Patent attributes
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.
