Abstract
A controller in an ambulatory drug delivery device automatically creates gradual transitions between basal rates entered by a user. The user may enter at least two target basal rates and two corresponding durations for delivering a medication at each rate. Systems and methods for such drug delivery are described.
Claims23
A system for administering medication to a patient, comprising:
- an infusion pump;
- and
- software associated with the infusion pump configured to automatically provide a basal medication dosage profile that is based upon input from a user, the basal medication dosage profile comprising
- at least two target basal rates;
- a first duration for administering a medication to the patient at a first target basal rate;
- and
- a second duration for administering the medication at a second target basal rate;
- and
- at least one transition period over which a delivered basal rate gradually transitions between the target basal rates.

A method of delivering a medicament to a patient, comprising:
- accepting, from a user via software associated with an infusion pump, at least two rates of medicament delivery and periods of time during a 24 hour period corresponding to each rate of medicament delivery;
- generating a rate profile based upon the at least two rates of medicament delivery and periods of time using the software associated with the infusion pump;
- and
- providing the rate profile to a controller associated with the infusion pump to direct administration of the medicament to the patient,
- wherein the rate profile comprises a transition period between the at least two rates of medicament delivery over which a delivered rate gradually transitions between the two rates.
