Abstract:
1. A medical system, comprising: a) an ambulatory medical device (MD) comprising MD electronic control circuitry that further comprises at least one MD telemetry system and at least one MD processor that controls, at least in part, operation of the MD telemetry system and operation of the medical device, wherein the medical device is configured to provide a treatment to a body of a patient or to monitor a selected state of the body; and b) a communication device (CD) comprising CD electronic control circuitry that further comprises at least one CD telemetry system and at least one CD processor that controls, at least in part, operation of the CD telemetry system and operation of the communication device, wherein the CD telemetry system sends messages to or receives messages from the MD telemetry system, wherein the medical device comprises a reservoir capable of containing an infusion media and a pumping mechanism for transferring the infusion media from the reservoir to the body of the patient, wherein the communication device is programmed with at least two quantities relating to at least two amounts of infusion media delivery, wherein the medical device is configured to deliver the infusion media by generating a number of pump strokes of the pumping mechanism to transfer a volume of infusion media that corresponds to the simultaneous delivery of the at least two amounts; wherein the at least two quantities represent volumes of the infusion media to be delivered; and wherein the medical device generates a number of pump strokes to cause a net volume of infusion media to be delivered that is equal to the sum of the at least two quantities.
