FIELD UPDATE OF AN AMBULATORY INFUSION PUMP SYSTEM

摘要

Portable or ambulatory infusion devices and systems capable of remotely updating an ambulatory fluid delivery device include safety protocols that verify the status of the ambulatory fluid delivery device before and after a field update of software. Methods of accomplishing the same field update of software are also described.

主权项

1. An ambulatory fluid delivery device, comprising:
a user interface that a user operates to input directions and data that determine the dosing of a medicament to a patient; a liquid drug repository that contains the medicament; a pump fluidly connected to the liquid drug repository; an electrical controller configured to direct the pump to release the medicament; and a digital storage component, operably connected to the electrical controller, configured to store—
data regarding administered doses of the medicament;one or more device history logs of the fluid delivery device;an operating system of fluid delivery device;user profile information;identifying information regarding the fluid delivery device; andsafety protocols for the fluid delivery device; and a signal processing component that sends and receives electrical data to and from the controller, wherein the fluid delivery device is configured to—
receive software updates sent from a qualified source;verify the appropriateness of the software updates for the fluid delivery device based upon the identifying information and device history logs;automatically install the software updates;update the device history logs; andperform tests conforming to the safety protocols after installation of the software.
