1. A method for infusing a medical substance comprising:
initiating a first time trace based on a first user input and a second time trace based on a second user input, the first time trace and the second time trace being independent time traces based on said first user input and said second user input, said first time trace comprising a first start time, a first stop time, and a first duration, said second time trace comprising a second start time, a second stop time, and a second duration;
evaluating said first time trace and said second time trace to command infusing of the medical substance based on a comparison between said first time trace and said second time trace, said comparison depending on at least one of said first start time, said first stop time, said first duration, coinciding with at least one of said second start time, said second stop time, and said second duration; and
initiating a bolus infusion comprising an amount of the medical substance that is independent of the first duration and the second duration when the comparison between said first time trace and said second time trace indicates a valid bolus activation using said first user input and said second user input.
