Abstract
An infusion pump for delivering medicament to a user. The pump comprises a pump mechanism, a memory and a processor The processor can be programmed to generate an alarm signal based on various determinations. For example, a delivery limit alarm can be issued when it is determined that an amount of medicament delivered with the pump mechanism within a predetermined length of time exceeds a medicament delivery limit amount. Alternatively or in addition, a low cartridge reservoir alert can be issued in response to determining that medicament remaining in a reservoir is equal to a value stored in memory.

- The present invention relates to insulin pumps, and more particularly, to insulin pumps having a missed meal bolus alarm.
- A large portion of the world's population suffers from diabetes. Many of these people need to take injections of insulin to normalize the level of sugar in their bodies to prevent complications. Such complications can include kidney failure, loss of circulation, and blindness. The need to manually take injections with a syringe and the process of determining the dose for various shots can be a great inconvenience and can limit a diabetic's activities and restrict their movements. Furthermore, it can be difficult to maintain a consistent level of blood glucose because there is a practical limit to the number of injections that most patients can receive.
- One solution to reduce some of the problems associated with the manual injection of insulin is an ambulatory pump that delivers insulin to the diabetic user. Such insulin pumps can provide a more consistently normal level of blood glucose, which reduces the risk of complications from diabetes. However, current pumps still have practical limits to their programming that make them cumbersome to program and that limits the potential of the pump to provide even greater control over blood glucose levels.
- One aspect of the present invention is a method of operating an insulin pump. The insulin pump is configured to selectively deliver a meal bolus. The method comprises entering into the pump a start time for an interval; entering into the pump an end time for the interval; and generating an alarm signal if a meal bolus is not delivered during the interval.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a pump for delivering insulin to a user. The pump comprises a pump mechanism and a meal-bolus program module. The meal-bolus program module is programmed to control the pump mechanism to deliver a meal bolus. An alarm program module is in data communication with the alarm, the timer, and the meal-bolus program module. The alarm module is programmed to generate an alarm signal when the meal-bolus program module does not control the pump mechanism to deliver a meal bolus within a predetermined period of time.

Reference to various embodiments does not limit the scope of the invention, which is limited only by the scope of the claims attached hereto. Additionally, any examples set forth in this specification are not intended to be limiting and merely set forth some of the many possible embodiments for the claimed invention.
- The logical operations of the various embodiments of the invention described herein are implemented as: (1) a sequence of computer implemented steps, operations, or procedures running on a programmable circuit within a computer, (2) a sequence of computer implemented steps, operations, or procedures running on a programmable circuit within a pump for delivering insulin; and/or (3) interconnected machine modules or program engines within the programmable circuits.
- The various embodiments execute or utilize operating parameters, which customize or personalize operation of the computer implemented steps, machine modules, and programs to meet the requirements of individual pump users. The operating parameters can be numerical values, text strings, flags, argument names, or any other aspect of the insulin pump programming that the user can set to control operation of the pump.
- Additionally, the pump generates and presents information and fields in user interfaces, which are also referred to as displays. The user interfaces can include fields, alpha/numeric character strings, times, and dates. The fields, also referred to as cells, prompt users to enter and/or select information. Because there is not an alpha/numeric keyboard on the pump, each of the field is associated with a spin box that includes values the user can enter into the field. The user spins or scrolls through values until the desired value is visible within the field. When the user selects the visible value it is entered into the field. The user selects a value with a Next function, Edit function, or Select function as identified herein. When the pump displays a field and the field has focus, it is said to prompt the user to select a value. Additionally, selecting a value in a field causes the pump to index focus to the next field as defined by the programmed operations or to display the next user interface as defined by the programmed operations. In an alternative embodiment, the pump has an alpha/numeric keyboard from which operating parameters can be typed directly into the pump.
- The description set forth herein discusses pumping insulin. One skilled in the art will realize that many of the features, structures, and methods disclosed herein can be used with medical infusion pumps for delivering agents other than insulin. The term “user” generally applies to the person who is receiving insulin from the pump. In many contexts, however, the user could also refer to any other person such as a caregiver that is operating the pump.
-
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating one of many possible embodiments of an insulin pump, generally identified as 100. A microprocessor 102 is in electrical communication with and controls a pump motor 104, a screen 106, anaudible alarm 108, and avibratory alarm 110. Other embodiments can use a microcomputer, or any other type of programmable circuit, in place of the microprocessor. - The pump motor 104 drives a
drive mechanism 112 that pushes aplunger mechanism 114. Theplunger mechanism 114 ejects insulin from an insulin cartridge (not shown). The insulin cartridge contains a supply of insulin for delivery to a patient. These mechanical components are illustrated and discussed in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/086,646, entitled Cartridge and Pump With Axial Loading, the disclosure of which was hereby incorporated by reference above. - The screen 106 can have many different configurations such as an LCD screen. As explained in more detail herein, the screen 106 displays a user interface that presents various items of information useful to a patient or caregiver. The
audible alarm 108 is a beeper, and an alarm provides actual alarms, warnings, and reminders. Similar to other portable electronic devices such as a cellular telephone, thevibratory alarm 110 provides an alarm to either supplement the audio alarms or replace the audio alarm when an audible beep would be disruptive or not heard. A user can selectively enable or disable the audible 108 and vibratory 110 alarms. In one possible embodiment, however, both the audible 108 and vibratory 110 alarms cannot be disabled at the same time. - The microprocessor 102 is in electrical communication with both a random access memory (RAM) 116 and a read only memory (ROM) 118, which are onboard the
pump 100 but external to the microprocessor 102 itself. In one possible embodiment, the microprocessor 102 includes internal memory as well. TheRAM 116 is a static RAM stores that data that can change over time such as pump settings and a historical log of events experienced by theinsulin pump 100. The ROM 118 stores code for the operating system and the application programs. The ROM 118 can be any type of programmable ROM such as an EPROM. In one possible embodiment, theRAM 116 has 500 kilobytes of memory capacity and the ROM 118 has 2 megabytes of memory capacity. - An infrared (IR)
port 120 is in electrical communication with the microprocessor. As explained in more detail below, theIR port 120 provides data communication with an external device such as a computer for programming an application program, programming pump settings, and downloading historical data logs. Theinsulin pump 100 can include other types of communication ports in place of or in addition to theIR port 120. Examples of other possible communication ports include a radio frequency (RF) port or a port that provides a hard-wired data communication link such as an RS-232 port, a USB port, or the like. - A real-time clock 122 provides a clock signal to the microprocessor 102. An advantage of having a real-time clock 122 is that it provides the program with the actual time in real-time so that the programs executed by the insulin pump can track and control the actual time of day that insulin delivery and other events occur. Various durations described here are used for alerts, alarms, reminders, and other functions. In one possible embodiment, the timers are formed by the real-time clock 122 and software executed by the microprocessor 102.
- A
keypad 124 also provides input to the microprocessor 102. Although other possible types of keypads are possible, one type of keypad has four buttons and is a membrane-type of keypad, which provides resistance to water and other environmental conditions. Thekeypad 124 contains soft keys for which the function of the keys can change as a user executes different menu selections and commands. - Other inputs into the microprocessor 102 include a
pressure sensor 126, which is sensitive to the pressure within a reservoir of insulin; a cartridge sensor 128, which is sensitive to the presence of an insulin cartridge; and amotion detector 130, which detects motion of a gear (not shown) in thedrive mechanism 112. Thepressure sensor 126, cartridge sensor 128, andmotion detector 130 are described in more detail in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/086,646, which is entitled Cartridge and Pump With Axial Loading, the disclosure of which was incorporated by reference above. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , thepump 100 is packaged in ahousing 132. Thekeypad 124 is positioned on a first portion of thehousing 132, and the screen 106 is positioned on a second portion of thehousing 132. Additionally, the screen 106 has two portions, adisplay portion 134 and a template portion 136. A user interface is presented in thedisplay portion 134 of the screen 106. - The template portion 136 provides a template that indicates the function assigned to each of the keys on the keypad. In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the
keypad 124 has afirst function key 138 and asecond function key 140, and an upkey 142 and a down key 144. The up and downkeys 142 and 144 are for scrolling or spinning through operating parameters that are presented in a spin box associated with a field or between pages present within a user interface such as the home pages as described below. Additionally, afirst portion 146 in the template identifies the function assigned to thefirst function key 138, and a second portion 148 identifies the function assigned to thesecond function key 140. A center portion 150 of the template presents an up arrow corresponding to the scroll direction of the upkey 142, and a down arrow corresponding to the scroll direction of the down key 144. - In one possible embodiment, the
insulin pump 100 is controlled by a menu-driven application program that is stored in the ROM 118 and executed by the processor 102. The application program also is parameter-driven in that the outcome or steps executed by the various application programs depend on the operating parameters set by the user. Examples of outcomes and steps that depend on the operating parameters include delivery rates, delivery schedules, delivery amounts, the generation and presentation of menus, and the like. - The application program presents a
home page 152 in thedisplay portion 134 of the screen 106. Thehome page 152 includes afirst icon 154 that illustrates the amount of insulin remaining in the insulin cartridge. Thisfirst icon 154 has the shape of a syringe and a bar 156 arranged relative to the syringe shape to illustrate the amount of remaining insulin. The amount of remaining insulin also is quantified and listed below thefirst icon 154. A second icon 158 has the shape of a battery and has abar 160 arranged relative to the battery-shape to illustrate the amount of remaining battery life. The percentage of remaining life on the battery is positioned below the second icon 158. - In one possible embodiment, the
home page 152 presents thecurrent status 162 of the insulin pump's 100 operation. In the example set forth in the illustration, theinsulin pump 100 is delivering insulin at a rate of 1.15 units per hour according to a first basal schedule. Thehome page 152 also presents thename 166 of the active delivery program it is executing and personal information 168 as programmed by the user. In the illustrated example, the personal information it displays is a banner “Mary's Pump,” which identifies the owner of theinsulin pump 100. Other examples of information that might be included in the personal field includes medical information about the pump user similar to that information included on a medical alert bracelet such as allergies and the fact that the patient is diabetic, more detailed information about the patient including the patient's full name, telephone number, and address, detailed information about the user's caregiver such as the name and telephone number of the user's physician, and a warning that thepump 100 is an insulin pump and should not be removed from the user. - Furthermore, the
pump 100 can be configured to present more than one home page. In this embodiment, the user scrolls through the home pages using the up and downkeys 142 and 144. For example, other home pages might include the date, time, and amount of the last bolus delivered by the insulin pump; contact information about the patient's caregiver; medical information about the patient such as a list of the user's allergies, a warning that the user is a diabetic, and a warning that the pump is an insulin pump and should not be removed. - The
pump 100 displays anicon 170 in thehome page 152 to identify the displayed page as the home page. Additionally, theicon 170 can include a page number to indicate which home page is currently being displayed. One possible shape for the home page icon is an icon having the shape of a house. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , when thepump 100 is displaying the home page it assigns a suspendfunction 172 to thefirst function key 138 and amenu function 174 to thesecond function key 140. Accordingly, pressing thefirst function key 138 initiates a suspend pumping operation. If thepump 100 has an active delivery program in addition to the standard basal delivery program, thepump 100 displays a list of options that prompts 173 the user to select whether to suspend all active delivery programs or just one of the active delivery programs other than the standard delivery program. In one embodiment of thepump 100, there are three possible ways to deliver additional amounts of insulin over an extended period—an extended bolus, a combination bolus, and a temporary rate, all of which are described in more detail herein. - In the example set forth in
FIG. 3 , thepump 100 has an active temporary rate delivery program so thepump 100 prompts the user to select whether to suspend all active delivery programs or just the temporary rate delivery program by scrolling to the desired delivery program to suspend. The user then activates aSelect function 194, which is assigned to thesecond function key 140. - After the user activates the
Select function 194, theinsulin pump 100 prompts 176 the user to confirm suspension of the selected delivery, whether it is all delivery, the extended bolus, the combination bolus, or the temporary rate. The user can confirm the suspend operation by activating the yes function 178 by pressing thesecond function key 140 or cancel the suspend operation by activating the nofunction 180 by pressing thefirst function key 138. If there is no insulin being delivered in addition to the standard basal rate, the insulin pump will automatically skip from thehome page 152 to the prompt 176 asking the user to confirm suspension of the delivery. - When the user activates the yes function 178, the
pump 100 displays awarning 182 that theinsulin pump 100 is stopping delivery. The user then activates an o.k. function 184 and thepump 100 stops delivery, returns to thehome page 152 and displays a banner 186 stating thepump 100 is stopped. On thehome page 152, thepump 100 assigns aResume function 188 in place of the suspendfunction 172. In one possible alternative embodiment, theinsulin pump 100 merely displays the warning that thepump 100 is stopping delivery for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 5 seconds) and then stops thepump 100 and returns to thehome page 152. - To resume pumping, the user activates the Resume function. The
insulin pump 100 then prompts 189 the user to either confirm or cancel the resume function by activating either ayes function 178 or a nofunction 180. - Alternatively, at the list that prompts 173 the user to select whether to suspend all active delivery programs or just one of the active delivery programs other than the standard delivery program, the user can return to the previous display (i.e., the home page 152) by activating a
Back function 170, which is assigned to thefirst function key 138. Activating the Back function, whenever it is assigned to thefirst function key 138, always returns thepump 100 back to the previous display. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the user accesses amain menu 190 by activating amenu function 192 assigned to thesecond function key 140. Theinsulin pump 100 then displays themain menu 190, which includes a plurality of menu items that the user can select for setting operation parameters and performing various tasks as described herein. In one possible embodiment, the menu items in the main menu are Basal Programs, New Cartridge, History, and Pump Settings. In other possible embodiments, themain menu 190 can be customized to include other menu items such as Correction Bolus, Temporary Rate, Meal Bolus, and others. Furthermore, the user can customize at least some of the labels for various menu items in both themain menu 190 and submenus. - The New Cartridge menu item is selected to access the cartridge or syringe of insulin loaded in the
pump 100. In one possible embodiment, selecting the New Cartridge menu item automatically sequences the user through the steps of loading the new cartridge, priming the tubing for the infusion set, priming the cannula, and setting the display site reminder, if the display site reminder is enabled. The display site reminder is discussed below in more detail. In yet another embodiment the user must affirmatively acknowledge each of these steps by pressing a predetermined key, either the first orsecond function keys keypad 124, at the conclusion of each step, which causes the pump to index to the next step. After sequencing through each of these steps, thepump 100 prompts the user to enter an instruction whether to resume delivery of insulin. - Accessing the cartridge is discussed in more detail in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/086,646, entitled Cartridge and Pump With Axial Loading, the disclosure of which was incorporated by reference above.
