Abstract: A pump operations module having a base function includes only base function programming in the module itself but is configured to autonomously execute advanced delivery programs stored in its buffer. An advanced interface module (AIM) is used to prepare the advanced delivery programs and upload them to the pump operations module as well as monitor the performance of those modules. However, the advanced interface module does not control the execution of those advanced delivery programs by the pump operations modules. In the event that the patient's condition requires a change in the present advanced delivery program, the AIM is used to create a revised advanced delivery program and upload it to the pump for storing and executing from the pump's buffer memory.

Abstract: A method for delivering medication includes programming an operations processor of a medication delivery operations module to control the base function of medication delivery of a delivery device at a selectable rate and a selectable volume. An advanced medication delivery program is created by an advanced program processor that is part of an advanced interface module (“AIM”) located with the operations module in the same housing, although the processors are separate. When the advanced delivery program is complete and in a buffer, the operations processor executes the stored advanced delivery program under which the operations processor automatically varies at least one of the rate of delivery and volume of delivery values in accordance with the advanced delivery program autonomously without being under real time control of, or dependent on, any remote processor or data source, including the AIM. Support for PK applications is provided.

Abstract: A pump operations module having a base function includes only base function programming in the module itself but is configured to receive advanced delivery programs in a buffer for execution autonomously. An advanced interface module (AIM) is used to prepare advanced delivery programs and upload them to one or more delivery modules as well as monitor the performance of those modules. However, the advanced interface module does not control the execution of those advanced delivery programs by the pump operations modules. The AIM includes a touch screen and access to drug libraries. The AIM will generate graphical slide controls on the touch screen with the minimum and maximum values on the touch screen for the user to create an advanced delivery program for upload, to greatly lessen the risk of errors. Support for PK applications is provided.
