Patent ID: 7569030

Claim:
An infusion pump system for use in delivery of an infusion formulation, the system comprising: a pump for delivering measured doses of an infusion formulation; a sensing device for sensing a biological state; a computing element communicating with the sensing device, the computing element being programmed to receive information about the sensed biological state from the sensing device and to regulate the delivery of the infusion formulation in accordance with the received information; and a communication device communicating with the computing element, the communication device for communicating a user-initiated event signal to the computing element, the user-initiated event signal being representative of an event affecting the sensed biological state; wherein the computing element is further programmed to determine whether an amount of the delivery of the infusion formulation is outside of a user basal range and, upon determining that the amount is outside of the user basal range, to receive the user-initiated event signal and initiate a variation in the delivery of the infusion formulation in accordance with the received user-initiated signal.
