Abstract
Methods of programming a pump and insulin pumps. One method include displaying a first screen on a display of the pump. The method also includes, upon displaying the first screen, emitting a first sound. The method further includes displaying a second screen on the display of the pump, the second screen different from the first screen. The method also includes, upon displaying the second screen, emitting a second sound different from the first sound.
Claims58
A method of programming a pump comprising:
- displaying a first screen on a display of the pump;
- upon displaying the first screen, emitting a first sound;
- displaying a second screen on the display of the pump, the second screen different from the first screen;
- and
- upon displaying the second screen, emitting a second sound different from the first sound.
2 more elements
A method of programming a pump comprising:
- providing a first key having a first function and a second key having a second function different from the first function;
- assigning a first sound to the first key;
- and
- assigning a second sound to the second key, the second sound different from the first sound.
1 more element
An insulin pump comprising:
- a pump mechanism;
- a memory configured to store a plurality of screens used in programming the pump, the plurality of screens including a first screen and a second screen;
- a display;
- a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory and the display, the programmable circuit programmed to:
- display a first screen on the display;
- upon displaying the first screen, emit a first sound;

An insulin pump comprising:
- a pump mechanism;
- a memory configured to store a plurality of screens used in programming the pump, the plurality of screens including a first screen and a second screen, the memory further configured to store a plurality of sounds including a first sound and a second sound;
- a programmable circuit arranged to control the pump mechanism and operatively connected to the memory, the programmable circuit programmed to:
- provide an up key and a down key for selecting a current value from an operational range having an upper threshold value and a lower threshold value;
- assign the first sound to the up key;
- assign the second sound to the down key, the second sound different from the first sound;
- upon detection of activation of the up key, emit the first sound;
- and
- upon detection of activation of the down key, emit the second sound;
- wherein the first sound has a higher pitch than the second sound.
