主权项 1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising: a plurality of near field communication (NFC) tags, each NFC tag of the plurality of NFC tags being encased in an individual housing, each NFC tag of the plurality of NFC tags storing respective information that corresponds to one or more actions to be initiated by a portable infusion pump in response to a receipt by the portable infusion pump of the respective information, at least one NFC tag of the plurality of NFC tags storing information comprising a value of carbohydrates; and the portable infusion pump comprising: a portable housing defining a space to receive a medicine; a pump drive system to dispense medicine from the portable housing when the medicine is received in the space; control circuitry that communicates control signals to the pump drive system to control dispensation of the medicine from the portable housing when the medicine is received in the space; and a NFC circuit electrically connected with the control circuitry to communicate to the control circuitry, wherein the NFC circuit is configured to wirelessly receive the respective information stored on each NFC tag of the plurality of NFC tags, and wherein the control circuitry is configured to initiate one or more particular actions of the portable infusion pump that correspond to the respective information in response to receiving the respective information, wherein the one or more particular actions of the portable infusion pump comprise calculating a dispensation of the medicine, wherein said calculating the dispensation of the medicine is performed using the value of carbohydrates, and wherein the dispensation correlates to the value of carbohydrates; wherein each individual housing encases a single NFC tag and is physically separate from the portable infusion pump and the medicine.
