1. A drug delivery safety system, comprising:
- an implantable infusion pump configured to facilitate Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) and including a medication reservoir for holding one or more medications; and
a programmer including a display and a communications device adapted to communicate with the implantable infusion pump, the programmer having access to a database of information comprising a list of clinician-approved medications and associated clinician-approved drug delivery protocols, the programmer being adapted toreceive and process a user input, andcontrol the display to provide a graphical user interface that prompts a user of the programmer to provide an additional user input when the user input requests a drug mixture containing at least one medication that is not already stored in the database as a clinician-approved medication.

Abstract
A drug delivery safety system includes a programmer with a display and a communications device adapted to communicate with an ambulatory medical device. The programmer has access to a database of information, and is adapted to receive and process the information and a user input and to control the display to provide a graphical user interface that prompts a user of the programmer to provide an additional user input when the user input requests a drug delivery protocol for the ambulatory medical device that is not already stored in the database as a clinician-approved drug delivery protocol.

40. A drug delivery safety system, comprising:
-
an implantable infusion pump containing a mixture of medications, the implantable infusion pump being configured to facilitate Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA); and a programmer including a display and a communications device adapted to communicate with an implantable drug pump, the programmer having access to a database of information comprising a list of clinician-approved medications and associated drug delivery protocols, the programmer being adapted to receive and process a user input and to control the display to provide a graphical user interface that prompts a user of the programmer to provide an additional user input when the user input requests a drug delivery protocol that is not already stored in the database as a clinician approved drug delivery protocol. - View Dependent Claims (41)

42. A drug delivery safety system, comprising:
-
an implantable infusion pump configured to facilitate Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) and including a medication reservoir for holding one or more medications; and a programmer including a display and a communications device adapted to communicate with the implantable infusion pump, the programmer having access to a database of information comprising a list of clinician-approved medications and associated drug delivery protocols, the programmer being adapted to receive and process a user input and to control the display to provide a warning or indication when the user input requests a refill of the medication reservoir with a drug mixture containing at least one medication that is not associated with a clinician-approved drug delivery protocol stored in the database.
