An access key is required for operation of features of a medical instrument. A control program is used to control access to the operating features of the medical instrument. All programs of the medical instrument are validated for operation of any and all of the features of the medical instrument either alone or in any combination. However access to use of those features or combinations of features of the medical instrument requires an access key that is recognized by the control program. The pump may be usable in a basic operational configuration without entry of any access key; however, more advanced features will be disabled unless the operator enters a correct access key to enable one or more of those features. Operator input for enabled features will be accepted by the instrument but operator input for disabled features will not be accepted. Disabled features are not displayed, nor is information about them displayed. By means of the invention, the medical instrument and all of its control programs are completely validated for all uses and modes of operation during manufacture; however, users are restricted from use of certain features by means of the requirement for an access key.