- The user selects the desired menu item by using the up and down
keys 142 and 144 until the desired menu item is highlighted or otherwise marked. The user then activates the highlighted menu item by activating aselect function 194 assigned to thesecond function key 140. - By selecting the Pump Settings menu item, the pump brings up a Pump Settings submenu 196 of several submenu items, including Time and Date, Beep/Vibrate, Program Lock, and Personalize. The Time and Date menu option is selected to set the time and date of the clock. This time and date is set in real time. When the Time and Date menu option is selected, the screen displays the time and date, and focus is placed on the
hour field 198. The user scrolls through values for the hour until the desired value is set. The user then activates anext function 200 assigned to thesecond function key 140 to index through the remaining fields for the time and date (e.g., theminute field 202, the am/pm field 204, themonth field 206, theday field 208, and the year field 210) and set the desired values for each of these fields. The user exits the Time and Date function at any time by activating theDone function 212 assigned to thefirst function key 138. Activating theDone function 212 saves the current time and date settings and returns the pump to thePump Settings submenu 196. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , to configure an alarm function to generate either an audible or vibratory signal, the user selects the Beep/Vibrate menu option within thePump Settings submenu 196. Thepump 100 then indexes to the next user interface and places focus on a choose-alert field 214. The user scrolls to the desired beep setting or vibrate setting and selects that setting by activating theNext function 200 to select the desired setting. If the Beep setting is selected, focus changes to a beep-volume field 216 and the user scrolls to and selects the desired volume level. In one possible embodiment, the volume levels from which the user can select are low, medium, and high. Other embodiments use a numbered volume scale, labels such as indoor and outdoor, and the like. Upon selecting the desired volume level, the alert and volume settings are saved and thePump Setting submenu 196 is displayed on the screen 106. If the user selects vibrate in the choose-alert field 214, thepump 100 will return directly to thePump Setting submenu 196. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , to lock out thepump 100 and prevent anyone from entering themain menu 190, the user selects the Program Lock menu item in thePump Settings submenu 196. Focus then indexes to a lockout user interface having a lock-outfield 218, which is placed in focus. The user scrolls and selects to the desired yes or no value. If the user selects no, thepump 100 continues operating and thepump 100 is not locked out. If the user selects yes, thepump 100 is locked and must be unlocked to access the main 190 menu from thehome page 152. In one possible embodiment, if there are multiple home pages, the user can still scroll through all of the home pages without unlocking themain menu 190. In another possible embodiment, the user can still troubleshoot alarms without unlocking thepump 100. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , to unlock thepump 100 the user activates themenu function 174 and thepump 100 indexes to a user interface having a lockout-code field 220, which is placed in focus. The user scrolls to and selects the lockout code. In one possible embodiment, the lockout code is a number and the user enters the lockout code by scrolling through possible codes. Upon selecting the proper lock-out code, themain menu 190 is unlocked and the main menu is displayed. - In alternative embodiments, there are separate fields for each digit in the lockout code. In this embodiment, the user indexes through the digits using the
Next function 200 until the last digit is set at which time thepump 100 either unlocks the main menu or admonishes the user that the wrong code was entered. - Yet another embodiment of the
pump 100 has lock levels in which the different codes can be entered into thepump 100, each code permitting access to a different set of commands and functions. Lock levels are described in more detail in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,935,099, which is entitled DRUG PUMP SYSTEMS AND METHODS and issued on Aug. 10, 1999, the complete disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , to customize the time and date formats, the user selects a Personalize menu item in thePump Settings submenu 196. Thepump 100 then indexes to aPersonalize submenu 222 in which the user selects a Localization menu item. The pump then indexes to a time-format field 224, which is placed in focus. The user scrolls to and selects the desired time format (e.g., 12-hour or 24-hour). Thepump 100 then indexes focus to a date-format field 226. The user scrolls to and selects the desired date format (e.g., mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy). Thepump 100 then indexes focus to a numeric-format field 228. The user scrolls to and selects the desired numeric format (e.g., xx.xx or xx,xx). Thepump 100 then returns to thePersonalize submenu 222. In an alternative embodiment, the user can also set a flag that causes the pump to automatically change time at the beginning and end of daylight savings time. - Referring to
FIG. 9 , to customize and set various alerts and reminders the user selects the Alerts item from thePersonalize submenu 222. When the user selects the Alert menu item, thepump 100 indexes to a low-cartridge-alert field 230, which is placed into focus. The user scrolls to and selects the desired volume (i.e., remaining volume within the cartridge) at which thepump 100 will generate a low cartridge alert. In one possible embodiment, the user can select whether to set the threshold for the low volume alert in the range from 5 units to 50 units. Upon selecting the desired volume, focus indexes to a delivery-limit field 232. The user scrolls to and selects the desired delivery limit at which an alarm is generated when there is an attempt to deliver more insulin than is allowed in a one-hour period of time. In one possible embodiment, the user can select whether to set the threshold for the delivery limit alarm in the range from 2 units to 100 units. - The
insulin pump 100 then indexes focus to a glucose-reminder field 234, which is an alert that reminds the pump user to check their blood glucose level, based on a triggering event such as when the user last loaded a new insulin cartridge into thepump 100 or administered a meal bolus. The user scrolls to the desired yes and no values or settings. The yes value enables the glucose reminder and the no value disables the glucose reminder. - The
pump 100 then indexes focus to a duration field 236 in which the user sets the duration between the triggering event and when the glucose reminder signals an alert. The user scrolls to and selects the desired duration. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through values in the range from 1 hour to 5 hours in a predetermined increment, such as 15 minute, half hours, or one hour increments. Thepump 100 then indexes focus to an automatic-off field 238. If the user selects no in the glucose-reminder field 234, thepump 100 will skip over the duration field 236 and index focus directly to the automatic-off field 238. - In this embodiment occurrence of the triggering event will begin a timer running, which will time out and generate an alarm when the duration lapses. When the alert is signaled, the pump displays a message reminding the user to check their blood glucose levels. The user activates a predetermined key, either the first or
second function key keypad 124, to clear the alert and the message. - Within the automatic-
off field 238, the user sets an automatic-off alarm that is generated when no keys or buttons on the insulin pump or a remote control unit associated with thepump 100 are pressed within a predetermined period of time. Thepump 100 also suspends delivery when the automatic off alarm is generated and generates an alarm display. In one possible embodiment, when the automatic off alarm is generated, the user must acknowledge the alarm while the alarm display is presented and then must reinitialize thepump 100 to resume delivery. Another embodiment, the alarm display includes a message stating that the pump is an insulin pump. - When the automatic-
off field 238 is in focus, the user scrolls to and selects the desired yes or no value. If the user selects the yes value, thepump 100 enables the automatic-off alarm, and thepump 100 indexes focus to aduration field 240 in which the user scrolls to the desired duration corresponding to the delay before the automatic-off alarm is sounded and delivery is suspended. After the delay is set, thepump 100 indexes focus to a display-site-reminder field 242. If the user selects the no value in the automatic-off field 238, thepump 100 disables the automatic-off alarm, and indexes focus to the display-site-reminder field 242 and skips theduration field 240. - The display-site reminder is an alert that reminds the user to change their infusion set and access site (i.e., where on their body the insulin is injected). Within the display-site-
reminder field 242, the user scrolls to and selects the desired yes and no values. If the user selects the yes function thepump 100 enables the display-site reminder, and if the user selects the no value, the user will disable the display-site reminder. In one possible embodiment, the display-site reminder will generate an alarm at a predetermined interval after the last time that the user changed their infusion set and access site. Upon selecting the yes or no value, focus indexes to a review/edit-meal-bolus-alarm field 246. - If the user enables the display site reminder, the
pump 100 prompts the user to enter the interval (i.e., the number of days) after which to generate a reminder or alarm and the time of day at which to generate the reminder. For example, setting an interval of 2 days and a time of 4:00 pm, would cause thepump 100 to generate a display-site reminder at 4:00 pm on the second day after the interval starts to run. When thepump 100 generates the display-site reminder to change the user's infusion set and access site, it generates an audio and/or vibratory alarm and displays a banner or other visual reminder that the user acknowledges by pressing a designatedfunction key key pad 124. Thepump 100 includes a display-site reminder menu item that the user selects to reset the display site reminder and to adjust the interval and time of day if so desired. The user would access this menu item and reset the display-site reminder when changing his or her infusion set and access site. - In one possible embodiment, the pump automatically takes the user through the process of setting the interval and time of day for the display site reminder when going through the sequence of loading the new cartridge or syringe into the
pump 100 and priming the infusion set. - A meal bolus alarm is an alarm that reminds the user to deliver a meal bolus during a predetermined time interval. For example, if the user eats breakfast every day between 7:00 am and 8:00 am every day, the user may set a missed-meal-bolus alarm for an interval between 6:15 am and 8 am. In this example, an alarm sounds if a meal bolus is not delivered within this interval. In one possible embodiment, the user can set up to four separate missed-meal-bolus alarms.
- Within the review/edit-meal-bolus-alarm field 246, the user scrolls to and selects the desired yes or no value. If the user selects the no value, the
pump 100 returns to thePersonalize submenu 222. If the user selects the yes value, thepump 100 presents auser interface 248 entitled “Meal Bolus Alarm,” which lists thenames 250 of the available alarms (Alarms 1-4 in the illustrated embodiment) and acheck box 252 next to the name of each alarm. If a missed-meal-bolus alarm is enabled, thecheck box 252 is set. If a missed-meal-bolus alarm is not enabled, thecheck box 252 is cleared. - To set an alarm, the user scrolls to the
name 250 of the desired alarm and activates anedit function 254, which is assigned to thesecond function key 140. Thepump 100 then displays auser interface 256 entitled “Meal Bolus Alarm: Alarm X”, where X identifies the alarm to which the screen relates. In the illustrated embodiment, thedisplay 256 relates toAlarm 1. There is one Meal Bolus Alarm:Alarm X display 256 associated with each of thealarms 250. Within the Meal Bolus Alarm:Alarm X display 256, there are three fields, a give-alert field 258, an interval-start field 260, and an interval-end field 262. - The give-
alert field 258 is the first field placed in focus. The user scrolls to and selects the desired yes or no value. The yes value enables the meal bolus alarm, and the no value disables the meal bolus alarm. If the user selects the no value, thepump 100 returns to the “Meal Bolus Alarm”user interface 248. If the user selects the yes value, the pump indexes focus to the interval-start field 260. The user then scrolls to and selects the desired start time for the interval. Thepump 100 then indexes focus to the interval-end field 262. The user scrolls to and selects the desired end time for the interval. In one possible embodiment, the time values through which the use scrolls are set at 15 minute increments, although other embodiments will have other time increments. - The
pump 100 then saves interval start and stop times for that meal bolus alarm and returns to the MealBolus Alarm display 248. The user can then select another meal bolus alarm to enable and set or to disable using the procedures discussed above. Alternatively, the user can activate theDone function 212 and thepump 100 will save the settings for all of the meal bolus alarms and return to thePersonalize submenu 222. - Referring to
FIG. 10 , one possible embodiment of the insulin pump 100 tracks historical information related to thepump 100 such as delivery information and other events related to thepump 100. Historical information can be viewed on the screen 106 of thepump 100 or uploaded to a computer as discussed in more detail herein. Thepump 100 can be customized to view historical delivery and event information in individual history screens or under the History item of themain menu 190. Additionally, thepump 100 can display delivery information either as individual events or as averages. These alternatives are only some of the possible embodiments. - The
pump 100 can be programmed to track many different types of historical information, to present the historical information in many different ways, and to provide different ways to access historical information. In one possible embodiment, the historical information that thepump 100 tracks includes: - (1) The aggregate insulin delivered by the
pump 100 as well as the amount of insulin broken down by insulin delivered as a meal bolus, insulin delivered to counteract estimated carbohydrates consumed by the user (if the carbohydrate estimator is used), delivered as a correction bolus, and delivered according to basal delivery protocols. In various embodiments, thepump 100 will record delivery according to basal delivery protocols as a total for all basal delivery protocols, or if thepump 100 is programmed with multiple delivery basal protocols, the delivered insulin can be broken down by each basal protocol used by thepump 100. In one possible embodiment, this data is stored as a daily total and an average daily total for a predetermined number of days. Additionally, in various embodiments, the average data can be recorded as actual average values or the average data can be calculated from the daily totals when requested for display or upon other requests. - (2) The amount of insulin delivered by the
pump 100 according to a basal protocol as a percent of the total insulin delivered by thepump 100. In one possible embodiment, this data is stored as a daily percentage and an average daily percentage for a predetermined number of days. Additionally, in various embodiments, the average data can be recorded as actual average values or the average data can be calculated from the daily totals when requested for display or upon other requests. - (3) The date, time, and amount of each bolus delivered.
- (4) The 500-Rule factor, which is used to estimate the grams of carbohydrates that are covered by each unit of insulin. To determine the grams of carbohydrates that are covered by each unit of insulin, the 500-Rule factor is divided by the total daily dose of insulin required to maintain the user blood sugar level in an acceptable range. The typical 500-Rule factor is 500, and hence the ratio is called the 500 Rule. However, the factor may vary for different types of insulin and from user to user and the value for the 500-Rule factor is calculated and stored. In one possible embodiment, the 500-Rule factor is stored as a daily value depending on the total delivery dose and an average value for a predetermined number of days. In an alternative embodiment, the 500-Rule factor is not stored but is calculated as the 500-Rule factor is required for a display, calculation, or other function.
- (5) The 1800-Rule factor, which is used to estimate the number of units of insulin is required for each mg/dL (or mmol/L) drop in blood glucose. To determine the drop in blood glucose for each unit if insulin delivered to the user, the 1800-Rule factor is divided by the total daily dose of insulin required to maintain the user blood sugar level in an acceptable range. The typical 1800-Rule factor is 1800, and hence the ratio is called the 1800 Rule. However, the factor may vary for different types of insulin and from user to user and the value for the 1800-Rule factor is calculated and stored. In one possible embodiment, the 1800-Rule factor is stored as a daily value depending on the total delivery dose and an average value for a predetermined number of days. In an alternative embodiment, the 1800-Rule factor is not stored but is calculated as the 1800-Rule factor is required for a display, calculation, or other function.
