Abstract
Methods and apparatus for programming a medical infusion pump are disclosed. One method includes displaying a meter having two or more locations, each of the two or more locations representing a corresponding parameter value programmable into the medical infusion pump. The method further includes displaying an indicator having a selectable positional relationship to the meter, the selected position corresponding to a parameter value.
Claims15
An apparatus for programming a medical infusion pump comprising:
- a memory configured to store at least two parameter values programmable into the medical infusion pump;
- a monitor;
- a programmable circuit in electrical communication with the memory and the monitor, the programmable circuit programmed to display on the monitor a meter and an indicator, a first location and a second location on the meter each representing a corresponding parameter value defining a first range of permissible programmable parameter values and one or more additional locations on the meter representing a second range defining soft limits within the first range, the indicator having a selectable positional relationship to the meter within the range, a selected position of the indicator with respect to the meter corresponding to a parameter value programmable into the medical infusion pump.
An apparatus for programming a medical infusion pump comprising:
- a memory configured to store at least two parameter values programmable into the medical infusion pump and one or more hard limits;
- a monitor;
- a programmable circuit in electrical communication with the memory and the monitor, the programmable circuit programmed to:
- set one or more hard limits to define a first range of permissible parameter values for programming a medical infusion pump;
- set one or more soft limits to define a second range within the first range;
- and
- display on the monitor a meter and an indicator, the indicator having a positional relationship to the meter, a position of the indicator relative to the meter corresponding to a parameter value within the first range.
