1. A system comprising:
- a medical pump, wherein the medical pump is one of a series of medical pumps manufactured according to the same design and specifications;
a memory storing data indicating a measured volume of fluid delivered during a test of the medical pump to associate the pump with the measured volume;
a programmer including a user interface to receive a user input indicating a specified quantity of fluid to be transferred by the medical pump to a patient; and
a processor that generates a therapy control program for operating the medical pump based on the measured volume and the specified quantity of fluid to calibrate the therapy control program to the measured volume associated with the medical pump,wherein the medical pump has a non-adjustable fixed stroke length, and wherein the indication of the measured volume is an indication of a volume of fluid delivered per pump stroke of the medical pump.

Abstract
A method comprises measuring a volume of fluid delivered per pump stroke for each of a plurality of substantially identical medical pumps. The substantially identical medical pumps each have a fixed stroke length. The method further comprises: storing indications of the measured volumes on one or more data storage mediums; and for each of the plurality of substantially identical medical pumps, generating a separate therapy control program based on the indication of the measured volume associated with that one of the plurality of substantially identical medical pumps.