- (6) The complete history, which in one possible embodiment is the last 2000 events that are experienced by the pump, including all daily delivery totals, all alerts, all errors, all battery changes, all insulin cartridge changes, all changes to the pump program, and the like. Each record of an event includes the date and time that the event occurred. In other embodiments, a predetermined number of events other than 2000 are recorded. In yet another possible embodiment, the
pump 100 records the events for a predetermined number of days rather than an absolute quantity, although there might be a limit to the total number of events that are recorded depending on available memory and other factors. - In one possible embodiment, as used herein total daily dose, also referred to as Total Daily Dose or TDD, refers to the total amount of insulin delivered during a single day excluding the amount of insulin delivered as a correction bolus. Other embodiments might include the amount of insulin delivered as a correction bolus in the total daily dose of insulin.
- To customize how the historical information is displayed on the
pump 100, the user selects the History menu item from thePersonalize submenu 222. Thepump 100 indexes to a delivery-summary field 264, which is placed in focus. The user scrolls to and selects the desired yes or no value. The yes value enables the Delivery Summary menu item in the History submenu 290 (FIG. 11 ), and the no value disables the Delivery Summary menu item in the History submenu 290. Disabled menu items are not displayed as part of the menu. In one possible embodiment, the delivery summary displayed under this menu item includes the total daily dose of insulin delivered by thepump 100 as well as the amount of insulin broken down by insulin delivered as a meal bolus, insulin delivered to counteract estimated carbohydrates consumed by the user (if the carbohydrate estimator is used), delivered as a correction bolus, and delivered according to basal delivery protocols. In an alternative embodiment, the delivery summary includes the total or aggregate amount of insulin, including insulin delivered as a correction bolus. - Upon selecting the yes or no value in the delivery-
summary field 264, focus indexes to an average-delivery-summary field 266, in which the user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. The yes value enables the Average Delivery Summary menu item in the History submenu 290, and the no value disables the Average Delivery Summary menu item in the History submenu 290. In one possible embodiment, the Average Delivery Summary displayed under this menu item includes the average daily total for a predetermined number of days for the aggregate insulin delivered by the pump as well as the amount of insulin broken down by insulin delivered as a meal bolus, insulin delivered to counteract estimated carbohydrates consumed by the user (if the carbohydrate estimator is used), delivered as a correction bolus, and delivered according to basal delivery protocols. - Upon selecting the yes or no value in the average-delivery-
summary field 266, focus indexes to a basal-as-percent-of-TDD field 268. In one possible embodiment, basal as a percent of TDD is the amount of insulin delivered by thepump 100 according to a basal protocol as a daily percent of the total insulin delivered by thepump 100. The user selects whether to display the Basal as a Percent of TDD menu item in the History submenu 290 using a procedure similar to that described for the Delivery Summary. Under this menu item, thepump 100 lists the total daily amount of insulin delivered as a basal as a percent of the total daily dose of insulin delivered-. In an alternative embodiment, thepump 100 lists the total daily amount of insulin delivered as a bolus as a percent of the total daily dose of insulin delivered. In various embodiments, the bolus as a percent can be listed as the meal bolus as a percent of the total daily dose of insulin delivered, correction bolus as a percent of the total daily dose of insulin delivered, or total bolus as a percent of the total daily dose of insulin delivered. Thepump 100 then indexes focus to an average-basal-as-percent-of-TDD field 270. In one possible embodiment, average basal as a percent of total daily delivery (TDD) is the amount of insulin delivered by thepump 100 according to a basal protocol as an average daily percent over a predetermined number of days of the total insulin delivered by thepump 100. The user selects whether to display the Avg Basal as a Percent of TDD menu item in the History submenu 290 using a procedure similar to that described for the Delivery Summary. Thepump 100 lists the average basal as a percent of the total daily delivery under this menu item. - The
pump 100 then indexes focus to a bolus-history field 272. In one possible embodiment, the Bolus History is the date, time, and amount of each bolus delivered. The user selects whether to display a Bolus History menu item in the History submenu 290 using a procedure similar to that described for the Delivery Summary. Thepump 100 lists the pump's 100 Bolus History under the Bolus History menu item. - The
pump 100 then indexes focus to an edit-display-of-more-history field 274. The user scrolls to a yes value or a no value as desired and then activates the next function. If the user selects the no value, the pump returns to thePersonalize submenu 222. If the user selects the yes value, the focus indexes to a carbohydrate-ratio field 276 in which the user scrolls to a yes value or a no value as desired and activates the Next function. Selecting the yes value causes thepump 100 to display a Calc 500 Rule menu item in the history submenu 290 and to display the calculated carbohydrate ratio. The pump indexes focus to a 500-rule-factor field 278 when the user selects yes in the 500-rule-factor field 276. The user then scrolls to the desired 500-Rule factor to use in various calculations and activates the Next function. In one possible embodiment, the potential factors are in the range from 400 to 600 in increments of 15. Thepump 100 then indexes focus from the 500-rule-factor field to an average-carb-ratio field 280. Selecting the no value in the 500-Rule-factor field 276 disables display of the Calc 500 Rule menu item in the History submenu 290 and causes thepump 100 to index directly from the 500-rule-factor field 276 to the average-carb-ratio field 280. - Within the average-carb-
ratio field 280, the user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. If the user selects the yes value, thepump 100 will enable an Avg Calc 500 Rule menu item in the History submenu 290. Under the Avg Calc 500 Rule menu item, the pump displays the average carbohydrate ratio for a predetermined number of days. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 calculates the average carbohydrate ratio for a 7-day period. Upon selecting the yes or no value, the pump indexes focus to a correction-factor field 282. - In other embodiments, the pump calculates the average carbohydrate ratio for periods other than 7 days. For example, the range could be in the range from 2 to 90 days. In another possible embodiment, the
pump 100 calculates the average carbohydrate ratio for however number of days it stores historical data. In yet another embodiment, the user can select a predetermined number of days over which to calculate and average the carbohydrate ratio. - If the user selects the yes value in the correction-factor field 282, the focus indexes to an 1800-rule-
factor field 284. The user then scrolls to and selects the desired 1800-Rule factor to use in various calculations. In one possible embodiment, the potential 1800-Rule factors are in the range from 1500 to 2200 in increments of 100. The pump then indexes focus to an average-correction-factor field 286. Selecting the no value in the correction-factor field 282 disables display of the Calc 1800-Rule menu item in the History submenu 290 and causes the pump to index directly from the correction-factor field 282 to the average-correction-factor field 286. - Within the average-correction-factor field 286, the user scrolls to and selects a yes value or a no value. If the user selects the yes value, the
pump 100 will enable the Avg. Calc 1800 Rule menu item in the History submenu 290. Under the Avg. Calc 1800 Rule menu item, thepump 100 displays the average correction factor for a predetermined number of days. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 calculates the average correction factor for a 7-day period. Upon selecting the yes or no value, in the average-correction-factor field 286, the pump indexes focus to a complete-history field 288. - In other embodiments, the pump calculates the average correction factor for periods other than 7 days. For example, the range could be in the range from 2 to 90 days. In another possible embodiment, the
pump 100 calculates the average correction factor for however number of days it stores historical data. In yet another embodiment, the user can select a predetermined number of days over which to calculate and average the correction factor. - Within the complete-
history field 288, the user scrolls between either a yes value or a no value. The user selects yes to enable a Complete History menu item in the History submenu 290 and selects the no value to disable the Complete History menu item. Upon selecting either the yes or no value, the pump returns to the Personalize submenu. Under the Complete History menu item, the pump displays the complete body of historical information stored inRAM 116. - Referring now to
FIG. 11 , viewing historical information about thepump 100 is accomplished through themain menu 190. The user activates theMenu function 174 to access themain menu 190. Within theMain Menu 190, the user selects and activates the History menu item. The pump then indexes to the History submenu 290 that lists the historical information that is available to view on thepump 100. As described above, the historical information that is available, depending on the setting made within the History item of thePersonalize submenu 222 as described above, are Delivery Summary, Avg Delivery Summary, Basal as a Percent of TDD, Avg Basal as a percent of TDD, Calc 500 Rule, Avg Calc 500 Rule, Calc 1800 Rule, and Avg Calc 1800 rule. - If the user selects Delivery Summary, the pump indexes to a
Delivery Summary 292 that has adate field 294 in which the current date is listed and a Total field in which the total number of insulin units delivered is listed, a Meal Bolus field in which the number of insulin units delivered as a meal bolus is listed, a Carbs field in which the total number of carbohydrates that the user entered as an estimate of carbohydrate consumption is listed, Corr. Bolus field in which the total number of insulin units delivered as a correction bolus are listed, and a Basal field in which the total number of insulin units delivered according to the basal protocols employed by the pump are listed. - The user can scroll through dates in the
date field 294 and see this historical information for dates other than the current date. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through the seven different dates, including the current date and the six previous dates. When the user scrolls to a different date, the pump automatically updates the historical delivery information relating to delivery that occurred on the date now listed in the date field. In an alternative embodiment, the user can scroll through the previous 90 days of data. In yet another possible embodiment, the user can scroll through however many days of data are stored on thepump 100. - If the user selects the Avg Delivery Summary menu item in the History submenu 290, the
pump 100 indexes to adisplay 296 entitled “7 Day Average,” 293 and displays the same fields (Total field, Meal Bolus field, Carbs field, Con. Bolus field, Basal field) as theDelivery Summary display 292. However, rather than daily totals, the fields present that average number of insulin units delivered over a predetermined number of days. Additionally, in place of thedate field 294, the screen for the Avg Delivery Summary presents an avg-overfield 298, which contains the number of days for which the historical data is being averaged. The user can change the number of days by scrolling up or down using the up or down keys, respectively. In one possible embodiment, the number of days that can be averaged are in the range from 2-30. In another possible embodiment, the number of days that can be averaged are in the range from 2-90 days. In yet another possible embodiment, the number of days that can be averaged are in the range from 2 days to however many days of historical data are stored on thepump 100. After scrolling to a new number of days to average, the user activates anUpdate Function 300 and thepump 100 recalculates the averages. - If the user changes the number of days over which the average data is calculated, the title “7 Day Average” 293 changes to “X Day Average,” where X is the selected number of days over which the data is averaged.
