A generic treatment protocol is disclosed for therapeutically treating a patient via an implantable treatment device. Treatment steps can be defined to start and end at absolute times, or can be programmed via telemetry to start a certain amount of time after termination of a previously executed treatment step. Treatment steps have a treatment rate or dose attribute and a duration attribute. Treatment steps may optionally enable patient-activated bolus overlays. Patient-activated rate or dosage adjustments can also optionally be enabled. Repeated-execution treatment-step groups are also provided. Such treatment-step groups can have start and end times, a group duration, and a group total dose, each defined in a manner similar to that for a treatment step. Treatment-step groups include a repetition count, which could be set to a value that causes the group to repeat forever. Single execution treatment steps can, accordingly, be programmed to execute before and/or after a repeated-execution treatment-step group.

Generic multi-step therapeutic treatment protocol

A method for generating one or more hardmacro technology files comprising the steps of determining a netlist, generating a timing constraints file in response to (i) the netlist and (ii) a time budget, and generating the hardmacro technology files in response to (i) the netlist and (ii) the timing constraints file.
