1. A medical device programming assembly for programming a medical treatment parameter on an infusion device configured to receive a programming key, the medical device programming assembly comprising:
a programming key configured to mate with the infusion device, the programming key further comprising:
a cover for supporting one or more programming key components, the components comprising:
a programmable, non-transitory, computer readable storage device affixed to the cover and encoding a digital key, a priming sequence and one or more medical treatment parameters for operating the infusion device;
a data connector electrically connected to the storage device and configured to mate with a corresponding data connector on the infusion device for the transfer of data from the storage device to the infusion device; and
a fastener coupling providing a locking means, the fastener coupling affixed to the storage device and configured to mate with a corresponding coupling on the infusion device when the data connector is connected with the corresponding data connector on the infusion device;
wherein the programming key storage device is configured to occupy a shape formed by the infusion device, and the locking means is configured to lock the cover and the infusion device when the programming key data connector and fastener coupling are mated with the corresponding data connector and fastener coupling on the infusion device.
