Abstract
An application authoring tool and application program system for medical pumps provides each pump with a standardized hardware interface abstracting the hardware and tasks done by the pump in order to provide a uniform interface for application programmers across different pump types. The standardized interface may translate hardware communication with hardware on different machines, do hardware signal range checking, and handle routine but detailed hardware tasks such as error reporting. A system for installing multiple applications on pumps allows a flexible trade-off between reducing pump programming time by loading specialized application programs and preserving pump flexibility by allowing the user to select among multiple applications.
