ABSTRACT An implantable programmable infusion pump (IPIP) is dis- closed and generally includes: a fluid reservoir filled with selected medication; a pump for causing a precise volumetric dosage of medication to be withdrawn from the reservoir and delivered to the appropriate site within the body; and, a con- trol means for actuating the pump in a safe and programmable manner. The control means includes a microprocessor, a perma- nent memory containing a series of fixed software instructions, and a memory for storing prescription schedules, dosage limits and other data. The microprocessor actuates the pump in accor- dance with programmable prescription parameters and dosage lim- its stored in the memory. A communication link allows the con- trol means to be remotely programmed. The control means incorpo- rates a running integral dosage limit and other safety features which prevent an inadvertent or intentional medication over- dose. The control means also monitors the pump and fluid han- dling system and provides an alert if any improper or poten- tially unsafe operation is detected.