- If the user selects the Basal as % of TDD item menu from the History submenu 290, the
pump 100 will display a “Basal as % of TDD” display (not shown) and present the percent of total insulin delivered by the pump according to the basal delivery protocols on any given day. The Basal as % of TDD display will present a date field in which the user can change the day for which the historical information is presented in a manner similar to theDelivery Summary display 292 as described above. - If the user selects the Avg Basal as % of TDD item menu from the History submenu 290, the
pump 100 will display an “Avg Basal as % of TDD” display (not shown) and present the average percent of total insulin delivered by thepump 100 according to the basal delivery protocols for a predefined number of days. The Basal as % of TDD screen will display an avg-overfield 298 in which the user can change the number of days for which the historical information averaged in a manner similar to the 7Day Summary display 296 as described above. - If the user selects Calc 500 Rule, the pump will index to a “Carb Ratio—500 Rule” display and present a table of information. In each row of the table, the pump will list a date and the calculated carbohydrate ratio for that date. The carbohydrate ratio is calculated by dividing the 500-Rule factor by the total number of insulin units delivered for that day. In one possible embodiment, the
pump 100 will calculate and list the carbohydrate ratio for 30 days and the user can scroll through those values using the up and down keys. However, other embodiments will calculate and list the carbohydrate ratio for any other number of days. - If the user selects Avg Calc 500 Rule, the
pump 100 indexes to an “Avg Carb Ratio—500 Rule” display. Thepump 100 calculates and presents the average carbohydrate ratio for a predetermined number of days. The “Avg Carb Ratio—500 Rule” display includes an avg-overfield 298 in which the user can change the number of days for which the average carbohydrate ratio is averaged in a manner similar to the “Avg Delivery Summary” display as described above. - If the user selects Calc 1800 Rule, the
pump 100 will index to a “Correction Factor—1800 Rule” display and present a table of information. In each row of the table, thepump 100 will list a date and the calculated correction factor for that date. The correction factor is calculated by dividing the 1800-Rule factor by the total daily dose of insulin required to maintain the user blood sugar level in an acceptable range. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 will calculate and list the correction factor for 30 days and the user can scroll through those values using the up and downkeys 142 and 144. However, other embodiments will calculate and list the correction factor for other numbers of days. - If the user selects Avg Calc 1800 Rule, the
pump 100 indexes to an “Avg Correction Factor—1800 Rule” display. Thepump 100 calculates and presents the average correction factor for a predetermined number of days. The Avg Correction Factor—1800 Rule screen includes an avg-overfield 298 in which the user can change the number of days for which the average correction factor is averaged in a manner similar to the “Avg Delivery Summary” display as described above. - Referring to
FIG. 12 , theinsulin pump 100 can deliver insulin either according to a basal rate or as a bolus. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 can deliver insulin according to four different basal delivery programs. To customize the basal delivery programs, the user accesses thePersonalize Delivery submenu 222. - Selecting the Delivery menu item in the
Personalize submenu 222 causes the pump to index to aPersonalize Delivery submenu 302 in which the user can select the type of bolus or basal delivery protocol to edit. Selecting the Basal Program menu item causes thepump 100 to index a maximum-basal-rate field 304, which is placed in focus. Within the maximum-basal-rate field 304, the user scrolls to and selects the desired maximum basal rate. In one possible embodiment, the maximum basal rate values are in the units of u/hr and the user can scroll through values in the range from 0.5 u/hr to 36 u/hr in increments of 0.5 u/hr. When the desired maximum basal rate is selected, focus indexes to a review/edit-basal-programs field 306 in which the user selects either a yes or a no value. If the user selects the no value, theinsulin pump 100 returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. - If the user selects the yes value, the
pump 100 indexes to a display 308 entitled “Select Program” and lists thename 310 for each of the basal programs,Basal 1,Basal 2,Basal 3, andBasal 4. A check box 312 is also displayed next to eachname 310 for the basal delivery programs. If a Basal program is enabled, the check box 312 next to its name is set. If a Basal program is not enabled, the check box 312 next to its name is cleared. Thename 310 of each enabled basal-delivery program is displayed as a menu item in the Basal Programs submenu 318 (FIG. 13 ) and the user can selectively activate the enabled programs. - To enable or disable a basal program, the user scrolls to the desired basal program and activates the
Edit function 254. Thepump 100 indexes to a display 313 entitled “My Program X,” where X is the number of the basal program being edited. In the illustrated example, the title of the display is MyProgram 1 becauseBasal program 1 is being edited. The display has two fields, an enable field 314 and aname field 316. Within the enable field 314, the user selects either a yes value or a no value. If the user selects the no value, thepump 100 disables the basal program associated with the screen 313 (Basal Program 1 in the illustrated example) and returns to the Select Program display 308. The check box 312 for the disabled program is cleared. In one possible embodiment, if thepump 100 is actually executing the basal program that the user attempts to disable, thepump 100 will not disable the program and will present an error message stating, “You may not disable the active program.” - If the user selects the yes value in the enable field 314, the
pump 100 indexes focus to thename field 316. Within thename field 316, the user can assign a custom name to the basal delivery program. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through names that are preloaded into thepump 100. Examples of names might include Weekday, Weekend, Sick Day, Travel, Monthly, and the generic name Basal X, where X is the number of the basal program being edited. When the user has scrolled to the desired name, the user activates the Next function and thepump 100 returns to the Select Program display 308. The check box 312 for the program that was just edited is set to indicate that the basal program is enabled. Additionally, the name selected in thename field 316 is displayed in the Select Program display 308 in place of the previously assigned name. The name selected in thename field 316 is also displayed as a menu item in theBasal Programs submenu 318. - The user repeats this procedure from the Select Program display 308 for each
basal program 310 for which he or she desires to change the enabled state and/or name. When the user is done changing the enabled states and program names for the variousbasal programs 310, the user activates theDone function 212. Thepump 100 then returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. As described below, the names of the enabled basal delivery programs will then appear theBasal Programs submenu 318. - In an alternative embodiment, within the display entitled “My Program X,” the user can access a spin box in which they scroll through a list of optional names and select a custom name for the enabled basal delivery programs. The selected name would then replace the generic name (e.g.,
Basal 1,Basal 2,Basal 3, andBasal 4 in the illustrated example) for the program associated with the display. Examples of optional names that might be loaded in thepump 100 include weekday, weekend, sick, and monthly (which is to designate a basal delivery program set for a woman's menstrual cycle). - Referring now to
FIG. 13 , the user can edit the operating parameters for the delivery protocols assigned to each of the enabled basal programs. From the main menu, the user selects the Basal Programs menu item. The pump then indexes to aBasal Programs submenu 318 that lists those basal programs 317 that have been enabled as menu items. Each Basal Delivery program listed in thesubmenu 318 is identified by the name assigned to that particular program (e.g., Basal X, Weekend, Weekday, Sick Day, Travel, Monthly). In the illustrated example, all four basal programs are enabled and identified by the generic name Basal X. Additionally, there isbutton 320 next to each of the menu items (names for the enabled basal programs). Thebuttons 320 associated with the active basal program are set, and the buttons for the other basal delivery programs are cleared. - To edit a basal program, the user scrolls to and selects the desired basal program. The
pump 100 indexes to asubmenu 322 for which the title is the same name as the selected basal program. The menu has two menu items, an Edit menu item and a Start Using menu item. The user selects the edit menu item and thepump 100 indexes to aSummary user interface 324 that presents a table in which each row identifies a start time 326 and a scheduleddelivery rate 328 for each time interval in the basal program. In the illustrated embodiment, there is a first time interval 330 having a start time and a delivery rate, asecond time interval 332 having a start time and a delivery rate, and a third time interval having 334 a start time and a delivery rate. The start times are listed in a start-time field, and the delivery rates, are listed in a delivery-rate field. - To edit the start times and the delivery rates, the user activates the
edit function 254 in theSummary user interface 324 and thepump 100 indexes to an Edit user interface 336 and assigns theDone function 212 to thefirst function key 138. Additionally, thepump 100 places focus on the delivery-rate field 340 for the first interval 330. The user scrolls to and selects the desired delivery rate. The user selects the desired delivery by scrolling to the desired value and activating theNext function 200. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 scrolls through delivery rates in the range from 0 u/hr to 2 u/hr in increments of 0.05 units per hour. The delivery rate does not exceed the maximum delivery rate (FIG. 12 , Item 304). - When the desired delivery rate is selected, the
pump 100 indexes focus to the start-time field 342 for thesecond time interval 332. The user scrolls to and selects the desired start time. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 scrolls through start times in increments of 30 minutes. In one possible embodiment, the start time cannot be earlier than or equal to the start time of the previous time interval and cannot be later than or equal to the start time of the next subsequent time interval. Other embodiments will implement different scrolling increments and limitations on the start time that can be selected. In another embodiment, if a selected start time is not in sequence, thepump 100 will automatically reposition the delivery intervals so they are in chronological order. - When the desired start time is selected, pump 100 then indexes focus to the delivery-
rate field 340 for thesecond time interval 332, which the user sets using the procedures described above with respect to the first time interval 330. The user continues this procedure indexing through the start times for each of the time intervals and their associated delivery rates until the start time for each of the delivery intervals and their associated delivery rates are set. When the user is finished setting and/or editing the start times and delivery rates for the various intervals, he or she activates theDone function 212 and thepump 100 returns to theSummary Display 324. - In one possible embodiment, the first time interval 330 always starts at 12:00 midnight. In this embodiment, the last time interval will terminate at 12:00 midnight. If, within the
Summary Display 324, the user highlights and selects the first time interval 330 for editing, thepump 100 indexes to the Edit display 336 and initially highlights thedelivery rate 328 for the first time interval 330 rather than the start time 326. In another embodiment, however, the user can change thestart time 320 for the first time interval 330. The last time interval would then extend until the start time for the first time interval 330. Additionally, within theSummary Display 324, the user can scroll to a delivery interval other than the first interval 330 and activate theEdit function 254. In this situation, the start-time field 342 for the selected interval is initially placed into focus rather than the delivery-rate field 340. - To add a time interval to the basal program, the user continues to index through all of the time intervals and associated fields until the pump generates a new delivery interval and displays the characters “--:--” 344 in the start-
time field 342 of the new interval, which occurs after indexing through the delivery-rate field 340 for the last time interval. The user then scrolls through desired start times for the new time interval. After the desired start time is selected, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100 indexes to the delivery-rate field 340 for the new time interval, which the user sets by scrolling through available delivery rate values. The user can then activate theNext function 200 to add yet another new time interval or can activate theDone function 212 to return to theSummary display 324. In one embodiment, thepump 100 can include up to 48 time segments, although other embodiment will include more or fewer time segments. - To delete a time interval from the basal program, the user places the start-
time field 342 for the desired interval into focus and scrolls down until the time reads “--:--” 344. The user then activates theNext function 200 to index focus to the delivery-rate field 340. The user then scrolls the delivery rate down to 0.00348 and either activates theNext function 200 to index to another time interval for editing or activates theDone function 212 to return to theSummary display 324. - Additionally, both the
Summary user interface 324 and the Edit user interface 336 include atotal field 346 in which the total insulin scheduled to be delivered over a 24-hour period for that basal program is listed. The total insulin scheduled to be delivered is calculated by multiplying the delivery rate by the length of each time interval to calculate the total insulin to be delivered for each time interval by the basal program being edited. The total insulin to be delivered for each time interval is then summed to calculate the total insulin scheduled to be delivered over a 24-hour period. - Referring to
FIG. 14 , to begin a basal program the user indexes to theBasal Programs submenu 318 and selects the name of the desired basal program. The pump indexes to theBasal X submenu 322 and selects the Start Using menu item. The pump returns to theBasal Programs submenu 318 and sets thebutton 320′ for the newly activated basal program. Thepump 100 also clears thebutton 320 for the previously active basal program. - A temporary rate allows the user to temporarily raise or lower the delivery rate being administered by the active bolus program. The user can personalize or customize the temporary rate programs and how they are present in the user interface. Referring to
FIG. 15 , to personalize the temporary rate programs, the user accesses thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. - Selecting the Delivery menu item in the
Personalize submenu 222 causes thepump 100 to index to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302 and the user selects the Temporary Rate menu item. Thepump 100 then displays a display-temporary-rate field 350, which is placed in focus. The user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. If the user selects the no value, thepump 100 returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. If the user selects the yes value, thepump 100 indexes focus to program-temporary-rate-usingfield 352 in which the user scrolls between and selects either a Percent value and a Units/hr value. If the user selects the Percent value, thepump 100 sets the temporary rate delivery programs to increase and decrease the basal rate in terms of a percentage of the programmed basal rate and indexes focus to a give-reminder field. If the user selects the Units/hr value, thepump 100 sets the temporary rate delivery programs to increase and decrease the basal rate in terms of absolute units per hour and indexes focus to the give-reminder field. - When focus is on the give-reminder field 354, the user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. Selecting the yes value enables a temporary-rate reminder (either audible or vibratory) that is periodically generated while the
pump 100 is delivering a temporary rate. Focus then indexes to aninterval field 356 in which the user scrolls to and selects an interval that sets how frequently thepump 100 gives a reminder. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls between 5 minutes and 1 hour in increments such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 15 minutes. Upon selection of the interval, focus indexes to an end-temporary-rate-reminder field 358. Selecting the no value in the give-reminder field 358 disables the temporary-rate reminder and indexes focus directly from the give-reminder field 354 to the end-temporary-rate-reminder field 358. - Within the end-temporary-rate-
reminder field 358, the user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. If the user selects the yes value, thepump 100 enables generation of the reminder upon completion of the temporary rate. The reminder is either an audible or vibratory reminder when delivery at the temporary rate is complete. In one possible embodiment, the reminder upon completion of the temporary rate is different than the reminder given to indicate that the temporary rate is still running For example, an audible alarm might be longer, louder, or have a different sequence of beeps. Similarly, a vibratory alarm might be longer, stronger, or have a different sequence of vibrations. If the user selects the no value, thepump 100 disables the reminder. - The
pump 100 next indexes focus to a review/edit-custom-temporary-rate field 360. The user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. If the user selects the no value, the pump returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. If the user selects the yes value, the pump indexes to a display 362 entitled “Custom Temp Rate” and lists thename 364 of each customized temporary rate delivery program and displays acheck box 366 next to eachname 364. In one possible embodiment, there are four separate temporary rate programs. If a customized temporary rate program is enabled, thecheck box 366 for that delivery program is set. If a customized temporary rate program is disabled, thecheck box 366 for that temporary rate delivery program is cleared. When a customized temporary rate delivery program is enabled, it is displayed in the Temporary Basal Rates submenu 376 (FIG. 16 ) as described below and the user can then selectively execute the temporary rate delivery program through theTemporary Rates submenu 376. If the customized temporary rate delivery program is not enabled, it is not displayed in theTemporary Rates submenu 376 as described below and it cannot be executed. - To enable or disable a customized temporary rate program, the user scrolls to the
