User Interface for Delivery System Providing Graphical Programming of Profile
First Claim
1. A user input device (1) for programming a parameter profile (62) for a drug delivery system, comprising:
- display means (30) adapted to graphically display a parameter profile (62) showing a parameter value as a function of time, the profile comprising at least one segment, each segment indicating a period of time and an associated parameter value, each segment having a starting point of time and an ending point of time, the display means being adapted to show an indicator arranged corresponding to a given parameter value for a given point of time,first user input means (13, 14) allowing a user to move the indicator corresponding to a desired point of time, andsecond user input means (11, 12) allowing a user to move the indicator corresponding to a desired parameter value,whereby the user graphically can draw a continuous profile for a desired period of time by moving the indicator on the display corresponding to the desired period of time, the drawn profile graphically displaying the infusion profile.

Abstract
The invention provides a delivery system comprising a reservoir and an expelling assembly to expel drug out of the resorvoir. The system further comprises a display for graphically displaying a profile showing a first parameter as a function of a second parameter, the profile comprising at least one segment, each segment indicating an interval for the second parameter and an associated value for the first parameter, wherein each segment has a starting and an ending value for the first parameter. The display further shows an indicator arranged corresponding to a given value for the second parameter. User input means is provided allowing a user (i) to move the indicator corresponding to a desired value for the second parameter for the displayed profile, and (ii) to adjust the first parameter for a segment defined by the actual position of the indicator and an adjacent starting or ending point for a neighbouring segment.
