  • Safety enhanced device and method for effecting application of a therapeutic agent
    Patent number: 5088981
    Abstract: Safety enhanced device and method are disclosed for effecting application of a therapeutic agent. A removable and operationally non-volatile programmable element is used to control operation of a therapeutic agent delivery unit. A computer, operationally independent of the delivery unit, is utilized to establish coded information for programming of the programmable element while removed from the delivery unit. Operation of the delivery unit according to the program then established for the programmable element is simulated at the computer prior to actual programming of the programmable element to insure the integrity of subsequent delivery of the therapeutic agent to a patient by the delivery unit. The programmable element effects independent delivery of therapeutic agents in each of a plurality of channels under the control of the programmable element.