name 364 of the desired program and activates theEdit function 254. Thepump 100 indexes to a display 367 entitled “Custom Temp Rate: Temp Rate X,” where X is the number of the customized temporary rate program being edited. In the illustrated example, the title of the screen is “Custom Temp Rate:Temp Rate 3” becausetemporary rate 3 is being edited. The screen has four fields, an in-menu field 368, aname field 370, arate field 372, and aduration field 374. - The in-
menu field 368 is initially placed in focus. Within this field, the user scrolls to and selects either a yes value and a no value. If the user activates the no value, thepump 100 disables the customized temporary rate program associated with the screen 367 (Temporary Rate Program 3 in the illustrated example) and returns to the Custom Temp Rate display 362. Thecheck box 366 for the disabled temporary rate program is cleared. In one possible embodiment, if thepump 100 is actually executing the temporary rate program that the user attempts to disable, thepump 100 will not disable the program and will present an error message stating, “You may not disable the active temporary rate program.” - If the user selects the yes value in the in-
menu field 368, focus indexes to thename field 370. Within thename field 370, the user scrolls to and selects a name to assign the program. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through names such as Sick, Travel, Exercise, and the generic name Temp Rate X, where X is the number of the temporary rate program being edited. When the user has scrolled to the desired name, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100 indexes to therate field 372. - Within the
rate field 372, the user scrolls to and selects a percentage to modify the basal rate. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through percentages in the range from 0% to 250%. When the desired percentage is selected, focus indexes to theduration field 374. Within theduration field 374, the user scrolls to and selects a duration for which they would like the temporary rate to be active once it begins. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through rates in the range from 30 minutes to 72 hours. When the duration is selected, thepump 100 returns to the Custom Temp Rate display 362. - The user repeats this procedure from the Custom Temp Rate display 362 for each custom
temporary rate program 364 for which they desire to edit the enabled state, name, rate, or duration. When the user is done editing custom temporary rate programs, he or she activates theDone function 212. Thepump 100 then returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. As described below, the names of the enabled custom temporary rate delivery programs will then appear in asubmenu 376 entitled “Temporary Basal Rate”. - Referring to
FIG. 16 , a user activates a temporary rate by selecting the Temporary Rate menu item from themain menu 190. If the user has enabled any customized temporary rates as described above with reference toFIG. 15 , the pump indexes to a TemporaryBasal Rate submenu 376, which lists the standard temporaryrate delivery program 377 and all of the custom temporaryrate delivery programs 364 that are enabled. In the illustrated example, the two custom temporaryrate delivery programs 364 are 5 mile run and aerobics. The user scrolls to and selects the desired delivery program. - When the user selects a temporary rate program for execution, the
pump 100 indexes from the TemporaryBasal Rate submenu 376 to anedit screen 379. In an alternative embodiment, if there are not any customtemporary rate programs 364 enabled (i.e., only thestandard program 377 can be used), thepump 100 indexes directly from themain menu 190 to theedit screen 379 and skips the TemporaryBasal Rate display 376. - The
edit screen 379 has aduration field 378 that contains the duration for the temporary rate and a rate field 380 that contain data to set the temporary rate. If the temporary rate is one that was customized as described in conjunction withFIG. 15 , theduration field 378 contains the duration as it was initially set in the “Custom Temp Rate: Temp Rate X” display 367. Similarly, the rate field 380 initially contains the rate data originally set in the “Custom Temp Rate: Temp Rate X” display 367. The user can then adjust these values by using the scroll keys to change the values and the Next function to index from theduration field 378 to the rate field 380. In one possible embodiment, for example, the duration can be set in the range from 0 minutes to 72 hours, and the rate can be set in the range from about 0% to about 400% if percent is the rate factor (or from a rate of 0 units per hour to the maximum basal rate if the units per hour is the rate factor). - If the user selects the Standard temporary basal rate program, the
duration field 378 and rate field 380 are preprogrammed with a predetermined value that the user then adjusts to desired levels. If the temporary basal program is set to receive a percentage by which to adjust the basal rate, values in the rate field 380 arepercentages 381. If the temporary basal program is set to receive a new basal rate, values in the rate field 380 are in units/hr 381′. In one possible embodiment, for example, therate field 378 might be set at 100% (the current basal rate if units per hour is used) and the duration field 380 at 30 minutes. In another possible embodiment, the duration field 380 is preprogrammed at 0 minutes. - The user sets the duration, activates the
Next function 200, sets the rate, activates thenext function 200, and then thepump 100 indexes to aconfirmation screen 382 that lists the set duration and rate (as apercentage 383 or in units/hr 383′ depending on settings for the temporary rate program, for the temporary basal rate program. The user then activates a Deliverfunction 384 assigned to thesecond function key 140 and thepump 100 begins delivering insulin according to the operating parameters set in the temporary rate program. While the temporary rate is being delivered, thehome page 152 will display thedelivery rate 383′ as modified 162′ by the temporary rate and display abanner 384 stating that a temporary rate is active. In an alternative embodiment, if a custom temporary rate is active, the pump will display thename 364 assigned to the active custom temporary rate. - Referring to
FIG. 17 , the user can suspend an active temporary rate program by activating the Suspendfunction 172 on thehome page 152. As described above, thepump 100 prompts the user to select suspension of all delivery or just the temporary rate. The user highlights and selects the temporary rate. Thepump 100 then prints abanner 386 indicating how much time remains in the duration of the temporary rate and prompting the user to confirm suspension. The user confirms suspension by activating the yes function 178. Thepump 100 then suspends delivery at the temporary rate and returns to pumping that according to the normalbasal rate 160. If the user activates the nofunction 180, thepump 100 will continue delivering according to the temporary rate and will return to thehome page 152 with abanner 384 stating that the temporary rate is active and a display of the temporarybasal rate 162′. - In addition to delivering a basal rate the
pump 100 may administer a bolus to lower the user's blood glucose level. One possible embodiment of thepump 100 can deliver two types of boluses, a correction bolus and a meal bolus. The correction bolus delivers a dose of insulin over and above the basal rate to lower or correct the user's blood glucose level if it becomes too high. A meal bolus is a dose of insulin delivered in anticipation of consuming a meal to counteract the effects that the meal may have on the user's blood glucose. - Referring to
FIG. 18 , the user can personalize or customize the correction bolus program and how the program is presented in the user interface. To personalize the temporary rate programs, the user accesses thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. - Selecting the Correction Bolus menu item causes the
pump 100 to display a main-menu field 388, and places it in focus. The user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. The yes value enables a Correction Bolus menu item in themain menu 190, and a no value disables the Correction Bolus menu item in themain menu 190. Upon selecting the yes or no value, focus indexes to a meal-bolus field 390 in which the user scrolls to and selects either a yes value or a no value. A yes value enables the user to set a correction bolus through the meal bolus delivery program as described below. A no value disables the ability to set a correction bolus through the meal bolus delivery program. - Upon selecting a yes or no value in the meal-bolus field 390, focus indexes to a
units field 392 in which the user scrolls to and selects units for measuring blood glucose levels in either mg/dL and mmol/L. Upon selecting the units, focus indexes to a correction-bolus-factor field 394 in which the user scrolls to and selects a desired correction factor. The correction factor is the amount that the user's blood glucose drops for each unit of delivered insulin. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through values ranging from 5 mg/dL to 200 mg/dL (or 0.2 mmol/L to 12 mmol/L). When the desired correction factor is set, focus indexes to a duration-of-activity field 398. - Additionally, the
pump 100 calculates the average correction value for a predetermined number of days beginning with the previous day and extending backwards in time, and then displays 396 the average correction factor together with the correction-bolus-factor field 394. In the illustrated example, thepump 100 displays the average correction factor for the previous seven days. As discussed above, other embodiments average the correction factor over other periods of time. In yet other embodiments the user can select the period of time over which to average the correction factor. Within the duration-of-activity field 398, the user scrolls to and selects the duration of time over which insulin remains in the user's body. This amount will vary from user to user depending on a variety of factors including physical traits of the user and the type of insulin that is used. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through durations in the range from 2 hours to 6 hours. When the duration is set, thepump 100 returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. - Referring now to
FIG. 19 , the user delivers a correction bolus by selecting the correction bolus menu item from themain menu 190. Thepump 100 then displays anamount field 400 in which the user enters the amount by which they would like to lower their blood glucose. The user scrolls to and selects the desired amount. Thepump 100 then calculates a recommended bolus and indexes focus to a recommend-bolus field 402. Thepump 100 also displays abanner 403 with the recommend-bolus field 402 which reads “Bolus to Lower BG X?” where X is the amount that the user entered to lower his or her blood glucose. Thepump 100 calculates the recommended bolus according to the equation: -
- and displays the recommended correction bolus in the recommend-bolus field 402. The user can adjust the recommended correction bolus by incrementing the recommend amount up or down using the up and down
keys 142 and 144, respectively. - When the desired correction bolus is displayed in the recommend-bolus field 402, the user activates the Deliver
function 384 and thepump 100 presents averification display 404 that presents the bolus amount and a countdown timer. Thepump 100 also assigns astop function 406 to thefirst function key 138. - The
pump 100 then counts down a predetermined period of time, such as 5 seconds, and begins to deliver the bolus after the countdown timer times out. If the user activates theStop function 406 while the timer is still counting down, thepump 100 will cancel delivery of the bolus and return to thehome page 152. - During delivery of the bolus, the
pump 100 displays abanner 408 in the screen stating the bolus is delivering and the amount of the bolus. Thepump 100 then returns to thehome page 152 after delivery of the bolus is complete. - Additionally, the
pump 100 has a duration of activity program that determines whether any bolus that was previously delivered is still active. If a previous bolus is still active, thepump 100 calculates the estimated amount of insulin that is still active in the patient's body according to the equation: -
- if (Duration-Time Since Last Bolus)≧0, otherwise Residual Insulin=0. where Residual Insulin is the amount of insulin from a previous correction bolus still active within the user's body, Last Bolus Amount is the amount of the last correction bolus, Duration is the duration of insulin, which is set as described in conjunction with
FIG. 15 , and Time Since Last Bolus is the amount of time lapsed since the last correction bolus was delivered. Additionally, there could be more than one correction boluses still active within the user's body. In this situation,equation 2 is used to calculate the residual insulin from each of the still active correction boluses and the amount of residual insulin for each of the previous correction boluses is summed to determine Residual Insulin. - The
pump 100 then calculates an adjusted correction bolus according to the equation: -
Reduced Correction Bolus=Correction Bolus−Residual Insulin (3) - The
pump 100 then displays the reduced recommended corrected bolus in the correction-bolus field 402 rather than the recommended correction bolus. The display also presents a banner (not shown) with the recommended-bolus field that indicates that the recommended bolus is reduced to accommodate residual bolus insulin that is still working in the user's body. An example of such a banner is “*reduced for insulin on-board”. - In an alternative embodiment, when the user selects the Correction Bolus menu item from the
main menu 190, thepump 100 indexes to a display that presents the correction factor, displays the user's target blood glucose level, and displays a current-blood-glucose field that prompts the user to enter the user's current blood glucose level. The user scrolls to and selects their current blood glucose level. Thepump 100 then calculates the appropriate amount of the bolus to lower the user's blood glucose level to the target value and then presents the verification display. In this embodiment, thepump 100 calculates the desired drop in the glucose level, and thepump 100 calculates the correction bolus according to the equation: -
- A meal bolus is a bolus that the pump delivers in anticipation of a meal that the user plans to consume. In one possible embodiment, the amount of the meal bolus is based on how much insulin is required to work against the carbohydrates that the user plans to consume. There are several types of meal bolus programs that the
pump 100 may include. One type is a standard bolus in which thepump 100 delivers the meal bolus a predetermined time prior to when the user consumes the meal or snack. The standard program delivers the bolus at the maximum rate that thepump 100 is able to deliver it. As explained below, the standard program can be set for programming in either units of insulin or number of carbohydrates. Another type of meal bolus that thepump 100 can be programmed to deliver is an extended bolus in which thepump 100 delivers the meal bolus over an extended period. Yet another type of meal bolus that thepump 100 can be programmed to deliver is a combination bolus in which thepump 100 immediately delivers a portion of the meal bolus and the balance of the meal bolus over an extended period of time. - Referring to
FIG. 20 , to instruct thepump 100 to program the standard meal bolus in units of insulin and to otherwise personalize the meal bolus program, the user accesses thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. From thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302, the user selects the Meal Bolus menu item and thepump 100prompts 410 the user to select whether to program in units of insulin or carbohydrates. The user selects units of insulin. Thepump 100 then prompts 412 the user to select the maximum bolus that can be delivered. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through values in the range between 0 units and 40 units of insulin in increments of 1 until the desired value is highlighted. Next, thepump 100 prompts 414 the user to select the increments in which the user can select the actual bolus to be delivered. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls between 0.05 units, 0.10 units, 0.50 units, and 1.00 units. - The
pump 100 then prompts 416 the user to select whether to enable an extended bolus program and to display an Extended Bolus menu item within a Meal Bolus submenu 434 (FIG. 21 ). The extended bolus program is selected by selecting a yes value and disabled by selecting a no value. Thepump 100 also prompts 418 the user to select whether to enable a combination bolus program and to display a Combo Bolus menu item within theMeal Bolus submenu 434. The combination bolus program is activated by selecting a yes value and is disabled by selecting a no value. Thepump 100 then prompts 420 the user to choose whether to enable an audio bolus program. The user selects a yes value to enable the audio bolus program and selects a no value to disable the audio bolus program. - If the
pump 100 is preprogrammed with one or more custom meal boluses, the pump prompts 422 the user to select whether to review or edit a custom bolus. If the user does not want to review or edit a custom bolus, the user selects no and thepump 100 returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. If the user selects yes, thepump 100 presents a display 424 entitled “Custom Bolus,” which lists the names 426 of the available custom meal bolus programs. The display 424 also presents a check box 428 for each of the custom meal bolus programs 426. If a custom meal bolus program 426 is enabled, the check box 428 is set. If a custom meal bolus program 426 is not enabled, the check box 428 is cleared. When a custom meal bolus is enabled, it is displayed in the Meal Bolus submenu 434 as a separate menu item. If the custom meal bolus program is not enabled, it is not displayed in theMeal Bolus submenu 434 and the user cannot execute the program. - To enable or disable a meal bolus program, the user scrolls to the desired custom meal bolus program and activates the
Edit function 254. Thepump 100 presents adisplay 430 entitled “Custom Bolus: X,” where X is the name of the selected custom meal bolus program. In the illustrated example, the title of the display is Custom Meal Bolus: Pizza”. Upon activating theEdit function 254, thepump 100prompts 432 the user to select either a yes value or no value. If the user selects the yes value, thepump 100 enables the custom meal bolus program 426 and displays the name of the program as a menu item in theMeal Bolus submenu 434. If the user selects the no value, thepump 100 disables the custom meal bolus program 426 and does not display the name of the program as menu item in theMeal Bolus submenu 434. After the yes or no value is selected, thepump 100 returns to the “Custom Bolus” display 424. - The user repeats this procedure from the “Custom Bolus” display 424 for each custom meal bolus program 426 for which they desire to change the enabled state. When the user is done changing the enabled states for the available custom meal bolus programs 426, the user activates the

