Infusion pump systems and methods

摘要

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can include a controller in which one or more features sets to be provided by the controller are enabled or disabled based upon the particular pump device that is connected to the controller. For example, in some embodiments, one or more advanced features of the controller are available to the user only when a first type of pump device (e.g., having predefined settings stored therein) is connected to the controller, and those advanced features of the controller are disabled when a second type of pump device is connected to the controller.

主权项

1. A method of using a portable infusion pump system, comprising:
selecting an insulin pump device from a set of insulin pump devices comprising at least a first type of insulin pump device and a second type of insulin pump device having the same size and shape as the first type of insulin pump device, wherein the first type of insulin pump device houses a drive system configured to dispense insulin and an internal circuit that stores a first parameter setting indicative of disabling wireless communication, and wherein the second type of insulin pump device houses a drive system configured to dispense insulin and an internal circuit that stores a second parameter setting indicative of enabling wireless communication; and removably attaching the first type of insulin pump device to a controller device to form an electrical connection between the controller device and the first type of insulin pump device so that the controller device is operable to control the drive system of the first type of insulin pump device to dispense insulin from the first type of insulin pump device, wherein the controller device automatically disables a wireless communication device of the controller device in response to querying via the electrical connection the first parameter setting of the internal circuit housed by the first type of insulin pump device, and wherein the controller device displays a text alert message on a user interface display of the controller device indicating that wireless communication is disabled.
