Infusion device menu structure and method of using the same
First Claim
1. A portable infusion system that is programmable by an individual for delivering fluid from a reservoir into a user, the infusion system comprising:
- a drive mechanism that forces the fluid out of the reservoir;
an input device that accepts one or more inputs;
a processor that uses one or more of the one or more inputs to control the drive mechanism; and
a display that receives information from the processor and visually displays one or more screens containing the information, wherein at least one of the one or more screens includes a menu with at least two menu items, and wherein the input device is used to select one menu item from amongst the at least two menu items.

Abstract
A portable infusion system that is programmable by an individual for delivering fluid from a reservoir into a user includes a drive mechanism, an input device, a processor, and a display. The drive mechanism forces the fluid out of the reservoir, and the input device accepts one or more inputs. The processor uses one or more of the one or more inputs to control the drive mechanism. The display receives information from the processor and visually displays one or more screens containing the information. At least one of the one or more screens includes a menu with at least two menu items, and the input device is used to select one menu item from amongst the at least two menu items.

42. A method of programming an infusion device which includes a reservoir containing fluid for delivery into a user, a drive mechanism to force fluid from the reservoir, an input device that accepts inputs from the user, wherein the input device includes one or more keys including an escape key, a processor that uses control parameters to control the drive mechanism, wherein the control parameters may be changed through inputs from the user, and a display that receives information from the processor and visually displays screens containing the information for the user to see, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating one or more menus;
accessing the one or more menus;
selecting a menu item from at least one of the one or more menus to access a set screen;
modifying a control parameter displayed on the set screen; and
either accepting the modification to the control parameter and exiting the set screen, or pressing the escape key to exit the set screen without accepting the modification to the control parameter.
