Abstract:
1. A system for delivering medication, comprising: an infusion pump; 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, wherein estimating the appropriate amount of medication for delivery is based upon one or more settings which each vary according to a setting profile and wherein: the setting profile for at least one of the one or more settings includes a value which varies according to a schedule; and the setting profile is entered with a graphical programming interface that includes a series of discrete divisions, each having a setting value and the setting profile is programmed by adjusting the setting value of selected ones of the discrete divisions in sequence such that any setting value of each prior discrete division is unchanged and any setting value of each subsequent discrete division is automatically adjusted to the value of the selected ones of the discrete divisions.
