Multi-language/multi-processor infusion pump assembly

An infusion pump assembly comprising:

• a reservoir assembly configured to contain an infusible fluid;
• a motor assembly configured to act upon the reservoir assembly and dispense at least a portion of the infusible fluid contained within the reservoir assembly;
• processing logic configured to control the motor assembly;
• wherein the processing logic includes:
• one or more circuit partitioning components configured to divide the processing logic into primary processing logic and backup processing logic;
• a primary microprocessor included within the primary processing logic and configured to execute one or more primary applications written in a first computer language;
• a safety microprocessor included within the backup processing logic and configured to execute one or more safety applications written in a second computer language that is different than the first computer language;
• and
• a computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, on the primary microprocessor executing one or more applications written in a first computer language, an initial command processable by the one or more applications written in the first computer language;
• converting the initial command into a modified command processable by one or more applications written in a second computer language;
• and
• providing the modified command to the safety microprocessor executing the one or more applications written in the second computer language.