FIG. 21 illustrates administration of a standard meal bolus when thepump 100 is set to program meal boluses using units of insulin. The user selects the meal bolus menu item from the main menu, and the pump indexes to aMeal Bolus submenu 434. Themeal bolus submenu 434 lists the available meal bolus programs. Examples include the standard meal bolus program, the extended meal bolus program, the combination meal bolus program, and any enabled custom meal bolus programs. In the illustrated example, only the extended meal bolus program is enabled and thus theMeal Bolus submenu 434 includes a Standard Bolus and an Extended Bolus. The user highlights the Standard Menu item and thepump 100prompts 436 the user to enter the number of units to deliver. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through values in the range from 0 units to 17 units in increments of 0.5 units. - If the
pump 100 is programmed to enable administration of a correction bolus through the Meal Bolus program, thepump 100prompts 436 the user to enter the number of units to deliver as a meal bolus. The user then activates the Deliverfunction 384 and thepump 100prompts 438 the user to enter the amount by which they want to lower their blood glucose level. In one possible embodiment, the user enters the amount by scrolling through values in units of either mg/dL or mmol/L. When the desired drop in blood glucose is entered, the user activates theNext function 200, which causes thepump 100 to calculate a recommended bolus amount and to display a user interface with thebanner 439 stating “Bolus to Lower BG X plus Y meal bolus.” X is the amount the user entered to lower the blood glucose level, and Y is the amount of the meal bolus entered by the user. - The user interface also displays the recommended
bolus amount 440 to deliver. The recommendedbolus amount 440 is the recommended correction bolus as calculated above, plus the amount of the meal bolus. This feature allows the user to correct a high blood glucose level and deliver additional insulin to work against carbohydrates that they plan to consume. The user can adjust the recommended bolus amount by increasing or decreasing the recommended bolus amount by scrolling up or down. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls in increments of 0.5 units. Once the desired bolus amount is set, the user activates the Deliverfunction 384. - Activating the Deliver
function 384 causes thepump 100 to start a countdown timer and display abanner 404 that states a bolus will be delivered in predetermined time. In one possible embodiment, that time is 5 seconds and thepump 100 displays the bolus amount in thebanner 404. An example of a possible banner states “Bolus X Delivery Starts in 5 Seconds,” where X is the bolus amount. Thepump 100 also assigns aStop function 406 to thefirst function key 138. - If the user activates the
Stop function 406 before the countdown timer times out, thepump 100 will terminate delivery of the bolus and return to thehome page 152. If the user does not activate theStop function 406, when the timer times out, thepump 100 will begin to deliver the bolus and display abanner 408 stating that the bolus is being delivered. An example of such a banner is “Bolus X is Delivering”, where X is the bolus amount. When delivery of the bolus is complete, thepump 100 returns to thehome page 152. - In an alternative embodiment, when the
pump 100 is programmed to enable administration of a correction bolus through a Meal Bolus, thepump 100 displays a user interface entitled Current Blood Glucose.” Thepump 100 calculates the current correction factor and displays the correction factor in the user interface. Thepump 100 also displays the target blood glucose level. The user then enters his or her current blood glucose level in units of either mg/dL or mmol/L, by scrolling through a range of values until the current blood glucose level is displayed. In this embodiment, the target blood glucose level and the appropriate units are programmed into thepump 100 when personalizing the correction bolus program as described herein. Once the user enters the current blood glucose level, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100 calculates a recommended bolus amount, using the equations set forth above, and adds it to the meal bolus. Thepump 100 displays the user interface with the banner “Bolus to Lower BG X plus Y Meal Bolus” 439. The user can then change theamount 440 and activate the Deliverfunction 384 to begin delivery of the bolus as described above. - Additionally, in one possible embodiment, the
pump 100 adjusts the recommended bolus based on the meal bolus or the meal bolus plus the correction bolus to accommodate insulin on board or residual insulin that is still working within the user's body. In this embodiment, the amount of the adjusted correction bolus is adjusted using the equations described above in conjunction with the duration-of-activity function. The methods of adjusting the bolus amount for insulin on board is described above. - Referring to
FIG. 22 , to instruct thepump 100 to program the standard meal bolus in number of carbohydrates consumed and to otherwise personalize the meal bolus program, the user accesses thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. From thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302, the user selects the Meal Bolus menu item and thepump 100 then prompts 442 the user to select whether to program in units of insulin or carbohydrates. The user highlights units of carbohydrates and activates theNext function 200. Thepump 100 prompts 444 the user to enter their carbohydrate ratio, which is the number or grams of carbohydrates that each unit of insulin will counteract. Thepump 100 also calculates the historicalaverage carbohydrate ratio 445 for a predetermined time-period and displays that historical average with the prompt 444. In one possible embodiment, the historical average is for the previous 7-day period. As discussed above, other embodiments average the carbohydrate ratio over other periods of time. In yet other embodiments the user can select the period of time over which to average the carbohydrate ratio. - The user enters the carbohydrate ratio by scrolling through values in a predetermined range such as from 0 gm/u to 50 gm/u in increments of 1. When the desired number of carbohydrates is set, the user activates the
Next function 200 and thepump 100 prompts 446 the user to set the increment by which the user would like to be able to scroll through the number of carbohydrates when programming thepump 100 to deliver a meal bolus. In one possible embodiment, the user can set the desired increment between 1 and 15 grams. - The
pump 100 prompts 448 the user to enter the maximum bolus that can be delivered. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through values in the range between 0 units and 40 units of insulin in increments of 1 until the desired value is highlighted. Thepump 100 then prompts 450 the user to enter the increments in which the user can select the actual bolus to be delivered. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls between 0.05 units, 0.10 units, 0.50 units, and 1.00 units and activates theNext function 200. - The pump prompts 452 the user to select whether to enable an extended bolus program and to display an Extended Bolus menu item within the

The user selects a yes value to enable the audio bolus program and selects a no value to not enable the audio bolus program and then activates thenext function 200. - If the
pump 100 is preprogrammed with one or more custom meal boluses, thepump 100 then prompts 458 the user to select whether to review or edit a custom bolus. If the user does not want to review or edit a custom bolus, the user selects no and thepump 100 returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. If the user selects yes, the pump indexes to adisplay 460 entitled “Custom Bolus,” which lists the names 462 of the available custom programs. In the illustrated example, there are four custom boluses available on the pump, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snack. - The screen also presents a check box 464 for each of the custom meal bolus programs 462. If a custom meal bolus program is enabled, the
pump 100 sets the check box 464. If a custom meal bolus program is not enabled, thepump 100 clears the check box 464. When a custom meal bolus program is enabled, it is displayed in the Meal Bolus submenu 434 as a separate menu item. If the custom meal bolus program is not enabled, it is not displayed in theMeal Bolus submenu 434 and the user cannot execute the custom meal bolus program. - To enable or disable a custom meal bolus program, the user selects the desired custom meal bolus program and activates the
Edit function 254. Thepump 100 indexes to a display 466 entitled “Custom Bolus: X,” where X is the name 462 of the selected custom meal bolus program. In the illustrated example, the title of the display 466 is Custom Meal Bolus: Breakfast”. The user interface 466 prompts 468 the user to instruct thepump 100 whether to display the custom meal bolus in the Meal Bolus submenu 434 by entering either a yes value or no value. If the user selects the yes value and activates thenext function 200, thepump 100 prompts 470 the user to enter the carbohydrate ratio to use with the custom meal bolus program. The value of the carbohydrate ratio 470 may or may not be the same value as the carbohydrate ratio 444. The user enters the carbohydrate ratio by scrolling through values in a predetermined range such as from 0 gm/u to 50 gm/u in increments of 1. When the desired number of carbohydrates is set, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100 returns to the “Custom Bolus”submenu 434. - If the user selects the no value at the prompt 468, the
pump 100 will not enable the custom meal bolus program and will not display menu item for the program in theMeal Bolus submenu 434. After the no value is entered, thepump 100 returns to the “Custom Bolus”display 460. - The user repeats this procedure from the “Custom Bolus”
display 460 for each custom bolus program for which they desire to change the enabled state. When the user is done changing the enabled states for the available custom meal bolus programs, the user activates theDone function 212. Thepump 100 then returns to thePersonalize Delivery submenu 302. - Additionally, in one possible embodiment, if there are no custom meal bolus programs available for the user to enable, the

The user selects the meal bolus menu item from themain menu 190, and the pump indexes to theMeal Bolus submenu 434. Themeal bolus submenu 434 lists the available meal bolus programs. Examples include the standard meal bolus program, the extended meal bolus program, the combination meal bolus program, and any enabled custom meal bolus programs. In the illustrated example, only the extended meal bolus program is enabled and thus the meal bolus submenu includes a Standard Bolus and an Extended Bolus. - The user selects the Standard Menu item and the
pump 100prompts 472 the user to enter the number of carbohydrates that the user plans to consume. The user interface also displays the current carbohydrate ratio 473. The user sets the desired number of carbohydrates. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through carbohydrates in the range from 0 grams to 225 grams. - The user then activates the
Next function 200 and thepump 100 calculates a recommended size for the meal bolus using the equation: -
- The
pump 100 displays 474 the recommended meal bolus. The user can then adjust the size of the meal bolus by scrolling up or down. In one possible embodiment, thepump 100 scrolls in increments of 1. Once the desired bolus amount is set the user activates the Deliverfunction 384. - When the
pump 100 is programmed to enable administration of a correction bolus through a Meal Bolus, thepump 100prompts 472 the user to enter the number of carbohydrates to be consumed. The user then activates theNext function 200, and thepump 100prompts 478 the user to enter the amount by which they want to lower their blood glucose level. The user then activates theNext function 200, which causes thepump 100 to calculate a recommended bolus amount and to display a user interface with abanner 482 stating “Bolus to Lower BG X plus Y grams of carbohydrates.” X is the amount by which the user entered to lower the blood glucose level, and Y is the number of carbohydrates that the user entered. - The
pump 100 also displays the recommendedbolus amount 480 to deliver. The recommendedbolus amount 480 is the recommended correction bolus plus the amount of the meal bolus. This feature allows the user to correct a high blood glucose level and deliver additional insulin to work against carbohydrates that they plan to consume. The user can adjust the recommended bolus amount by increasing or decreasing the recommended bolus amount by scrolling up or down. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls in increments of 0.5 units. Once the desired bolus amount is set, the user activates the Deliverfunction 384. - Activating the Deliver
function 384 causes thepump 100 to start the countdown timer and display thebanner 404 that states a bolus will be delivered in predetermined time. In one possible embodiment, that time is 5 seconds and thebanner 404 also states the bolus amount. An example of apossible banner 404 states “Bolus X Delivery Starts in 5 Seconds,” where X is the bolus amount. Thepump 100 also assigns aStop function 406 to thefirst function key 138. - If the user activates the
Stop function 406 before the countdown timer times out, thepump 100 will terminate delivery of the bolus and return to thehome page 152. If the user does not activate theStop function 406, when the timer times out, thepump 100 will begin to deliver the bolus and display thebanner 408 stating that the bolus is being delivered. An example of such a banner is “Bolus X is Delivering”, where X is the bolus amount. When delivery of the bolus is complete, the pump returns to thehome page 152. - In an alternative embodiment, when the
pump 100 is programmed to enable administration of a correction bolus through a Meal Bolus, thepump 100 prompts the user to enter their current blood glucose measurement. Thepump 100 calculates the current correction factor and also displays the correction factor and the target blood glucose level with the prompt. The user then enters his or her current blood glucose level in units of either mg/dL or mmol/L, by scrolling through a range of values until the current blood glucose level is displayed. In this embodiment, the target blood glucose level and the appropriate units are programmed into the pump when personalizing or customizing the correction bolus program. Once the user enters the current blood glucose level, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100 calculates a recommended bolus amount and adds it to the meal bolus. Thepump 100 displays the user interface with thebanner 482 “Bolus to Lower BG X plus Y grams of carbohydrates.” The user can then change the amount and activate the Deliverfunction 384 to begin delivery of the bolus as described above. - Additionally, in one possible embodiment, the
pump 100 adjusts the recommended bolus based on the meal bolus or the meal bolus plus the correction bolus to accommodate insulin on board or residual insulin that is still working within the user's body. In this embodiment, the amount of the adjusted correction bolus is adjusted using the equations described above in conjunction with the duration-of-activity function. The methods of adjusting the bolus amount for insulin on board is described herein. -
FIG. 24 illustrates administration of an extended bolus. The user selects the meal bolus menu item from themain menu 190, and thepump 100 indexes to aMeal Bolus submenu 434. Themeal bolus submenu 434 lists the available meal bolus programs including the extended bolus program. In the illustrated example, the extended meal bolus program and the combination bolus program are enabled and thus the meal bolus submenu includes menu items for a standard bolus, an extended bolus, and a combination bolus. - The user selects the Extended Bolus menu item and, when the
pump 100 is set to program in units of insulin, the pump prompts 484 the user to enter the number of units to deliver. In one possible embodiment, the user can scroll through values in the range from 0 units to 17 units in increments of 0.5 units. When the number of units for delivery are entered, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100prompts 486 the user to enter the duration of length of time over which the extended bolus is to be delivered. In one possible embodiment, the user enters a duration in the range of 0 minutes to 6 hours in increments of 30 minutes. - When the duration is set, the
pump 100 displays auser interface 488 that presents the programmedamount 490 of the extended bolus and theduration 492 over which it is to be delivered. To begin delivery of the extended bolus, the user activates the Deliverfunction 384. Thepump 100 then begins delivering the extended bolus and will complete delivery upon expiration of the duration. - Alternatively, when the
pump 100 is set to program in grams of carbohydrates, thepump 100prompts 484′ the user to enter the grams of carbohydrates that the user plans to consume rather than the units of insulin to deliver as an extended bolus. Thepump 100 also prompts 486 the user to enter the duration for the extended bolus Thepump 100displays 485 the carbohydrate ratio while prompting the user to enter the grams ofcarbohydrates 484′ and theduration 486. Thepump 100 then calculates a recommendedbolus amount 490′ using the carbohydrate ratio as described above and displays the recommendedbolus amount 490′, together with theduration 492 in a user interface that confirms the parameters for delivery of the extended bolus. The user can adjust the recommendedamount 490′ for the extended bolus by scrolling with the up and downkeys 142 and 144. The user activates the Deliverfunction 384 to begin delivery of the extended bolus using the parameters displayed in the user interface. - After delivery of the extended bolus begins, if the
pump 100 is programmed to enable administration of a correction bolus through the Meal Bolus program, thepump 100prompts 494 the user to enter the amount by which they want to lower their blood glucose level. The user then activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100prompts 496 the user to enter the number of units to deliver as a meal bolus. In one possible embodiment, the user enters the amount by scrolling through values in units of either mg/dL or mmol/L. When the desired drop in blood glucose is entered, the user activates theNext function 200, which causes thepump 100 to calculate a recommended bolus amount and to display the banner 497 “Bolus to Lower BG X.” X is the amount by which the user entered to lower the blood glucose level. - The prompt 496 initially displays the recommended bolus amount to deliver. The recommended bolus amount is the recommended
