes a user interface, a processor and memory. The method includes the steps of determining whether a configuration file contains a focal modified parameter, displaying the focal modified parameter, prompting a manual re-entry of the displayed focal modified parameter, receiving through the user interface the manual re-entry of the displayed focal modified parameter, and utilizing the processor to automatically determine whether the manual re-entry of the displayed focal modified parameter matches the displayed focal modified parameter.

Claims

1. A method of configuring an insulin pump through utilization of a glucose meter that includes a user interface, a processor and memory, the method comprising:

receiving in the glucose meter memory a configuration file with one or more modified parameters, wherein the modified parameters includes hourly basal rates, maximum hourly basal rates, maximum daily basal rates, bolus dose settings, communication settings, battery settings, and language setting;

establishing communication between the insulin pump and the glucose meter;

utilizing the glucose meter processor to automatically;

read the configuration file from memory, determine whether the configuration file contains modified parameters and whether any of the modified parameters determined to be contained in the configuration file are focal, wherein the modified parameters are focal if the modified parameters relate to insulin dosage rates which include any of the modified parameter to the hourly basal rates, the maximum hourly basal rates, the maximum daily basal rates, and the bolus dose settings,

display the entire configuration file with the modified parameters highlighted on the glucose meter user interface,

prompt a confirmation of the displayed and highlighted modified parameters only once when the displayed and highlighted modified parameters are not focal which include any of the modified parameters to the communication settings, the battery settings, and the language setting;

receiving through the glucose meter user interface the confirmation of the displayed and highlighted modified parameters that are not focal;

utilizing the glucose meter processor to automatically;

prompt a manual re-entry of a displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter a second time when the displayed and highlighted modified parameter is focal;

receiving through the glucose meter user interface the manual re-entry of the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter that is focal;

utilizing the glucose meter processor to automatically;

determine whether the manual re-entry of the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter matches the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter, and

designate the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter as valid if the manual re-entry of the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter matches the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter, otherwise prompt for another manual re-entry of the displayed and highlighted focal modified parameter or a change to the configuration file; and

utilizing the glucose meter processor to automatically;

store the configuration file in memory of the insulin pump once every determined focal modified parameter has been designated valid.

2. A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a processor of a computing device that is disposed on or within a glucose meter to cause the processor to perform the method steps of claim 1.

3. A system for configuring a medical device including:

a computing device that includes a user interface, a processor and memory, wherein the computing device is disposed on or within a glucose meter; and

software stored in memory for execution by the computing device, the software facilitating a workflow including the method steps of claim 1.
