System and method for administering an infusible fluid
A method, computer program product, and infusion pump assembly for administering a sequential, multi-part, infusion event, wherein the sequential, multi-part, infusion event includes a plurality of discrete infusion events. If a one-time infusion event is available to be administered, the administration of at least a portion of the plurality of discrete infusion events included within the sequential, multi-part, infusion event is delayed. The one-time infusion event is administered.
1. An infusion pump assembly comprising a processor including processing logic configured to perform operations comprising:
administering a sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event with an infusible fluid, wherein the sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event includes a first plurality of discrete infusion events;
administering a sequential, multi-part, extended bolus infusion event with the infusible fluid, wherein the sequential, multi-part, extended bolus infusion event includes a second plurality of discrete infusion events;
determining through the processing logic whether a one-time infusion event is available to be administered; and
if the one-time infusion event is available to be administered with the infusible fluid, delaying the administration of at least a portion of the first plurality of discrete infusion events included within the sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event and at least a portion of the second plurality of discrete infusion events within the sequential, multi-part, extended bolus infusion event; and
administering the one-time infusion event.
2. The infusion pump assembly of claim 1 , wherein the infusion pump assembly is further configured to perform operations comprising:
once the administration of the one-time infusion event is completed, administering the at least a portion of the first plurality of discrete infusion events included within the sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event and the at least a portion of the second plurality of discrete infusion events within the sequential, multi-part, extended bolus infusion event.
3. The infusion pump assembly of claim 1 wherein the one-time infusion event includes a normal bolus infusion event.
4. The infusion pump assembly of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first plurality of discrete infusion events includes a plurality of discrete infusion sub-events.
5. The infusion pump assembly of claim 1 wherein the one-time infusion event includes a plurality of one-time infusion sub-events.
6. An infusion pump assembly comprising a processor including processing logic configured to perform operations comprising:
administering a sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event with an infusible fluid;
administering an extended bolus infusion event with the infusible fluid;
determining through the processing logic whether a one-time infusion event is available to be administered; and
if a one-time infusion event is available to be administered with the infusible fluid, delaying the administration of at least a portion of the sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event and at least a portion of the extended bolus infusion event; and
administering the one-time infusion event.
7. The infusion pump assembly of claim 6 further comprising:
administering the sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event after the one-time infusion event has completed; and
administering the extended bolus infusion event after the one-time infusion event has completed.
8. The infusion pump assembly of claim 7 wherein the extended bolus infusion event occurs simultaneously with the sequential, multi-part, basal infusion event.
9. The infusion pump assembly of claim 6 wherein the one-time infusion event includes a normal bolus infusion event.
10. The infusion pump assembly of claim 6 wherein the one-time infusion event includes a plurality of one-time infusion sub-events.