correction bolus pump 100 calculates using the correction factor as discussed above. This feature allows the user to correct a high blood glucose level and deliver additional insulin to work against carbohydrates that they plan to consume. The user can adjust the recommendedbolus amount 496 by increasing or decreasing the recommendedbolus amount 496 by using the up and downkeys 142 and 144. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls in increments of 0.5 units. Once the desired bolus amount is set, the user activates the Deliverfunction 384. - Activating the Deliver
function 384 causes thepump 100 to display thebanner 404 that states a bolus will be delivered in predetermined time. In one possible embodiment, that time is 5 seconds and thepump 100 displays thebolus amount 496 in the banner. An example of a possible user interface states “Bolus X Delivery Starts in 5 Seconds,” where X is the amount of the correction bolus. Thepump 100 also assigns theStop function 406 to thefirst function key 138. - If the user activates the
Stop function 406 before the countdown timer times out, thepump 100 will terminate delivery of the correction bolus and return to thehome page 152. In one possible embodiment, activating theStop function 406 will terminate delivery of the correction bolus, but not the extended bolus. If the user does not activate theStop function 406, when the timer times out, thepump 100 will begin to deliver the bolus and display thebanner 408 stating that the bolus is being delivered. An example of such a banner is “Bolus X is Delivering”, where X is the bolus amount. When delivery of the bolus is complete, thepump 100 returns to thehome page 152. - In an alternative embodiment, when the
pump 100 is programmed to enable administration of a correction bolus through a Meal Bolus, thepump 100 prompts the user to enter their current blood glucose measurement. Thepump 100 calculates the current correction factor and displays the correction factor in the user interface. Thepump 100 also displays the target blood glucose level. The user then enters his or her current blood glucose level in units of either mg/dL or mmol/L, by scrolling through a range of values until the current blood glucose level is displayed. In this embodiment, the target blood glucose level and the appropriate units are programmed into thepump 100 when personalizing the correction bolus program. Once the user enters the current blood glucose level, the user activates theNext function 200 and thepump 100 calculates a recommended bolus amount and adds it to the meal bolus. Thepump 100 displays the user interface with the banner “Bolus to Lower BG X plus Y Meal Bolus.” The user can then change the amount and activate the Deliverfunction 384 to begin delivery of the bolus as described above. - Additionally, in one possible embodiment, the
pump 100 adjusts the recommended correction bolus based on the meal bolus or the meal bolus plus the correction bolus to accommodate insulin on board or residual insulin that is still working within the user's body. In this embodiment, the amount of the adjusted correction bolus is adjusted using the equations described above in conjunction with the duration-of-activity function. The methods of adjusting the bolus amount for insulin on board is described herein. - Referring to
FIG. 25 , the user can suspend delivery of an extended bolus by activating the Suspendfunction 172 on thehome page 152. As described above, thepump 100 prompts the user to select suspension of all delivery or just the extended bolus. The user selects the extended bolus. Thepump 100 then prints thebanner 386 indicating how much time remains in the duration for the extended bolus and how much of the extended bolus remains to be delivered. Thepump 100 also prompts the user to confirm suspension. The user confirms suspension by activating theYes function 178. Thepump 100 then suspends delivery of the extended bolus and returns to pumping according to the normal basal rate. If the user activates the Nofunction 180, thepump 100 will continue delivering according to the extended bolus and will return to thehome page 152. - Referring to
FIG. 26 , delivery of a combination bolus is programmed into the pump in a manner similar to that of an extended bolus. However, the pump also prompts 498 the user to enter the proportion or percent of the bolus that thepump 100 delivers immediately upon activation of the Deliverfunction 384. To enter the proportion of the amount that is delivered immediately, the user scrolls through percentages until the desired percentage of the bolus for immediate delivery is set. In one possible embodiment, the user scrolls through percentages in the range from 0% to 100% in increments of 1. Additionally when programming the pump to deliver a combination bolus, thepump 100 displays 500 the percentage of the bolus that is to be delivered immediately in theconfirmation user interface 488. In an alternative embodiment, the user enters the proportion or percent of the bolus that thepump 100 delivers over an extended period. - Referring to
FIG. 27 , the user can suspend delivery of a combination bolus in a manner substantially similar to that of the extended bolus except that thepump 100 displays a combination bolus menu item in the suspend menu. The user selects the combination bolus menu item to suspend delivery of the combination bolus, and then confirms suspension of the combination bolus. - Referring to
FIG. 28 , if audio bolus delivery is enabled, the user can program delivery of a standard meal bolus using a single button. To program an audio bolus, the user presses 502 theaudio bolus button 125 once and thepump 100 begins the program for delivering a standard meal bolus. Thepump 100 then generates anaudible signal 504 in the form of a beep and starts a button-detection timer 506. In an alternative embodiment, thepump 100 does not generate theaudible signal 504 and starts the button-detection timer 506 immediately upon initially pressing theaudio bolus button 502. - The user then presses 512 the audio bolus button again to increment the amount to be delivered starting from 0. The user stops pressing the
audible bolus button 125 when the desired bolus amount is reached 518 and 520. The amount of the increment is the increment size the user set when personalizing the meal bolus program. Each time the audio bolus button is pressed, the amount of the bolus increases by one increment. - The button-detection timer is reset 514 every time the audible bolus button is pressed. If the
audible bolus button 125 is not pressed before the button-detection timer times out after the first time theaudible bolus button 125 is pressed, thepump 100 cancels 510 the programming sequence. If the button-detection timer times out 516 while the user is incrementing the bolus amount, thepump 100 determines that the proper bolus amount is set. Theaudio alarm 108 then generates a series ofbeeps 524 that includes one beep for each bolus increment that was entered. This series of beeps provides an audible confirmation regarding the amount of the meal bolus. - In one possible embodiment, after the last beep in the series of beeps, the
pump 100 generates a final beep 526 to signal the end of the series. The final beep 526 has a different tone or volume than the beeps in the series ofbeeps 524. In an alternative embodiment, thepump 100 does not generate thefinal beep 524. - If the amount of the bolus is correct, the user presses the
audio bolus button 125 again and the meal bolus program starts acountdown timer 528, which gives the user time to cancel delivery of the bolus. When the countdown timer times out 530, thepump 100 delivers 532 the meal bolus. - In an example, if the increment count is set at 0.5 units and the user desires to program a standard meal bolus of 2 units, the user would press the audio bolus once to initiate programming the standard meal bolus and then four more times to increment the bolus amount to 2 units. After the fourth button is pushed, the user pauses and the audible-button timer times out. The
pump 100 then generates a series of four beeps to signal that the bolus amount was incremented four times and a final beep to signal completion of the series of beeps. The countdown time would then begin to run, and thepump 100 would deliver a meal bolus of 2 units when the countdown timer times out. - Additionally, the bolus is set in either units of insulin or grams of carbohydrates depending on whether the
pump 100 is set for programming in units of insulin or grams of carbohydrates, respectively. If the pump is set to program meal boluses in units of insulin, then each increment using the meal bolus button increments the bolus amount in units of insulin. If the bolus is set in to program meal boluses in grams of carbohydrates, then each increment using themeal bolus button 125 increments the bolus amount in grams of carbohydrates. - In one possible embodiment, the
pump 100 displays the user interface that corresponds to the programming step being performed. For example, the user interface for entering the bolus amount is displayed after the user initiates the Audible bolus function by pressing the audible bolus button a first time. The bolus amount is initially set at 0. Every time the user presses theaudible bolus button 125 after the first time and before the audible-button timer times out, the bolus amount displayed in the user interface will increment one time. A confirmation banner 404 (FIG. 19 ) will be displayed while the series of confirmation beeps are generated, and the user interface displaying the countdown timer is displayed while the countdown timer is running Additionally, the Stop function is assigned to thefirst function key 138. Thepump 100 delivers the bolus and returns to thehome page 152 after the countdown timer times-out. - In one possible embodiment, the
pump 100 can communicate with a computer. The computer can upload information from thepump 100, including the historical information generated by and stored on thepump 100. The computer can archive the historical information and maintain a complete historical record about thepump 100. Additionally, the computer can generate various reports regarding use of thepump 100, including information about delivery rates, bolus amounts, and alarms. Additionally, the computer can operate a program that allows the user to enter operating parameters for the various delivery programs that are loaded on thepump 100 and to download those operating parameters to thepump 100. In yet another possible embodiment, the computer can be used to download delivery programs and software updates to thepump 100. - Referring to
FIG. 29 , in one possible embodiment, acomputer 534 is a desktop computer that is IBM PC compatible, although other computers can be used. For example, thecomputer 534 could be an Apple computer, portable computer, a hand-held computer, a mainframe computer, a computer that is connected to a network. Thecomputer 534 has amonitor 536, a storage device 538, and an infrared (IR) communication port 540. Thepump 100 communicates with the computer through theIR port 120 on thepump 100 and the IR communication port 540 of thecomputer 534. In other embodiments, thepump 100 andcomputer 534 communicate through other types of data links such as a wireless or radio frequency (RF) connection or a wired connection such as USB, RS232, Fire wire, etc. - Communication between a medical pump and a computer is also discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,935,099, the disclosure of which was incorporated by reference above.
- Referring to
FIG. 30A , the software operating on thecomputer 534 generates auser interface 542 that allows a user to view, edit, and enter operating parameters for the various delivery programs that are loaded on theinsulin pump 100. In one possible embodiment, theuser interface 542 has a plurality of stacked primary windows 544 a-544 e. Each primary window includes a tab 546 a-546 e and data entry features for entering profile settings for the delivery programs. A basal programs primary window 544 a is associated with the basal delivery programs, and is marked with a tab 546 a bearing the name Basal Programs. A meal boluses primary window 544 b is associated with the meal bolus delivery programs, and is marked with atab 546 b bearing the name Meal Boluses. A correction boluses primary window 544 c is associated with the correction bolus deliver programs, and is marked with atab 546 c bearing the name Correction Boluses. A temporary rates primary window 544 d is associated with the temporary rate delivery programs, and is marked withtab 546 d bearing the name Temporary Rates. - A primary window 544 can include a variety of different data entry features for entering the operating parameters including text, numbers, flags, or the like. Examples of the data entry features include buttons, check boxes, spin boxes, text fields, numeric fields, and tables. The buttons and check boxes are alternatively set and cleared by clicking on them with a pointing device such as a mouse. Each spin box is associated with up and down buttons and contains a list of values. The user sets the desired value by spinning though the list of values with the up and down keys until the desired value is visible in the spin box. The tables have rows of cells and a scroll bar. The user can manipulate the scroll bar with a pointing device to scroll through the available rows within the table. Additionally, each primary window has a download button, an upload button, and a save button.
- The primary window on the top of the stack is active, and the user can enter, edit, and view operating parameters in the active primary window. The user can bring any one of the primary windows to the top of the stack by clicking on the primary window's tab.
- Still referring to
FIG. 30A , the first primary window 544 a, which is for setting the operating parameters for the basal programs, has three panels. Thefirst panel 548 has a spin box 550 for setting the maximum basal rate for the insulin pump. The spin box 550 is displayed in a first group box 549. The user spins though available values until the desired maximum basal rate is visible within the spin box 550. The maximum basal rate set in the spin box will apply to all of the basal delivery programs. In the illustrated example, there are four possible basal delivery programs. The first spin box 550 is present in a first group box. - The
second panel 552 of the screen has one secondary window 554 a-554 d for each of the basal delivery programs. The secondary windows are stacked and are marked with tabs 556 a-556 d. Each tab 556 is marked with the name of the basal program associated with the tab's secondary window 554. The secondary window 554 on the top of the stack is active, and the user can enter, edit, and view operating parameters in the active secondary window. The user clicks on the tab 556 for any given secondary window to bring it to the top of the stack. In the illustrated example, there are four basal delivery programs and hence four secondary windows named Basal 1554 a, Basal 2554 b, Basal 3554 c, and Basal 4554 d. - Each secondary window 554 has a button 558, a check box 560, and a
text field 562 organized into a second group box 564 for setting program preferences. A table 566 and agraph 568 are organized into a third group box 570 and are for naming, setting, and viewing the basal delivery rates. To activate a basal delivery program, the user sets the button 558 by clicking on it. Any other basal program that was active becomes inactive and the button for the previously active basal delivery program is cleared. Additionally, an asterisk is placed in the tab 556 for the active basal delivery program so that the user can easily identify the active basal delivery program if the secondary window 554 for that basal delivery program is not on top of the stack. When the operating parameters for the basal delivery programs are downloaded to thepump 100, the basal delivery program in which the button 558 is set will become the active basal delivery program on thepump 100. - To display the basal delivery program as a menu item in the Basal Program submenu 318 (
FIG. 13 ) on thepump 100, the user sets the checkbox 560. When the operating parameters for the basal programs are downloaded to thepump 100, the name for the basal program is displayed as a menu item in theBasal Program submenu 318. - To customize the name of the basal delivery program, the user types the custom name into the
text field 562. The custom name is assigned to the basal delivery program and appears in the tab 556 for that program. Additionally, the custom name is the name downloaded into thepump 100 and appears in theBasal Program submenu 318, if the checkbox 560 is set. In an alternative embodiment, a spin box is associated with thetext field 562. The spin box presents preprogrammed, optional names for the basal delivery programs that the user can select. The selected name would then replace the generic name (e.g.,Basal 1,Basal 2,Basal 3, andBasal 4 in the illustrated example) for the program associated with the display. Examples of optional names that might be loaded in thepump 100 include weekday, weekend, sick, and monthly (which is to designate a basal delivery program set for a woman's menstrual cycle). - The basal rate table 566 or grid has a plurality of
rows 572 and each row has two cells 574 and 576. When a cell within the table 566 has focus and the user presses the enter key or the tab key, the focus shifts to the next cell to the right. If the current cell is the last cell in the row, focus shifts to the first cell in the next row. If the user presses the enter key while the last cell in the last row is in focus, a new row is created. In this manner, the user can expand the length of the table 572. If the user presses the enter key while the last cell of a row is in focus and there is no data in any cell within that row, the computer will delete the row. The one exception is the first row in the table, which cannot be deleted. - The first cell within a row is a start-time cell 574, and the second cell within a row is a delivery-rate cell 576. Each row corresponds to a different interval in the delivery protocol for the basal delivery program. To set the delivery protocol for a basal program, the user enters the start time for each delivery interval in the start-time cell 574 and the delivery rate in the delivery-rate cell 576. The
pump 100 will then deliver at the set delivery rate beginning at the set start time and until the start time for the next delivery interval. In one possible embodiment, the start time for the first interval is 12:00 midnight and cannot be changed. - Accordingly, to set the delivery protocol for the basal delivery program, the user types the start time in the start-time cell 574, hits the enter key and changes the focus to the delivery-rate cell 576 to the right. The user then types in the delivery rate for that interval, hits the cell key, and changes the focus to the start-time cell in the next row (creating the row if the next row does not already exist). A new row will appear in which the user can enter the operating parameters for another delivery interval. The user continues this process until the operating parameters for all of the desired intervals are entered into the table.
- In an alternative embodiment, when a cell has focus, a spin box having up and down buttons is presented in that cell. The user can either type a value into the spin box or spin through values until a desired value is visible in the spin box. When the cell and hence the spin box loses focus, the visible value from the spin box is entered into the corresponding cell and the spin box becomes invisible.
