Medication delivery system and monitor
First Claim
1. A system for delivering medication, comprising:
- an infusion pump coupleable to a medication reservoir; and
a control system having an algorithm for controlling medication delivery by the infusion pump;
wherein the control system includes;
a plurality of medication delivery profiles for delivering a medication from the medication reservoir to a user including a basal profile and a square wave bolus profile or a dual wave bolus profile; and
a plurality of suspend functions capable of separately suspending at least one of the plurality of medication delivery profiles so that a user can suspend a first delivery profile that delivers a medication from the medication reservoir to a user while a second delivery profile continues to deliver the medication from the medication reservoir to the user.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the delivery and monitoring of a medication, such as insulin, to a recipient are provided. An exemplary feature-rich system comprises an infusion pump with a control system for controlling medication delivery by the infusion pump and a bolus estimator for estimating an appropriate amount of medication for delivery by the control system with the infusion pump. Estimating the appropriate amount of medication for delivery is based upon one or more settings which each vary according to a setting profile. In other embodiments, the control system comprises a suspend function for temporarily suspending medication delivery by the infusion pump, an alarm profile function for programming a variable alarm volume of the alarm and a simplified menu for controlling the dual wave bolus delivery function.

43. An infusion device for delivering a fluid from a reservoir to the body of a patient, the infusion device comprising:
-
a drive mechanism to deliver the fluid from the reservoir to the body of the patient; a processor including a control system for controlling delivery of the fluid; a memory to store two or more medication delivery profiles associated with the reservoir; an input device to allow the patient to command the processor; and a housing that houses at least a portion of the reservoir, at least a portion of the drive mechanism, the processor, the memory and at least a portion of the input device; wherein the control system controls fluid delivery from the reservoir in accordance with the two or more medication delivery profiles, such that the two or more medication delivery profiles can be used to deliver fluid at the same time, wherein the control system includes at least two suspend functions capable of separately suspending at least one of the two or more medication delivery profiles, such that fluid delivery continues in accordance with at least one of the two or more medication delivery profiles, wherein each of the at least two suspend functions may be used independently of the other of the at least two suspend functions so that a user can suspend a first delivery profile that delivers a fluid from the reservoir to a user while a second delivery profile continues to deliver the fluid from the reservoir to the user. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 96)
