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.
