Abstract:
Configuration software implements techniques for customizing names of insulin delivery profiles with improved patient safety. The techniques include: receiving a string of characters which serve as a name for a given insulin delivery profile, where the insulin delivery profile includes at least one parameter pertaining to insulin delivery by an insulin pump and is one of a plurality of insulin delivery profiles associated with a given patient; normalizing the string of characters in accordance with a rule set; comparing the normalized string of characters with names for each of the plurality of insulin delivery profiles; and updating the name of the given insulin delivery profile in a pump configuration file residing on the configuration device when the normalized string of characters is unique in relation to the names of the plurality of insulin delivery profiles.

Abstract:
A method of facilitating communication between a resource and a computer is described. The computer employs a software application that allows the computer to communicate with the resource. The resource may comprise a medical device such as a blood glucose meter or an insulin pump. In order to facilitate communication between the computer and the resource, the software constructs a communication protocol particular to the type of resource connected to the computer. The stack comprising the communication protocol allows the computer to communicate with the resource. Once the resource and computer cease communication, the stack may be removed from the memory of the computer.
