Data Handling Software Safety Features<br />

Data Stored in RAM<br />

Section 5: Reference<br />

Before use, data associated with delivery and stored in RAM is tested<br />

by calculating a CRC on the data and then comparing it with the CRC<br />

stored with the data. If the stored and calculated CRCs do not match, the<br />

software will display a system fault screen, turn on a continuous twotone<br />

audible alarm, and stop all medication delivery.<br />

Data Stored in EEPROM<br />

Before use, data associated with delivery and stored in EEPROM is tested<br />

by calculating a CRC on the data and then comparing it with the CRC<br />

stored with the data. If the stored and calculated CRCs do not match, the<br />

software will display a system fault screen, turn on a continuous twotone<br />

audible alarm, and stop all medication delivery.<br />

Data Stored in NOVRAM<br />

Before use, data associated with delivery and stored in NOVRAM is<br />

tested by calculating a CRC on the data and then comparing it with<br />

the CRC stored with the data. If the stored and calculated CRCs do not<br />

match, the software will display a system fault screen, turn on a continuous<br />

two-tone audible alarm, and stop all medication delivery.<br />

Data Used in Calculations<br />

Calculations on data used in some way to control the delivery of medication<br />

are performed redundantly.<br />

The two calculated values are then compared. If the two values do not<br />

match, the software will display a system fault screen, turn on a continuous<br />

two-tone audible alarm, and stop all medication delivery.<br />

Timer Data Registers<br />

The data in the Real Time Clock is checked at regular intervals. If the<br />

data is not reasonable, the software will turn on a continuous two-tone<br />

audible alarm and stop all medication delivery.<br />