- The
graph 568 provides a graphical illustration of the delivery rate for the basal delivery program over a 24-hour period. In one possible embodiment, thegraph 568 is a bar chart illustrating the delivery rate in a resolution of 30 minutes. In the illustrated example,Basal 1 is set to deliver 2 units/hour from 12:00 midnight to 2:00 am, 2.5 units/hour from 2:00 am to 3:00 am, etc. - In one possible embodiment, the
graph 568 is automatically updated as the user completes entering the start time and delivery rate for each delivery interval. Additionally, the total daily basal rate is displayed 578, and is automatically calculated and updated as the user completes entering the start time and delivery rate for each delivery interval. Entry of data for an interval is complete when the user enters the start time and delivery rate for the interval and exits both the start-time cell 574 and the delivery-rate cell 576. - The third panel 580 presents instructions to the user. In one possible embodiment, the user interface presents a help label 582 (e.g., the question mark in the illustrated example) in each of the group boxes 549, 564, and 570. When the user clicks on a
help label 582, instructions specific to the group box or other aspects of the user interface associated with the help label are presented in the third panel. Alternatively, the user can point to a particular aspect of the user interface and right click on the mouse to present field-specific instructions in the third panel. -
FIG. 30B illustrates the second primary window 544 b, which is for setting the operating parameters of the meal bolus delivery programs. The meal bolus primary window includes two panels. The first panel 584 has apair buttons 586, afirst spin box 588, a second spin box 590, athird spin box 592, a fourth spin box 594, afirst check box 596, asecond check box 598, a third check box 600, and a meal bolus table 602. - The pair of
buttons 586 and spinboxes check boxes second group box 606, and the table 602 is present in a third group box 608. The pair ofbuttons 586 is for setting the meal bolus delivery program to use either units of insulin or grams of carbohydrates. The pair ofbuttons 586 toggle between set and cleared states so that when one is set the other cleared. The user set the first button to program the meal bolus programs in units of insulin and sets the second button to program the meal bolus programs in grams of carbohydrates. - The
first spin box 588 is for setting the maximum bolus that thepump 100 can deliver when executing the meal bolus program. The second spin box 590 is for setting the users carbohydrate ratio. Thethird spin box 592 is for programming in units of insulin and is for setting the increments at which a user can spin through bolus amounts. The fourth spin box 594 is for programming in grams of carbohydrates and is for setting the increments at which a user can spin through grams of carbohydrates to be consumed in a meal. - When the user sets the first button for programming in units of insulin, the
third spin box 592 is enabled, and the second 590 and fourth 594 spin boxes are disabled. When the user sets the second button for programming in grams of carbohydrates, the second 590 and fourth 594 spin boxes are enabled, and thethird spin box 592 is disabled. - To enable the extended bolus program, the user sets the
first check box 596. To enable the combination bolus program, the user sets thesecond check box 598. To enable the audio bolus function, the user sets the third check box 600. - The custom meal bolus table 602 has a plurality of
rows 610, each row has a plurality of cells. The user navigates through the meal bolus table 602 using procedures substantially similar to that of the basal rate table. Also similar to the basal rate table, the custom meal bolus table 602 can have various spin boxes that become visible when a cell has focus. The spin boxes are for entering values and pre-typed text into the cell with which it is associated. - Within the meal bolus table 602, each row has seven cells. The first cell 612 has a
check box 613. To enable the custom meal bolus defined by that row, the user sets thecheck box 613. Thesecond cell 614 has a text field in which the user types a name to identify the custom meal bolus defined by that row. An example includes pizza, when the operating parameters for the custom meal bolus are customized to deliver insulin for working against a meal of pizza. Other examples, might include breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or any other specific type of food, drink, or meal. - The
third cell 616 contain a text field for entering the type of custom meal bolus, whether it is a standard bolus, an extend bolus, or a combination bolus. In one possible embodiment, a spin box is presented in thethird cell 616 when focus is placed on the cell. The user can then spin through the types of bolus (e.g., standard, extended, or combination) and set the desired type. The fourth cell 618 is a numeric field for entering the number of units to be delivered by the bolus program defined by that row. Thefifth cell 620 is a time field in which the user enters the duration of the bolus delivery if the bolus program defined by that row is an extended bolus or a combination bolus. The sixth cell 622 is a numeric field in which the user enters the percent of the bolus to be delivered immediately if the bolus program defined by that row is a combination bolus. - The
seventh cell 624 is a numeric field in which the user enters the carbohydrate ratio thepump 100 is to use when calculating the bolus amount to deliver. Theseventh cell 624 allows the user to enter a customized carbohydrate ratio independent of the value set in the second spin box 590. For example, a user might use one carbohydrate for a custom meal bolus to be delivered before an early morning breakfast and a different carbohydrate ratio for a custom meal bolus to be delivered before an evening dinner or snack. - If the type of meal bolus set in the third cell (Type of Meal Bolus) 616 is standard, the fifth cell (Duration) 620 and sixth cell (% as Immediate) 622 are disabled and cleared. If the type of meal bolus set in the
third cell 616 is an extended bolus, thefifth cell 620 is enabled and the sixth cell 622 is disabled and cleared. If the type of meal bolus set in thethird cell 616 is set as a combination bolus, the fifth 620 and sixth 622 cells are enabled. - Additionally, because a meal bolus delivery program execute operating parameters that are in either units of insulin or grams of carbohydrate, any given
row 610 in the meal bolus table 602 can accept a value in either the fourth cell 618 for units of insulin or theseventh cell 624 for the carbohydrate ratio. If the fourth cell 618 is populated with a value, theseventh cell 624 is disabled. If theseventh cell 624 is populated with a value, the fourth cell 618 is disabled. In one possible embodiment, when the user sets the first button for programming in units of insulin, thecheck box 613 is set in the first cell 612 for eachrow 610 in which there is a units of insulin value in the fourth cell 618. Thecheck box 613 in the first cell 612 is cleared for eachrow 610 in which there is a carbohydrate value in theseventh cell 624. Similarly, when the user sets the second button for programming in grams of carbohydrates, thecheck box 613 is set in the first cell 612 for eachrow 610 in which there is a carbohydrate value in theseventh cell 624. Thecheck box 613 in the first cell 612 is cleared for eachrow 610 in which there is a units of insulin value in the fourth cell 618. - The second panel 626 in the primary window 544 b for the meal bolus delivery programs presents instructions. It operates in a manner substantially similar to the third, instruction panel 580 in the first primary window 544 a for the basal rate delivery programs as described above.
-
FIG. 30C illustrates the third primary window 544 c, which is for setting the operating parameters for the correction bolus delivery program. The primary window 544 c contains two panels. Thefirst panel 628 has buttons, check boxes, and spin boxes. Afirst group box 630 in thefirst panel 628 has first andsecond check boxes 632 and 634. To control thepump 100 to make the correction bolus delivery program available through themain menu 190 and to display a correction bolus menu item in themain menu 190, the first check box 632 is set. To make the correction bolus program available through the meal bolus delivery programs described above, thesecond check box 634 is set. - A pair of buttons 636 set the units for the operating parameters used by the correction bolus program. The pair of buttons 636 toggle between set and cleared states so that when one is set the other is cleared. The first button is set to use mg/dL and the second button is set to use mmol/l. A first spin box 638 is for setting the correction bolus factor. When the first spin box 638 is in focus, the user spins through value until the desired correction factor is set. The pair of buttons 636 and the first spin box 638 are organized into a second group box 640.
- A second spin box 642 is for setting the duration of activity or action for the insulin. As discussed above, the duration of activity is the length of time that each bolus remains working in the user's body. To enter the duration of activity, the user spins through values in the second spin box 642 until the desired value is set. The second spin box 642 is in a third group box 644.
- The
second panel 646 in the primary window 544 c for the correction bolus delivery program presents instructions. It operates in a manner substantially similar to the third, instruction panel 580 in the first primary window 544 a for the basal rate delivery programs as described above. -
FIG. 30D illustrates the fourth primary window 544 d, which is for setting operating parameters for the temporary rate programs. The primary window 544 d has two panels. The first panel 648 has a first check box 650, a second check box 652, a third check box 654, a pair of buttons 656, a spin box 658, and a temporary rate table 660. The first check box 650 and pair of buttons 656 are in afirst group box 662. The second 652 and third 654 check boxes and the spin box 658 are in a second group box 664. The table 660 is in a third group box 666. - The pair of buttons 656 sets the temporary rate either as a percentage of the running basal rate or as a new temporary basal rate. The pair of buttons 656 toggle between set and cleared states so that when one button is set the other button is cleared. The user sets the first button to set the temporary rate as a percent of the basal rate. The user sets the second button to set the temporary rate as a new, temporary basal rate.
- To set a reminder so that the
pump 100 intermittently generates a reminder (audible and/or vibratory) while the temporary rate program is running, the user sets the second check box 652. When the second check box 652 is set, the spin box 658 is enabled. The spin box 658 is for setting the interval between reminders. The spin box 658 is disabled when the second check box 652 is cleared. To set thepump 100 to generate a final reminder upon completion of the temporary rate, the user sets the third check box 654. - The temporary rate table 660 has a plurality of
rows 668, and eachrow 668 contains a plurality of cells. The user navigates through the temporary rate table 660 using procedures substantially similar to that of the basal rate table. Also similar to the basal rate table 602, the temporary rate table 660 can have various spin boxes that become visible when a cell has focus. The spin boxes are for entering values and pre-typed text into the cell with which it is associated. - Within the temporary rate table 660, each row has six cells. The
first cell 670 has acheck box 672. To enable the temporary rate defined by that row, the user sets thecheck box 672. Thesecond cell 674 has a text field in which the user types a name to identify the temporary rate defined by that row. Examples might include exercise, 5-mile run, sick, evening, and the like. The third cell 676 is a text field to set the temporary rate to be programmed as a percent of current basal rate or as a new rate. In one possible embodiment a spin is present in the third cell 676 when focus is place on the cell. The user can then spin box through the types of temporary rates (e.g., % of Basal or New Rate) and set the desired type. - The
fourth cell 678 is for assigning the percentage of the running basal rate to set as the temporary rate. The fifth cell 680 is for setting a new rate for the temporary rate. When the user enters % of basal in the third cell 676, thefourth cell 678 is enabled and the fifth cell 680 is disabled. When the user enters New Rate in the third cell 676, thefourth cell 678 is disabled, and the fifth cell 680 is enabled. Thesixth cell 682 is for setting the duration of the temporary rate. - Additionally, in one possible embodiment, when the user sets the first button to adjust the delivery rate as a percent of the basal rate, the
check box 672 is set in thefirst cell 670 for eachrow 668 in which there is a percentage in thefourth cell 678. Thecheck box 672 in thefirst cell 670 is cleared for eachrow 668 in which there is a delivery rate value in the fifth cell 680. Similarly, when the user sets the second button to use a new delivery rate, thecheck box 672 is set in thefirst cell 670 for eachrow 668 in which there is a delivery rate value in the fifth cell 680. Thecheck box 672 in thefirst cell 670 is cleared for eachrow 668 in which there is a percentage value in thefourth cell 678. - The second panel 684 in the primary window 544 d for the temporary rate delivery programs presents instructions. It operates in a manner substantially similar to the third, instruction panel 580 in the first primary window 544 a for the basal rate delivery programs as described above.
- In addition to operating parameters, one possible embodiment of the
user interface 542 also enables a user to view, edit, and enter other data, character strings, and settings that are loaded on theinsulin pump 100. - For example,
FIG. 30E illustrates the fifth primary window 544 e, which is for setting the banner displayed in thehome page 152 of thepump 100. Primary window 544 e is in the stack of primary windows 544. The fifth primary window 544 e includes two panels. Thefirst panel 690 has afield check box 692 and atext field 694 mated to thecheckbox 692. To enter text into thehome page 152, the user sets thecheckbox 692 and enters text (numbers and letters as desired) into thetext field 694. If thepump 100 includesmultiple home pages 152 through which the user can scroll, an embodiment of the primary window 544 e includes acheckbox 692 andmating text field 694 for each of thehome pages 152. The user can then designate certain text for aparticular home page 152 by setting thecheckbox 692 associated with thathome page 152 and entering text into themating text field 694. In an alternative embodiment, if the text in thetext field 694 is too long to fit into one display, thepump 100 automatically generatesmultiple home pages 152 through which the user can scroll and divides the text from thetext field 694 between themultiple home pages 152. In another embodiment, similar text fields and associated checkboxes can be used to customize displays and messages for particular alarms, alerts, and reminders. - The second panel 696 in the primary window 544 e presents instructions. It operates in a manner substantially similar to the third, instruction panel 580 in the first primary window 544 a for the basal rate delivery programs as described above.
- Yet other embodiments of the
user interface 542 include various windows, buttons, checkboxes, spin boxes, and fields for setting other parameters used to operate thepump 100. Examples of such other parameters that can be set through theuser interface 542 include various format settings, alarms, reminders, operating limits, report formats, security settings, character strings, and indeed any other operating parameters, data, settings, and character strings that can be programmed into thepump 100. - Referring to
FIGS. 30A-30E , to download the operating parameters displayed in an active primary window 544, the user clicks on thedownload button 686. The operating parameters relating to the active primary windows are then downloaded into thepump 100 over the communication link. Thepump 100 returns the downloaded operating parameters to thecomputer 534, which compares the returned operating parameters to the sent operating parameters. If the returned and sent operating parameters match, thecomputer 534 sends a handshake signal to thepump 100 and the microprocessor 102 maps each of the downloaded operating parameters to its designated memory addresses inRAM 116 and saves the downloaded operating parameters inRAM 116. If the returned and sent operating parameters do not match, thecomputer 534 generates an error signal and sends the error signal to thepump 100. Thepump 100 then discards the downloaded operating parameters and preserves the preexisting operating parameters already stored inRAM 116. - To upload operating parameters from the
pump 100 into the active primary window 544, the user clicks the uploadbutton 688. The profile settings inRAM 116 that correspond to the active primary window 544 are then retrieved fromRAM 116 on thepump 100 and are sent to thecomputer 534. The uploaded operating parameters are then populated into the fields of the active primary window 544, including all secondary windows 554. To save the profile settings, the user clicks thesave button 690. The profile settings that populate the active primary window 544 then are saved in the storage device 538. In one possible embodiment, the name of the file that includes the saved data is the name of the pump user. - Furthermore, the
user interface 542 can be used on thecomputer 534 to program and managepumps 100 for several different pump users. In one such embodiment, thecomputer 534 is programmed with an initial interface that includes a text field in which the name of the pump user is entered either through the computer keyboard or through a spin box. Upon entering the name of the pump user, thecomputer 534 populates the data saved for that pump user'spump 100 into theuser interface 542. In an alternative embodiment, thecomputer 534 is loaded with a menu in which the name of each pump user having stored data is included as a menu item. Selecting the name/menu item causes thecomputer 534 to populate theuser interface 542 with data. - The various embodiments described above are provided by way of illustration only and should not be construed to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize various modifications and changes that may be made to the present invention without following the example embodiments and applications illustrated and described herein, and without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention, which is set forth in the following claims.
