SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAXIMUM INSULIN PUMP BOLUS OVERRIDE
First Claim
1. An ambulatory infusion pump, comprising:
- a delivery mechanism adapted to facilitate delivery of insulin to a user;
a user interface adapted to display operating parameters of the delivery mechanism and to receive input data from a user;
a memory adapted to store a maximum bolus limit defining a maximum bolus amount a user is allowed to enter into the user interface for delivery by the delivery mechanism; and
a processor operably connected to the delivery mechanism, user interface and memory, the processor adapted to execute a maximum bolus override procedure when input data from the user requests a bolus amount greater than the maximum bolus amount, the maximum bolus override procedure comprising;
providing an alert, indicating that the bolus amount in the request exceeds the maximum bolus limit;
receiving a confirmation of the request in response to the alert; and
causing the delivery mechanism to deliver the bolus amount to the user in response to the confirmation.

Abstract
An ambulatory infusion pump can include a maximum bolus override procedure. When a bolus amount greater than a maximum bolus amount is requested, the pump can provide an alert indicating that the amount requested exceeds the maximum bolus amount. If the user confirms the request in response to the alert, the bolus amount can be delivered to the user. The amount delivered in response to the confirmation can be a first portion of the bolus amount. A reminder can then be provided that a second portion of the bolus amount that is a remaining portion of the requested bolus amount was also requested. If a second confirmation is received in response to the alert, the second portion of the bolus amount can also delivered to the user.

13. An ambulatory infusion pump, comprising:
-
a delivery mechanism adapted to facilitate delivery of insulin to a user; a user interface adapted to display operating parameters of the delivery mechanism and to receive input data from a user; a memory adapted to store a maximum bolus limit defining a maximum bolus amount a user is allowed to enter into the user interface for delivery by the delivery mechanism; and a processor operably connected to the delivery mechanism, user interface and memory, the processor adapted to execute a maximum bolus override procedure when input data from the user requests a bolus amount greater than the maximum bolus amount, the maximum bolus override procedure comprising; providing an alert on the user interface indicating that the bolus amount in the request exceeds the maximum bolus limit; receiving a confirmation of the request in response to the alert through the user interface; causing the delivery mechanism to deliver a first portion of the bolus amount to the user in response to the confirmation; after the first portion of the bolus amount is delivered to the user, providing a reminder on the user interface that a second portion of the bolus amount comprising a remainder of the bolus amount was requested; receiving a second confirmation through the user interface to deliver the second portion of the bolus amount; and causing the delivery mechanism to deliver the second portion of the bolus amount to the user in response to the second confirmation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of overriding a maximum bolus limit in an ambulatory infusion pump, comprising:
-
storing a maximum bolus limit defining a maximum bolus amount a user is allowed to enter into a user interface of the infusion pump for delivery by a delivery mechanism of the ambulatory infusion pump; receiving input data from the user interlace requesting a bolus amount greater than the maximum bolus amount; providing an alert indicating that, the bolus amount in the request exceeds the maximum bolus limit; receiving a confirmation of the request in response to the alert; and causing the delivery mechanism to deliver the bolus amount to the user in response to the confirmation. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
